LAB TO LIFE: BOOKSHARK'S MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE

EPISODE 185 | In this episode, we introduce BookShark’s brand-new middle school science curriculum—a dynamic program designed to bring science to life for homeschoolers in grades 6–8. Aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), this innovative curriculum blends engaging literature, guided inquiry, and hands-on experiments to create a seamless and meaningful learning experience.Discover how each hands-on lab is intentionally connected to the literature students have read in the days leading up to the activity, reinforcing scientific concepts through both storytelling and experimentation. Join us as we talk with Amy R. about how this fresh approach builds confidence, promotes critical thinking, and makes science relevant and exciting—bridging the gap from lab to life.Thanks to show sponsor BookShark.
