Philosophy
Carol Daniels and Carolyn Hopper are the authors of Science Select, which is an innovative, fourth
and
fifth grade science curricula.  The authors' goal is to address the needs of Elementary science
teachers by providing them with a comprehensive and sequential program for the entire school year.

Daily lesson plans that foster critical thinking and problem solving are key components of this
program, along with a combination of theory and laboratory investigations.  It is of their belief that, in
providing a solid science program, foundation in the essential concepts, skills and vocabulary, students
will have a successful science experience.
