Science Grades 1-4

Catch the Science Bug Foundation, Inc. launched a new website, www.sciencebug.org, filled with science content that is presented through video, interactive on-line activities, and downloadable worksheets! Most content is found through the Science Files link. The site is geared towards children in grades 1-4 but children younger and older than the targeted age group have enjoyed using this site.

Educators will find printable science activities with data collection worksheets for use in a classroom or on the school grounds. Recently, a teacher’s guide was posted listing what topic each science activity teaches and how this activity could relate to other topics. Science career information is being added to continuously as we aim to present a great diversity of scientists and job descriptions under the Meet Our Scientists page.

This website just received an American Library Association’s Great Websites for Kids award.

Would you have means to distribute this website to the teachers in your state?

This foundation is a 501c3 and our children’s science series currently airs on PBS out of Providence, RI. We would appreciate any help you could provide for us in helping to reach more children and teachers. Please contact me at 508-854-1681 if you have any questions.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Kim Bent
