Science 5 Subject Kit, 5th Ed

Guide students through scientific reasoning and questioning using the Socratic method. Science 5 builds on the foundations of previous years while equipping students to apply science to life through observation and analytics. Firmly embracing a biblical worldview and young earth model, Science 5 covers life science, physical science, and earth science with the goal of building inquiry skills and growing science vocabulary and understanding.

How BJU Teaches Science 5:

• Effective Questioning – This inquiry-based program teaches students to develop effective scientific questions and design experiments to answer those questions. Each lesson starts with an essential question for pre-reading and lesson framing.
• Guided Discovery – Through group or individual exploration activities, Science 5 encourages students to inquire about and discover science concepts through guided demonstrations, object lessons, videos, and hands-on experiments.
• Scaffolded Instruction – This program systematically scaffolds instruction from foundational to advanced scientific concepts using the teaching cycle of engage, instruct, apply, and assess. Students participate in group discussions, analyze visuals, and work with graphic organizers to gain new knowledge.
• Varied Application – Varied opportunities to apply learning include investigations, STEM activities, communication activities, inference, hypothesizing, modeling, and experimentation. A focus on real-life applications ties science concepts into everyday experiences.
