Science4Us case study
Right after adopting Science4Us, the pricipal at Cypress Elementary School in Broward County Public Schools in Florida could see that it was a program that would help her students get an important early start in science to help prepare them for later grades.
"In order for my students to achieve success in science and perform well on assessments in third, fourth, and fifth grade, they need to start science long before then... Not all teachers have a love for science or the knowledge for delivering the content. Science4Us helps them become more confident—they see the animations, dance with the kids, sing along—it's exciting for them. And they learn, too"

Topic: Biology
Objective: In this experiment, students will learn what makes up their blood by creating a model of components that make up blood.
Research Question: What makes up your blood?
Materials:
- Clear, empty bottle or container
- Red, cinnamon candy
- White beans
- Corn syrup
- White sprinkles
Experimental Procedure:
- Pour the corn syrup into the bottle or container, filling it 1/3 full. If using a bowl, you can add more corn syrup so that it is 1/2 or 2/3 full.
- Add a handful of the red, cinnamon candy to your bottle or container.
- Next, grab a smaller handful or white beans and add those to your bottle or container.
- Then add a handful of white sprinkles to your bottle or container.
- If your bottle or container has a top, add it now and then gently swirl or shake it so that all of the components mix together.
- Now observe the mixture. The Plasma = the corn syrup, the Red Blood Cells = Red, cinnamon candy, the White Blood Cells = White beans, and the Platelets = White sprinkles.
