A. Students at the prekindergarten (PreK) through grade 4 levels, including students with significant cognitive disabilities, are learning to observe by using their senses, describing properties of substances, recognizing appropriate terminology, and comparing, sorting, classifying, and learning about the natural world. Science activities and investigations can be used to engage students in a variety of inquiry activities, such as questioning, observing, measuring, calculating, graphing, and communicating that are the essence of science. These skills and concepts are taught through the five strands of science:

1. science as inquiry;

2. physical science;

3. life science;

4. earth and space science; and

5. science and the environment.
