Teaching Science through Phenomena using the 3D Model

To prepare students for future challenges, Dynamic Science implements phenomenon-based learning. Our lessons shift students’ focus from learning about science to the discovery and application of scientific knowledge. We accomplish this by sparking the student’s scientific curiosity in order to drive instruction.

The same experience is available entirely in Spanish through Ciencias Dinámicas — purpose-built for bilingual and dual language programs.
