This document provides a template for documenting science materials used in a school. It includes tables to list the material name, function, location used, who uses it and how many can use it at once, frequency of use, and relevance to the curriculum. Examples given include a science book for students to follow the curriculum daily in the classroom, a mini telescope used once by Grade 1 teachers and students for objects in the sky, and a smart board displayed daily in the classroom by teachers for all students and teachers. The template aims to catalog resources and ensure they are relevant, safe and appropriate for the grade level.
