Welcome Back!
As always, please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Important Science Updates
Middle School
8th Grade is completely out of transition which means I had to do some editing to the scope and sequence for units 3 and 4. Check out those updates prior to planning your lessons.
Driving questions have been added to the 6-8th grade scope and sequence. These driving questions focus on the anchor phenomena and are used to help engage students in discovery through critical thinking and collaboration. You can find the driving question at the top of the scope and sequence document for each unit.
High School
9-12 Non-Life Science
Life Science Only
Life science will implement a modified version of the iHub curriculum for the 2019-2020 school year. You have a couple different options for accessing the materials.
Digital copies
Digital copies of the teacher packets and students packets can be found on the Caddo Science website under the standards tab.
Printed Copies
You can get a printed copy of the teacher and student resources from the Teacher Resource Center in the Wanda Gunn Professional Development Center by following these steps:
1. Go to the Teacher Resource Center (TRC)
2. Use any computer in TRC and open the TRC shared folder.
3. Click on Caddo Science
4. Click on Middle/High
5. Click on Caddo Modified iHub
