Science Instructor’s Guides
The Science Instructor’s Guides include the complete schedule for the year. Each week includes a schedule of what books to read, when to read them, and what experiments to do in the Experiment Book and what science supplies you will need for that experiment, both for the present week and the week to come. Instructor’s Guides also include Activity Sheets, filled with questions and simple activities to help reinforce each day’s learning.
Experiment Book
The BookShark Virtual Experiment Book was specifically designed to meet NGSS standards. It provides weekly experiments that correspond directly with the literature reading.
Each experiment begins with an overview of the key concepts, so you have a big-picture view of the main goals of the lesson. The student then works directly through the scientific method as they make a prediction; test and observe, then analyze. As the student and parent work through the experiment together, they discuss how these concepts work in the real world. The Experiment Book provides colorful, step-by-step instructions with fun facts that keep students engaged as they read through the process.
Experiment Kit
To help ensure parents have the materials necessary to perform the experiments, we include a box of materials that many families may not have at home. Items like marbles, magnets, wire, thumbtacks, straws, mirrors, seeds, paper clips, small model motors, etc. Our Experiment Book and instructor’s guide provides a list of items that they will need to provide, like milk cartons, pens, pencils, and cardboard.
“Before we started this school year, I had no idea how much he LOVED science. Now every week he looks forward to the Science experiments from the Science curriculum”
~ Stephanie Bishop
A Collection of Great Books
Our literature-based Science program includes methodically selected literature that bring science concepts to life. The books tie directly to the science concepts discussed in the standards-based Experiment Book but provide the engaging benefits of literature-based learning. Students read biographies of famous scientists and inventors, illustrated science books, and stories of scientific discovery.
Virtual Access
Our virtual program integrates the Instructor’s Guide and Experiment Book digitally and provides a platform to take assessments, submit experiment notes, and upload video or photos of completed experiments. The work can be instantly viewed by a teacher who can review grades and directly provide feedback to the students.
