PSE and The Collaborative for Teaching and Learning have joined forces to integrate standards-aligned science lessons into CTL’s Artful Reading curriculum, which already integrates the arts into literacy instruction while meeting both National Arts and Literacy standards.

Kayla Makes a Duck Call is a science lesson (aligned to NGSS performance expectations 1-LS1-1 and 1-PS4-4) integrated into an existing module (Make Way for Ducklings). It is based around an engineering problem related to sounds that ducks make. We are currently testing this science lesson in 1st Grade classrooms. Contact us if you are interested in testing out an Artful Reading science lesson with your students.
