Differences between Elevate Science and Interactive Science
- New Science Standards Alignment: The new science standards emphasize the practice of scientific inquiry. Elevate Science helps shift the cognitive load from guided inquiry to student-initiated experiences. Explicit strategies vary the guidance based on student needs.
- Phenomena-based learning: Exploration is the heart of science. The Quest problem-based activity anchors each topic. Homeschool students “figure out” the problem’s solution as they navigate the topic’s lessons. It’s real science with engaging phenomena. Homeschool students apply their knowledge and skills to master the new science
- STEM Education: Connects Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in every topic, at every grade. STEM activities fuel innovation, problem solving, collaboration, and reasoning—skills for future careers.
- Literacy & Math Integration: Raise the bar on ELD/Literacy and Mathematics Standards. Elevate Science helps homeschool students think about, read about, write about, and talk about science. By integrating phenomena with these crucial skills, you’ll ‘elevate’ results in all disciplines.
- Assessment:
- Lesson Checks: Formative assessment in every lesson helps you monitor and support your students progress.
- End-of-topic: Summative assessment at the end of each topic helps to refine teaching practices.
- Evidence-based: Put homeschool students on the path to success with practice aligned towards demonstrating their mastery of science concepts
- Performance based: End-of-topic performance assessments allow homeschool students to demonstrate mastery of the new science standards.
- Differentiation: Elevate Science helps homeschool instructors teach science with confidence.
