Discovery Education Science

Today, I would like you to learn how to use Discovery Education's Science website. It is a collection of videos and explorations on every science topic.
  1. Go to Discovery Education Science, science.discoveryeducation.com
  2. Login using the following username and password
    • Username: lobostudent(Clicker Number)
    • Password: lobos
  3. Either search for a topic, or click on the tabs and links (Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science) and choose a topic. Find one or two short videos and watch it. You have 20 minutes.
  4. Did you learn anything new? What was it about? 
  5. This website also has something called explorations. Search for another topic or explorations and then choose exploration under Narrow My Results. 
  6. Can you follow the instructions? How was the exploration different than the video?
Finished so soon?
