Grade Level 3-4

You have seen how integrated math and science are with the SAE curriculum (Jet Toy). Now compare with AIMS or GEMS. Please make sure you find mathematics integrated more than just graphing data. That is a fault of some programs "integrating" mathematics. There is so much more than just creating a graph. Please research a different way or ways to use math.

When looking in the TRC, please find a different AIMS or GEMS topic than already posted! There are numerous titles from which to choose!
