STEMscopes is a comprehensive, vertically-aligned, online science curriculum focused on the development of STEM skills (i.e., Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) while addressing 100% of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) science standards for grades K-12. Student materials are available in downloadable PDFs and in consumable texts. Learning List has reviewed the full line of K-12 STEMscopes materials, as well as the pre-K Early Explorer material.

Content is organized using the 5E instructional model: (1) Engage, (2) Explore, (3) Explain, (4) Elaborate, and (5) Evaluate. Writing activities are embedded throughout the curriculum, and instruction includes explicit connections to STEM subjects as well as careers in STEM fields. STEMscopes is a highly visual program that supports English language learners and struggling readers. Content is continually updated to reflect current science knowledge, best practices, and user-requested components (there is no charge for updates).

Embedded videos provide teachers with on-time guidance in implementing hands-on investigations and activities. The STEMscopes website includes alignment resources as well as a “Teacher Toolbox” to support planning across grade levels.
