Elementary core curriculum performance indicators that SW floating Classroom program supports & amplifies:

Key Idea 1:

The central purpose of scientific inquiry is to develop explanations of natural phenomena

in a continuing, creative process.

Beyond the use of reasoning and consensus, scientific inquiry involves the testing of proposed

explanations involving the use of conventional techniques and procedures and usually

requiring considerable ingenuity.

Key Idea 3:

The observations made while testing proposed explanations, when analyzed using conventional

and invented methods, provide new insights into phenomena.
