Learn, Explore, Demonstrate and Extend KnowledgeDiscovery Education Science for elementary takes students beyond theory to the more engaging world of practical demonstrations and explorations.

LearnScientific concepts are introduced through leveled reading passages, e-books, Fun-Damentals and en-gaging video segments. Addressing multiple learning styles, these resources also support literacy instruction across the curriculum.

DemonstrateStudents demonstrate understanding in two ways: They can show acquired knowl-edge through online selected response as-sessments. Alternatively, teachers can print a Brief Constructed Response (BCR) for students to complete, which includes teacher scoring tools.

ExtendEducators encourage additional learning by enabling students to access middle school level resources on particular topics. The resources also let students realize the con-nections between concepts by exploring the ways they relate to each other.

ExploreVirtual Labs and Explorations allow students to practice science like real scientists. Through experimentation, students learn to interpret data, draw conclusions supported by this data, and practice important math skills. This allows them to make and challenge hypotheses, see what happens when they change variables and discover the underlying science of their surrounding world.
