Each lesson begins with a Can You Explain It? question—a problem to solve or a discrepant event to explain. This feature sparks curiosity in students and serves as the context for three-dimensional learning and hands-on activities.
Students actively “do science” through hands-on science activities and labs; they think critically about their observations, practice gathering evidence, and defend their claims.
STEM is integrated into every unit, emphasizing engineering design as well as scientific literacy. Take it Further features careers in science and engineering to show students the real-world applications of what they’re learning.
This science curriculum uses the 5E Instructional Model and each lesson has unique interrelated 3D Learning Objectives that ensure 100% coverage of the NGSS. The HMH NGSS trace tool allows teachers to quickly view what students should already know and what they need to learn next.
