We haven’t learned the scientific method yet, but before we start, I wanted to have a nice visual available for them. I’ve got it printed out in color in the front of the room. I added some arrows and it works well!

This Scientific Investigation & Inquiry Packet was exactly what I needed to kick off my science curriculum! The materials are clear, engaging, and easy to use—perfect for those first few weeks when students are getting back into the swing of things. The colorful anchor charts make great visual references, and the reading passages do a great job of breaking down key ideas about the scientific method and inquiry in a way that’s accessible to middle school students.
