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"
