Core Curriculum
A Science Curriculum Designed for the NGSS
Inspire K–5 students to think like scientists with phenomenon-driven, hands-on activities.
Student-Centered Science
HMH Into Science® and HMH ¡Arriba las Ciencias!™ support student-centered learning during teachers' dedicated science instruction, or integrated into ELA time.
Next Generation Science Standards
HMH Into Science is an NGSS science curriculum that provides a coherent, phenomenon-driven storyline; delivers three-dimensional learning; and incorporates the Claims, Evidence, and Reasoning model.
Flexibility to Meet Teachers' Needs
The curriculum allows educators to adapt instruction to a core or blended classroom, or integrate science into ELA.
Guided Implementation Support for Educators
Embedded on-demand program training and week-by-week planning guidance build teacher confidence in just 30 days, putting them on a clear pathway to success.
Students Do Science to Learn Science
Hands-On Activity Videos provide video-based teacher support including an easy-to-understand narrative explaining the approach and showing the actual activity with an age-appropriate student.
Research-Based Instruction that Encourages Scientific Thinking
STUDENT EXPERIENCE
WHOLE-STUDENT LEARNING
Authentic Science Activities
Hands-on activities include embedded social and emotional learning. Open-ended simulations allow students to use technology, like a real scientist in the field.
LEVELED READERS
FUNomenal Readers Model Science Practices
Lesson-aligned, “factual fiction” readers support phenomenon-based activities and ask students to make claims, gather evidence, and apply reasoning.
ASSESSMENT
Students Show What They Know
Students have many opportunities to show what they've learned on assessments in a wide range of formats, including interactive digital quizzes, end-of-unit tests, and hands-on performance tasks.
TEACHER EXPERIENCE
HANDS-ON LEARNING
Active Learning Engages Students
The curriculum uses the effective 5E instructional model, which encourages students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate the science, in hands-on and digital environments.
EMBEDDED ASSESSMENT
Assessments That Support Higher-Level Thinking
Embedded formative and summative assessments gauge student progress, identify where support may be needed, determine if students are making sense of phenomena, and provide modified options.
