elevateScience® is more than a science textbook! It is a K-8 phenomena-based, hands-on science curriculum immersing students in the inquiry process. This is science elevated for problem solving, critical thinking, and the NGSS performance expectations.
elevateScience® organizes science learning around phenomena-based, real-world storylines called Quests.
Quest Connections help students build explanations of the unit’s phenomenon, piece-by-piece.
Quest Findings conclude the Quest by having students synthesize information and present their explanations.
uConnect Labs activate the phenomenon and generate questions.
uInvestigate Labs provides the experience around which the topic phenomena and DCI are explored.
uEngineer IT! STEM Labs introduce real-world design challenges, while incorporating the engineer design process.
uDemonstrate Labs encourage students to apply what they have learned to a new scenario and challenge.
elevateScience® is rich with assessment opportunities to inform teaching and improve learning. Assessments are downloadable, editable, printable and can be administered digitally through the Savvas Realize® digital platform.
An evidence-based approach provides the best teaching framework. In a recent study of Grades 6-8, elevateScience® students had statistically significant science performance gains after one year of use.
