Quick Tips to Get Started with Inspire Science

Welcome

Differentiation and EL

Inspire Science incorporates the research-based Universal Design Learning Principles to provide educational practices that support multiple means of engagement, representation, action, and expression to ensure that all students have access to rigorous curriculum. 

Rooted in learning sciences research, Inspire Science applies the best instructional practices for teaching EL students. Each module and lesson has scaffolded activities designed to meet the English Language Development Standards and offers students of any level of English language proficiency the opportunity to engage in academically challenging science and engineering content.

Assessment

Inspire Science includes a variety of assessment options to support teachers with differentiation strategies and support students on their journey to mastery of the Performance Expectations. 

Hands-On Inquiry

Inspire Science’s hands-on activities are designed to engage students, inspire investigation, and motivate deeper thinking about core science concepts – without creating a logistical burden for you.

Formative Assessment

One of the most effective ways to support conceptual learning is through formative assessment. 

Science probes present a real-world phenomenon or a core concept to promote student thinking and discussion, revealing commonly-held preconceptions and initial ideas that student bring to their learning.

Instructional 5E Support

The 5E Instructional Model provides a proven, research-driven lesson flow with the flexibility to adjust as needed for your classroom needs.

Phenomena

Inspire your students’ curiosity with real-world phenomena that creates the desire to ask questions and investigate the world around them. Uncover student preconceptions and allow them to see how their thinking changes as they learn throughout the lesson. Your students will get excited about what they will be learning and set goals for the skills they will develop.

STEM Projects

Build excitement and get students curious about what they will be learning with STEM Project that introduces the Science or Engineering Challenge then challenges students the task of designing a solution.
