Is your district considering purchasing a new science curriculum aligned to the NGSS? Before you do, take a look at Learning List’s review of McGraw Hill’s Inspire Science.
McGraw Hill’s Inspire Science is a comprehensive science program for grades K-8, focused on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The program is phenomena-driven and designed to support three-dimensional learning by focusing on inspiring curiosity, investigation, and problem-solving. The materials are available in print and digital formats. The digital materials are well-organized and easily accessible on the digital platform.
Based in real-world phenomena, three-dimensional learning experiences integrate Cross-Cutting Concepts (CCCs), Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs), and Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs), effectively supporting the intent of the Next Generation Science Standards. Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs) develop across grade levels through the repetition and increasing complexity of concepts and topics year to year.
The materials include numerous supports for English Learners. Materials for K-5 are available in English and Spanish. Materials in grades K-8 include multiple levels of support for multilingual students, such as glossaries that are translated into multiple languages, embedded dictionaries in English and Spanish, and instructional supports and suggestions based on the student’s level of English proficiency.
