Science Curriculum Alignment

Welcome to our new science curriculum alignment for grades 5 and 8, designed to seamlessly integrate the New York Next Gen Science State Standards with the Discovery Education experience platform. This innovative approach enhances science education and provides numerous benefits for both teachers and students.

The curriculum is built around the three dimensions of the NGSS:

• Science and Engineering Practices
• Disciplinary Core Ideas
• Crosscutting Concepts

This ensures that students develop a comprehensive understanding of scientific principles and processes.

Benefits for Teachers

• Differentiated Instruction: Discovery Education's platform offers tools for personalizing learning experiences, allowing teachers to address individual student needs effectively.

Benefits for Students

• Increased Engagement: The interactive and multimedia-rich content captivates students' attention and fosters a love for scientific exploration.
• Improved Scientific Literacy: Students develop critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of scientific concepts through hands-on inquiry and problem-solving activities.
