Science D Package

This engaging, Science course combines BookShark’s signature, literature-based approach with national standards. Through captivating literature and experiments, our highly academic program utilizes crosscutting concepts to unify the study of science and engineering through common application.

Science D students will learn about forces and interactions, life systems and cycles, weather and climate, and engineering design.

The literature includes two insightful and engaging resource books. The Did You Know? Science book focuses on the needs of living things, the human body, and meteorology, while the Usborne Encyclopedia of Seas and Oceans book focuses on the ecosystems found in our ocean depths.

The literature is complemented by an entertaining story about the Magic School Bus squeezing through power lines, a true story about wolves restoring an entire ecosystem, a captivating introduction to robots, and a biography on the electrical wizard Nikola Tesla.
