HMH Into Science® K–5
A Science Curriculum Designed for the NGSS
Inspire K–5 students to think like scientists with phenomenon-driven, hands-on activities.
HMH Into Science® and HMH ¡Arriba las Ciencias!™ support student-centered learning during teachers' dedicated science instruction, or integrated into ELA time.
The NGSS-designed science curriculum provides a coherent, phenomenon-driven storyline; delivers three-dimensional learning; and incorporates the Claims, Evidence, and Reasoning model.
The curriculum allows educators to adapt instruction to a core or blended classroom, or integrate science into ELA.
Embedded on-demand program training and week-by-week planning guidance build teacher confidence in just 30 days, putting them on a clear pathway to success.
Take a look at all the ways our hands-on science program benefits students and teachers.
WHOLE-STUDENT LEARNING
Hands-on activities include embedded social and emotional learning. Open-ended simulations allow students to use technology, like a real scientist in the field.
LEVELED READERS
Lesson-aligned, “factual fiction” readers support phenomenon-based activities and ask students to make claims, gather evidence, and apply reasoning.
ASSESSMENT
Students have many opportunities to show what they've learned on assessments in a wide range of formats, including interactive digital quizzes, end-of-unit tests, and hands-on performance tasks.
HANDS-ON LEARNING
Active Learning Engages Students
The curriculum uses the effective 5E lesson design, which encourages students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate the science, in hands-on and digital environments.
EMBEDDED ASSESSMENT
Assessments That Support Higher-Level Thinking
Embedded formative and summative assessments gauge student progress, identify where support may be needed, determine if students are making sense of phenomena, and provide modified options.
