[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of my son's science work that comes home looks exactly like language assignments. I spoke to the teacher about this. She said that in 2.0 it is integrated and the kids are never tested or expected to remember the science information. They just need to be able to write about what they read or did. We switched from a private school where the kids would have tests or assignments where you need to remember the science information and actually understand what is happening. Why does MCPS only teach language?[/quote] Science actually isn't just memorizing facts. (Although I do agree that it is important to know science facts.) Science is also finding out about stuff in natural world. If your son is finding out about stuff in the natural world, he is doing science. Also, you don't say what grade your son is in. I can say with certainty that there were no science tests in grades K-3 in my children's school before Curriculum 2.0.[/quote]
