Science Super Stars – January 2022 Challenge
January 2022 Challenge
Teacher Instructions
Learning is most powerful when learning is connected to student lives beyond the classroom.
Will you get outdoors and explore the school yard or garden? A local park? Or participate in a citizen science project? Will you help the students to engage in a student action project?
Three simple steps to show your students' science:
- Choose a ‘beyond the classroom’ project
- Assign a writing or drawing task
- Share with CRS

Step1: Choose a ‘beyond the classroom’ project.
Find the lesson that works for your class and have fun exploring, identifying and recording the discoveries your students make outside of your classroom.
Teacher Resources:
Some websites that may inspire you include:
The California Education and Environment Initiative
CRS’ collection of outdoor science resources
National Geographic’s Citizen Science Resources
Cal Academy’s citizen science lesson plans
Step 2: Have Students Document Their Science "Beyond the Classroom"
Use student task slides (in English and Spanish)** or have students write & draw in their science notebooks; submit scans or photos of sample pages.
**Make sure you rename the copy with your name and school so that they are ready to share with us when they are done.
Step 3: Shine a light on your students! Submit your January Challenge entry
- Share the google slides or email photos or samples of student work. We really don't mind the format you and your students use.
- Share 10 representative examples for each monthly submission. We don't need an example from every student.
- We May Publicly Share Images of Student Work, so please only share photos or student work that CRS may share out.
