Pilot PhD Science

PhD Science - Students with hand crank light

Watch as your classroom transforms into a hands-on, student-led environment where students explore real-world phenomena. PhD Science® inspires students to wonder about the world and empowers them to make sense of it. Through a knowledge-building approach, students develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills that extend beyond the science classroom.
