This is a super cool science support that you and your kids are going to LOVE. (P.S. the hands-on materials are here in the building.  Here is a short excerpt from the letter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>In an effort to make your teaching lives a little easier, we\u2019ve created POP Science \u2013 short, hands-on science units designed specifically for each grade level in Bend-La Pine Elementary Schools. Each unit focuses on a different topic that aligns with one NGSS core idea and one Amplify theme.  Our hope is that the step-by-step slide decks, humorous videos, and the supplies we have provided, will minimize your prep time and make it easier for you to teach science while you are navigating ever-changing classroom requirements.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">COVID\/ Safety Related Information:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Questions\/Concerns about COVID-19 related matters?:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/12W1CiwISAOh_l5XUgFmkiUO2LejQ_wpP\/view\">Please follow this flowchart<\/a>.
