Dear Parents, The 60 Science Power Words support vocabulary within the elementary Florida Science Standards. The purpose of sharing these words, is to provide you with a resource for reinforcing the connections between focused vocabulary in the science standards to real world learning experiences. Please see the examples below: If you see a bee flying from flower to flower, the word pollination can be connected to the experience. If it is raining outside, the word precipitation can be connected to the experience. If you add sugar to ice tea, the word dissolve can be added to the shared experience. This year, your child will take the state Science Assessment. Knowing and understanding the meaning of these words will support success in science on this assessment. 60 Science Power Words
