SCIENCE CURRICULUM BUILT ON THE CALIFORNIA NGSS

Built on a digital platform, enhanced by print, and brought to life through hands-on kits, STEMscopes CA NGSS 3D offers a comprehensive solution to address the three dimensions of the California NGSS. Our award-winning curriculum is designed around the 5E learning model, with the addition of Intervention and Acceleration, for an engaging, impactful approach to science instruction.

Student-driven inquiry of phenomena, real-world connections, and hands-on exploration provide students a meaningful learning experience, while teachers get the support they need through flexible resources and embedded professional development. Now available in Spanish for grades TK-12.

Standards-Aligned

100% alignment is the cornerstone of all we do. From NGSS to your unique state standards, we write STEM science curriculum from the ground up to match the rigor and depth of all objectives.

5E + IA Instructional Model

STEMscopes pedagogy is rooted in Bybee’s 5E model, Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences, and the flipped classroom where students learn by doing and experiencing rather than passively observing.

What’s the 5e+ia model?

Engaging, Real-world Connections

Students learn best through hands-on experiences with experiments, exploration of ideas, interpretation of what they observe, and their ability to relate scientific concepts to the real world. STEMscopes Science™ creates a student-centric, STEM learning environment where students actually get to do science.

STEMSCOPES SCIENCE™ RAISES STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

How do we know that our science curriculum works? The proof is in the data.

Our research studies show that using STEMscopes results in a higher number of students who meet or exceed science proficiency benchmarks on state assessments. Having access to high-quality K-12 curriculum not only helps improve U.S. students’ science proficiency levels, but addresses our country’s critical need for students to pursue careers in STEM.

Explore our case studies to find out how districts across the country use STEMscopes to improve their science instruction and overall results.

“Being a first-year teacher, I love having everything you need at the access of your computer to complete a lesson plan. From vocabulary, to video with worksheets in not only English, but also in Spanish, as well as extended activities. I love having the hands-on components that include a supply list as well as a quick how-to video on those hands on activities.”

Amber Moenning Teacher

Crockett Elementary, Wichita Falls ISD, Texas

“Math Nation is the best! We are already using this at our school, and I encourage anyone and everyone who isn’t to take advantage of this!! There are videoed lessons with Check for Understanding questions at the end of each and Test Yourself at the end of each unit. Questions that are missed have video demonstrations for how it should be done. There are message boards available for students to help other students, and teachers are available as well.”

Amy Caldwell Younger Math Academic Coach

“STEMscopes allows me to focus on students doing science, not just reading about science. The annual student subscription is reasonable and suggests materials that are inexpensive and easy to find, making hands-on science affordable for a small school with a limited science budget.”

Angelin Petit Middle School Science Teacher

“The videos and check your understanding sections are invaluable for reinforcing learning.”

“The videos and check your understanding sections are invaluable for reinforcing learning.”

“I love how every question and problem the students need to work on is real-world and requires them to think. The content encourages using multiple methods and allows students to approach questions in different ways. It allows them to have productive struggle, and I have really seen an improvement in the effort and confidence in the students. They are more willing to approach a problem and try different strategies without giving up.”

Caroline Menhenett Teacher

“Math Nation is giving students a lift with their math skills and is helping our students adjust to new situations, whether they are not returning to physical school, have a new teacher, or are students who are not attending a traditional five-days-a-week program.”
