High-quality content built from the NextGen Science Standards.
Content is at the heart of everything we do!
Experiences
Inquiry-based, experiential learning designed to allow students to develop their own understanding of the concepts articulated in the standards.
Purposeful
Units designed to teach the concepts set forth in the standards — as opposed to activities "about" a topic, including a laser focus on criteria crucial to student understanding & retention.
Children's
Literature
Delightful stories and beautiful illustrations to provide a thematic basis for student learning.
Integrated
Units that include children's books & poems, hands-on science activities and connections to mathematics in order to promote student understanding of national standard concepts within a holistic setting.
Sound
Pedagogy
Units designed around research-based best practices in teaching & learning by science educators and education researchers.
Student
Thinking
Attention to student thinking built into teaching materials because children rarely come to science class without their own ideas about the world.
Appropriate
Technology
Technology designed to help teachers deliver and students learn high-quality content — as opposed to technology for the sake of technology.
Customizable
Multiple paths to allow for student learning to progress in any number of natural and fluid ways. Ability to employ student data to further instruction.
