I am very excited to start using Science Flix with my 5th grade students. This year we are trying a new integration of science and literacy and this resource will be very helpful with that. I plan to incorporate this during our literacy center time to support our life science and earth science units. In my classroom we have 1:1 Chromebooks, so students will be able to access, watch, and read on their own device. I will use Google Classroom as a way to link students to specific resources on the site. By doing this, I hope that students will gain a deeper understanding of our science concepts, and will gain an understanding of the relationship between science and literacy. Students will also practice informational literacy standards while reading. I believe that the videos will help students to better relate to the science concepts.  In addition to the topics available on this site, I am also excited about the tabs for science careers and news. I think students will be particularly excited to see current events that incorporate the concepts they have been learning. The information about the different careers may inspire some students and will also help them see the relevance of the concepts.
