Spiraled Curriculum
Each chapter begins with a What We Know review to activate prior learning, then introduces the Chapter Phenomenon. This phenomenon-centered approach gives purpose to every activity, while hands-on Explorations and SLAs engage curiosity and guide students to build evidence-based explanations.
All-In-One Resource
Combines textbook content and workbook activities for seamless digital integration with Canvas, Classlink, Clever, Schoology, Google Classroom, and more!
Evidence-Based Results
Our successful formula is built on the repetitive learning cycle of "small bites" of information, reinforcement activities, and frequent formative assessments to create an active, effective, and hands-on learning experience for students.
