Science E 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 E students will learn about energy; earth’s systems, including rock formations, tectonic plates, and natural hazards; the properties of waves; and physical characteristics of living things.

The literature includes three captivating Usborne resource books, starting with the Usborne Illustrated Elementary Science Dictionary, a student friendly dictionary that explains nearly every concept of basic science. The other two resource books focus on the abilities certain animals develop to survive and an in-depth look at planet earth.  Students will also read illustrated books about waves and energy, an interactive workbook that directly teaches computer coding, and a biography about a famous Hollywood inventor.
