NSTA Science Anchors

All we have is textbook companies trying to sell these enormous textbooks that cost a lot of money but which contain far more material than a teacher could possibly teach. They don't help the elementary school teacher at all.

The teachers all have their science experiments and projects that they like to do. But it's not a curriculum, it's just a few projects.

In K-5, the students are supposed to build a science foundation. In middle school, the are suppose to broaden it but in reality, they don't even have a foundation yet.

What they need is automated curriculum that engages the students, helps them get the big ideas, and connects the ideas to their own life
