Description: The STC curriculum is a hands-on kit program for grades 1-6. The inquiry-based curriculum lays the foundation for study of higher level scientific concepts in middle and high school. Several kits address genetics concepts or their antecedents, including "Comparing and Measuring" (1st grade), "Organisms" (1st gr.), "Life Cycle of Butterflies" (2nd gr.), "Changes" (2nd gr.), "Plant Growth and Development" (3rd gr.), "Animal Studies" (4th gr.), "Microworlds" (5th gr.), and "Ecosystems" (5th gr.).
Strengths: The STC curriculum is inquiry based, developmentally appropriate, and very teacher friendly.
Weaknesses: Teachers will need to independently determine what materials and concepts in the kits are related to genetics and be conscious of their role in laying the foundation for genetics study by older students.
