INSPIRE CURIOSITY WITH PHENOMENA‑BASED 3D LEARNING STEM CURRICULUM
STEMscopes New York 3D uses the 5E lesson model plus intervention and acceleration to engage your students in the wonder of STEM. Our research-based curriculum is available in a digital format, enhanced by print materials, and brought to life through exploratory hands-on kits for a blended learning experience that helps students demonstrate mastery of next-generation science standards.
WHY TEACHERS PREFER STEMSCOPES
The Next Generation Science Standards are complex and hard to unpack, but STEMscopes New York 3D’s award-winning curriculum design and embedded professional development make it easy for new and veteran teachers alike to teach to the rigor and depth demanded by these new standards.
Built on a digital platform, enhanced by print, and brought to life in hands-on kits, STEMscopes New York 3D employs 3D learning to comprehensively address the Disciplinary Core Ideas, Crosscutting Concepts, and Science and Engineering Practices through the student-driven inquiry of phenomena across flexible storylines.
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.
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.
Professional Learning
We’re here for you every step of the way. Our training programs offer:
- Hands-on use of instruction materials
- Practice using embedded, high-impact STEM instructional strategies
- On-demand trainings to full STEM certification
- Partner benefits with National Institute for STEM Education
Flexible and Equitable Approach to Teaching and Learning
We equip teachers with more than 25 resources per lesson to effectively differentiate, adapt to any classroom environment, and equitably engage all students in hands-on learning. You can assess or assign lessons digitally or print any element of a lesson for in-person instruction.
Research and Results
With a data backbone boasting more than 40 case studies with hundreds of thousands of students, STEMscopes Science™ has proven itself a leader in the field AND in driving student results while solidifying a real-world understanding of scientific phenomena.
Blended Learning
Our blended learning platform offers teachers flexible and modular ways to teach. Use our digital platform to assign activities directly to students, enhance literacy with our print, and make hands-on lab setup a snap with our intuitively packaged kits.
COHERENT STORYLINES AND PHENOMENA
STEMscopes NGSS 3D is organized into units (bundles), chapters (scopes), and lessons (hands-on Explores) that build upon each other to form a sequence of performance expectations (mission action plan). Publishers often misrepresent coherence as a method of teaching by numbered steps and ordered content. However, coherence in the NGSS allows students to explore a variety of phenomena and apply the three dimensions to real-world concepts using prior knowledge and new understandings.
STEMscopes NGSS Levels of Coherence
LESSON DESIGN
Each scope is built on the 5E lesson model—Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate—and lessons are scaffolded to build upon the previous lesson’s three-dimensional learning. Throughout each scope, teachers can access resources for extra support and differentiation, including Intervention and Acceleration, to meet the needs of every unique learner.
LAYERED PHENOMENA
Each bundle begins with an anchoring phenomena event, driving question, and mission action plan. Together, these elements drive the instructional focus of the scopes within a bundle. Scopes also include investigative and everyday phenomena that progressively build student knowledge toward the unit’s anchoring phenomena and culminate in the bundle’s mission action plan.
TECHNOLOGY AND DATA INTEGRATION
Teaching is hard enough. When it comes to technology and integrations, it needs to just work. STEMscopes Science™ easily integrates with your favorite LMS while making digital learning fun and accessible.
LMS INTEGRATION
Schoology, Skyward, Clever, and more— we work with your LMS. STEMscopes Science™ integrations have become synonymous with single sign-on, grade passback, and curriculum mapping.
GOOGLE CLASSROOM
Google Classroom is here to stay, and with it comes a host of powerful features to make teaching easier and more interactive. Easily connect STEMscopes to your Google Classroom and let the learning begin!
ONLINE/OFFLINE MODE
If the pandemic taught us anything, it was that digital and virtual learning are vital to reach all students. With our new offline mode, STEMscopes can be just as mobile as your students, syncing whenever they return to an internet connection.
SEAMLESS AND FRIENDLY INTERFACE
With your feedback, we’ve streamlined our interface, added a beginning digital user student version, and made functionalities like annotations, highlighting, and assigning even easier to use.

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.
