| Although science is often taught in isolation, it is connected in some way to every other subject learned in school. Children studying science use math to analyze data, they practice language arts skills when communicating their ideas and results, and learn about history when studying scientific developments over time. Students can even learn about music when studying the waves and vibrations that produce sound. By making these connections explicit, teachers foster a deeper understanding of science as a necessary and integral part of life. |  back to classroom |

"Ms. Gibson used integration very well in her lessons. I really like that... We don't live in isolation or in 45-minute blocks. We just don't do math for 45 minutes and then turn around and do language arts for 45 minutes in our daily living, so why do we ask our students to do that? Anytime we can take what we're doing and integrate the other content areas or disciplines, I think is very important for the students... I think that's the way our students learn best. Research says that's the way they learn best." Shirley Key University of Houston, Downtown |
