Unlocking the Potential of All Students for Over 20 Years

Don’t Just Meet the New Standards for K–8: Immerse Students in Phenomena-Based 3-Dimensional Instruction

Hands down, research tells us that inquiry-based instruction is best for your students. Choose instruction that has been proven to improve student performance and test scores not only in science, but also in reading and math. Programs from the Smithsonian have everything you need to engage your students in inquiry-based, active, hands-on investigation rooted in real-world phenomena.
