#KnowledgeMatters
The Knowledge Matters Campaign celebrates PhD Science® as a high-quality science curriculum for its inclusion of reading and development of other skills as students build enduring knowledge in science.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING KNOWLEDGE
Through regular, high-quality science instruction, students improve their vocabulary, reading, writing, and speaking and listening skills as they support their claims through evidence and reasoning.
See what was shared about Levels 3–5 classrooms using PhD Science.
“I have been very impressed with their writing through the years. It just seems like every group we get, they’re just better writers.”
“The biggest difference is the application. It’s really no memorization. They have to have the knowledge.”
“When they take the assessment, they can make that cognitive lift and apply the science information that they’ve learned in a different setting.”
“I did not want teachers having to go out and search for things. I did not want them to have to go and pull video clips from somewhere else.”
Science knowledge ignites literacy and learning. Knowledge about the world around them through real-world phenomena fuels a child’s critical thinking skills and curiosity. We share stories from schools that use knowledge-building curricula from the earliest grades to inspiring effect.
