- Unpack the unique opportunities and challenges that administrators face in the elementary grades
- Demonstrate how modern instructional practices can enrich science units, such as leading with anchor phenomenon that introduces students to a mysterious real-world occurrence
- Encourage student’s natural curiosity and get them excited to make more real-world connections throughout a science unit, and then extend their learning
- Keep it real with engaging, flexible lessons that only need a few minutes of prep, so any educator can teach science
Together, Discovery Education and Mystery Science offer a variety of curriculum options to empower educators with time and energy to focus on what matters most.
