Welcome to S & K Associates
hosted by Doc Fizzix
I am making the following downloads available for all the science educators that have attended my presentations at workshops across the nation as well as local, state, and national science teachers' conferences. I have received hundreds of requests for my materials on
Scaffolded Inquiry and the
3-Prong Approach to Science Success (activity, reading strategy, and assessment). I have been responding to these requests by saying, "As soon as I put the materials together in a book, I will let everyone know. " However, due to popular demand, I've decided not to wait to put them together in a book and to make them available now - even if some of the materials are in first draft form. I hope the materials will help you teach science successfully and help your students enjoy learning science. If this proves to be a successful way to distribute the materials, I'll keep putting new resources up on the web for you download. All lessons are in adobe PDF formate and can be viewed and printed with and PDF program. By clicking the "purchase" button, you will be re-directed to the Pay-Pal website to complete your purchase. Currently there is no "shopping cart" system set-up so each item has to be purchased individually. This URL will be changing and a shopping cart system will be added very soon so for now this is only a temporary site. If you have any comments or questions about the materials, please feel free to contact me.
