Content is structured to help students think and communicate in scientific language. Lessons focus on answering “essential questions” and are organized using the 5E Instructional Model. Instruction builds conceptual understanding and develops scientific process skills, such as establishing hypotheses, collecting and analyzing data, drawing evidence-based conclusions, and applying concepts to new problems. Partnerships with the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Science Channel, and other publishers facilitate access to high-quality and engaging materials that connect science to real-world problems and events.
Techbooks aggregate a diverse set of interactive, multimedia tools in a single digital platform. The program’s user interface is intuitive and easy-to-use. Content for both teachers and students is explicitly organized in terms of the 5E model and is searchable by keyword for students and by keyword and TEKS. Click here for a 60-day evaluation.
