Proposal

Our proposal will have us gather a list of Internet resources related to second grade science and social studies Grade Level Content Expectation's (GLCE's) for the State of Michigan. Since time and money are in short supply, the goal is to supplement our current areas of study with experiment demonstrations, simulations, slide shows, and other presentation materials that are available on the Internet. The actual GLCE's for science and social studies can be viewed by clicking below. Second grade science GLCE's Second grade social studies GLCE's
 * SIG FOCUS:** Our SIG will address the 4 common places in education : the teacher, the student, the subject matter, and the context. For the teacher, we want to find resources that will make teaching science and social studies more interesting by providing links to experiments and activities that we cannot do ourselves. As for the student, we want students to learn as much content as possible while getting excited about science and social studies. Due to the nature of our SIG, our biggest focus will be the subject matter, in this case social studies and science, and the context, which will generally be the classroom and integration of the social studies/science technical resources into other parts of the curriculum.


 * SIG MEMBERS AND AREA OF FOCUS:** Our two major categories of resources will be social studies, directed by SIG members John and Shawn, and science, directed by SIG members Becky and Leslie.
