Abstract	Science often takes a back burner to English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. With ELA and Math being tested from early years and school funding relying on each, many teachers are pushed by administrators to spend as much time as possible on those two subjects. During the authors' years as classroom teachers and professional development providers, they have attempted to find creative ways to make sure that students experience the joy, wonder, and excitement of science "through" other content areas--for their sense of responsibility to their students and per their administrators' requests. Learners have to talk "about something," listen "about something," read "about something," and write "about something." The authors' thinking and practice centers around making "that something" be science. In this article, the authors share their process of cross-curricular design via a lesson about forces. They have implemented this lesson with their K-2 and 3-5 students and teacher-learners. The content is relatable and comprehensible to teachers across grade levels. This lesson serves as an example of the process the authors follow for all their science and ELA lessons. (ERIC).
