A phenomena-based science curriculum
快播成人 Science is a K鈥�8 science curriculum that blends hands-on investigations, literacy-rich activities, and interactive digital tools to empower students to think, read, write, and argue like real scientists.
快播成人 Science for grades K鈥�8 has been rated all-green by EdReports.
Grounded in research and proven effective
UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science, the authors behind 快播成人 Science, developed the Do, Talk, Read, Write, Visualize approach, and gold standard research shows that it works. Our own efficacy research is pretty exciting, too. See more of our research.
Deep understanding
Do, Talk, Read, Write students outperform their peers.
English language learners excel
ELLs who used Do, Talk, Read, Write outperformed their ELL peers.
Progress through the learning progression
Progress through the learning progression for all middle school implementations, 2017-18 school year.
A powerful partnership
快播成人 Science was developed by the science education experts at UC Berkeley鈥檚 Lawrence Hall of Science and the digital learning team at 快播成人. As The Lawrence’s first curriculum designed to address the new science standards, 快播成人 Science reflects state-of-the-art practices in science teaching and learning.
Our approach
Each unit of 快播成人 Science engages students in a relevant, real-world problem where they investigate scientific phenomena, engage in collaboration and discussion, and develop models or explanations in order to arrive at solutions.
Rooted in research
快播成人 Science is rooted in the Lawrence Hall of Science鈥檚 Do, Talk, Read, Write, Visualize model of learning. This research-based approach presents students with multiple modalities through which to explore the NGSS curriculum.
A flexible, blended program
快播成人 Science includes hands-on activities, print materials, and powerful digital tools to support online and offline teaching and learning. Highly adaptable and user-friendly, the program gives schools and individual teachers flexibility based on their technology resources and preferences.
Students take on the roles of scientists and engineers.
In each unit, students take on the role of a scientist or engineer to investigate a real-world problem. These problems provide relevant contexts through which students investigate phenomena.
Built for the Next Generation Science Standards
When we created 快播成人 Science, we set out to create a science program that educators can use to bring the NGSS and three-dimensional science learning to life. In using the program, students engage with science and engineering practices, figure out disciplinary core ideas, and utilize and apply crosscutting concepts in multiple modalities across thoughtful, structured lessons, all centered around engaging anchor phenomena.
