SCIENCE FOR EDUCATORS

Introducing a new hands-on elementary science program that helps students think and act like real scientists. Created by our team of teacher-writers and subject experts, PhD Science^® is an innovative curriculum that inspires students to wonder about the world and empowers them to make sense of it.

Students use a pipette to drop water onto a sugar cube and observe the results.

The Support You Need

New standards have shifted classrooms toward inquiry-driven instruction. PhD Science wasn’t retrofitted for the standards. It was designed to help teachers become facilitators while students drive phenomenon-based learning. It is a coherent curriculum designed to reflect the shift in science education standards, with in-context instructional support embedded in the Teacher Edition for every lesson.

Evidence in the Classroom

“One of the most rewarding things I see is that all students excel,” Susan Warren, an Owensboro, Kentucky, pilot teacher, remarked when asked about PhD Science in her classroom. With this curriculum, students in more than 1,000 classrooms nationwide are building knowledge to explain compelling authentic phenomena. They make observations, ask questions, participate in discussions, design and conduct investigations, and practice modeling.
