Nancy Larson® Science K–5 programs were created to help teachers provide challenging and meaningful science content to elementary-age children. Our program's methodology effectively builds a strong science foundation through in-depth study of topics and promotes long-term learning and knowledge of concepts. We are a complete science program that is easy to teach and includes hands-on activities, demonstrations and experiments. We provide the items needed for these activities and experiments in our tool kits. There are also on-line resources that include videos and slideshows reinforcing the concepts taught with visuals the students love. Children work as scientists -- reading, highlighting, writing, labeling, annotating, and illustrating their scientific observations in their interactive student booklets. Throughout the journey of scientific discovery, Nancy Larson Science students learn through a multi-sensory approach, develop higher-level thinking skills, and comprehend and retain the concepts being taught. Teachers, Principals and students love Nancy Larson Science K-5.
