Of course I can use fragments from other areas of the curriculum to teach science. Who doen't use science songs, poems, drawings, and mixed media to teach science in the primary grades? It's Literacy where I am constantly challenged. There is not enough TIME in my schedules to teach children how to write about science experiences. I am dependent on the classroom teachers to use fragmments of science classes to incorporate into writing lessons. It seems so logical as so much time is focused on writing skills, and science should be a natural as a subject matter for story writing and other literacy areas.
