WHAT IS STEMSCOPES SCIENCE™?

Over the years, studies have shown that students learn best not by listening to lectures or reading lengthy textbooks, but by doing the science themselves. That’s why first and foremost, we are a hands-on science curriculum.

SEE WHAT CALIFORNIA EDUCATORS SAY ABOUT US

“We appreciate the number of lessons and activities that are available in STEMscopes and the flexible ways in which they can be used,” said Weber. “What’s most attractive to our teachers is that they have the ability to use STEMscopes as they see fit, so they can continue to deliver the highest quality instruction and help every learner achieve at the highest levels.”

Chris Weber, Ed.D Director of STEM

Irvine USD, California

“STEMscopes takes the guesswork out of teaching the NGSS. While many resources claim to be NGSS-aligned, they rely heavily on reading and writing about science rather than doing science. STEMscopes is the only resource I’ve seen that’s aligned to meet all of the Next Generation Science Standards. It supports our vision for student-centered learning and follows all the best practices we want to see in our science classrooms.”

Jodi Marchesso STEM Curriculum Coach

Pasadena USD, California

“Now that they have these projects and this curriculum, they enjoy our program so much more. They like moving around, working together as a team, and building relationships with each other. It’s very inspiring to see the kids enjoy engineering as much as we do.”
