Welcome!
My name is Katie Marcello and I am in the Teacher Licensure Program at the University of Richmond. I have created this site as a point of reference when teaching 2nd grade science.
There are 4 topic pages based on the VA SOLs: Science Processes, Physical Science, Life Science, and Earth Science that provide the SOLs covered as well as any background information needed. Under the topic pages there are also subpages that contain links to children's books, web sites, lessons and activities, and assessment resources for each specific to each topic. For example, if you are preparing to teach weather to 2nd graders and you wanted additional resources, you would go to the Earth Science topic page and then click on Weather on the drop-down. To access the children's books, click on the picture of the book, and to access the websites, lessons & activities, and assessments click the on the title. There is also a 'Notes' page that contains general links that will be helpful to classroom teachers.
I hope you find this site to be useful for your classrooms!
Enjoy!
