Our Grades 3-5 Language Arts curriculum includes one optional Life Science module per grade level. If schools choose to teach this optional module, it will represent three additional hours per week of instruction but only during Module 2, which is approximately eight to nine weeks. Although the Life Science modules can stand alone, each one connects with and complements Module 2 of the grade-level language arts module lessons.

Science is about asking questions, observing carefully, investigating, reflecting, and then drawing conclusions based on evidence. The EL Education Life Science Modules for Grades 3–5 are designed to provide teachers and students with an inquiry-based approach to rigorous and authentic science instruction.
