Science Modules

It's the Science of Doing.

Elevate Science Modules

See. Think. Wonder. Do.

Elevate Science Modules foster three-dimensional learning as students investigate and figure out phenomena. It's hands-on, experiential science that raises questions and fosters discourse. Each module features an interactive journey in the form of a science Quest. The Quest storyline helps drive students' exploration of real-world phenomena.

Students are presented with a scenario and a challenge to solve.

Each module features an NBC Learn video to launch a science Quest.

Quest Check-ins integrate SEPs, CCCs, and DCIs to ensure students' successful completion of the Quest through hands-on, inquiry-based experiences.

Structure and Properties of Matter

This module introduces the structure and properties of matter. Students develop models to describe matter and build simple molecules. They investigate how thermal energy can change matter and use different properties of matter to solve an engineering challenge. Topics include "An Introduction to Matter" and "Solids, Liquids and Gases." This module covers the Performance Expectations MS-PS1-1; MS-PS1-2; MS-PS1-4.
