We offer a 3-course Integrated Science Model in 3 disciplines; Biology, Chemistry, and Physics for the High School classroom.
Our standards-based interactive materials, such as simulations, videos, and 3D models, are centered around anchoring phenomena, promoting student inquiry, and connecting science to the real world.
NGSS The Living Earth: Integrating Biology and Earth Science
This digital resource includes 6 units. Each unit begins with an anchoring phenomenon that is then investigated in a number of modules (investigative phenomena) that provide opportunities for students to observe, collaborate and explore.
Units include:
Ecosystem interactions and energy: Powering a predator
History of the Earth’s atmosphere – Photosynthesis and respiration: Even plants have limitations
Evidence of common ancestry and diversity: From the mammoth to the elephant
Inheritance of traits: It’s in your genes
Structure, function, and growth (from cells to organisms): Cells, the building blocks of life and health
Ecosystem stability and the response to climate change: Taking Earth’s temperature
NGSS Chemistry in the Earth System: Integrating Chemistry and Earth and Space Science
This digital resource includes 6 units, which cover:
Combustion: our forests are burning
Heat and energy in the Earth system: The scientific energy of crystals
Atoms, element,s and molecules: So many minerals, so few elements
Chemical reactions: The power of a battery
Chemistry of climate change: A few degrees do matter
The dynamics of chemical reactions and ocean acidification: The impact on coral reefs
The first module of each unit introduces an anchoring phenomenon, which is then further explored in the subsequent modules through a combination of observation, exploration, and collaboration.
NGSS Physics of the Universe: Integrating Physics and Earth and Space Science
This digital resource includes 6 units. Each unit features an anchoring phenomenon that you and your students explore in a number of modules containing both digital and hands-on activities.
Units include:
Forces and motion: The science of going to space
Forces at a distance: Celestial motion (including satellites)
Energy conversion and renewable energy: Energy mining to power your life
Nuclear processes and Earth history: Apollo missions, humankind’s first step to living in space
Waves and electromagnetic radiation: Waves carrying information
Stars and the origins of the universe: Visualizing the universe and predicting its future
Kindly find the Earth and Space Science Standards Mapping for each subject on this link.
Additionally, we are happy to announce that we are in the process of creating a stand-alone Earth and Space Science course which will be ready for the 2024/2025 academic year.
