"PLTW" (Project Lead the Way) https://www.pltw.org/ is the basis of the material used for this class. There is no "science book". Reading material is supplemented. Lots of activity and hands on!
This topic may be integrated with Language Arts material also.
STEM Science is also incorporated:
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math: Education for Global Leadership
“[Science] is more than a school subject, or the periodic table, or the properties of waves. It is an approach to the world, a critical way to understand and explore and engage with the world, and then have the capacity to change that world..."— President Barack Obama, March 23, 2015
Project Lead the Way......
Inspiring. Engaging. Empowering.
Your K-5 students already have the qualities of great designers and innovators. What PLTW Launch does is tap into their exploratory nature, engage them in learning that feels like play, and encourage them to keep discovering – now and for years to come.
PLTW Launch’s 24 interdisciplinary modules bring learning to life. The program empowers students to adopt a design-thinking mindset through compelling activities, projects, and problems that build upon each other and relate to the world around them. And as students engage in hands-on activities in computer science, engineering, and biomedical science, they become creative, collaborative problem solvers ready to take on any challenge.
