Description
Introducing the very first Beast Academy science! Similar in format to Beast Academy math, Beast Academy characters discuss important science concepts in comic style format. Instruction is also in the form of informational text with colorful infographics and other illustrations. Based on Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), topics cover concepts, practices, and standards outlined for Grade 3. Units include Forces and Interactions, Weather and Climate, Relationships in Ecosystems, and Inheritance and Variation of Traits. Interwoven throughout the lessons are a variety of question types such as challenge, discussion, research and journal questions. Students will need access to online resources to answer research questions. Journal questions can be answered in a separate science notebook. The rest of the activity pages can be completed directly in the book. Household labs are included with clear instructions. A list of items needed for each chapter is listed at the front of the book. Book A includes sixteen chapters with the recommendation of completing one chapter a week. Book B (not published yet) will also contain 16 chapters for the second semester. Solutions are included in the back. Pages are perforated for easy tear out. Non-reproducible. ~ Gina
