In addition to concepts and skills, The Massachusetts frameworks emphasize eight Science and Engineering Practices which are incorporated throughout our curriculum at all grade levels in order to develop the scientific practices in all students
Grade K-3 Science Curriculum
The Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Frameworks are used to construct the Belmont Elementary Science Programming.
To view the frameworks please click on the following link: Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Learning Standards,
During the course of their elementary experience, students at all Belmont elementary schools spiral through three main domains of science: Physical Science, Life Science, and Earth and Space Science.
At each grade level, students engage in the engineering design process in many of our units.
There are 3 science units per grade level. Click on the grade level below to read more about each unit.
