Chapter 9

After, reading chapter nine, I have developed a better understanding of how to integrate science with different subjects like mathematics, language arts, and social studies. I think that of all the subjects mentioned in the textbook that can be integrated with science, I feel that mathematics can be connected in many more different ways. For example, with mathematics which involves counting, estimating, using patterns to name a few could be used with young students as well as older students. Science always requires interpretation of the information gathered either by writing the information in a science journal for language arts, oral presentation for social studies, or graphs for mathematics. I really liked the idea of the prompt cards used in the textbook for reading science textbooks. I think this will help students who struggle with comprehension in reading really understand what they are reading. What I found surprising was the fact that children as young as five months can use concepts of addition and subtraction.
