HMH Science Dimensions’ three-dimensional learning approach arms students with the tools and habits of mind needed to apply scientific reasoning and solve STEM problems relevant to everyday life.
Each lesson opens by sparking curiosity with Can You Explain It? questions. This sets the stage for problem-solving investigations in which students state claims, gather evidence, and explain through reasoning.
Using the Interactive Worktexts (K–8 Chemistry, and Physics), students collect evidence, reflect in writing, discuss their findings, and explain their results—advancing both their literacy skills and their understanding of science concepts.
Features such as Engineer It! are integrated throughout lessons to elevate engineering design to the same level as science literacy, while motivating career profiles get students thinking about STEM opportunities.
With new demands for science literacy in the workplace, teachers are preparing today’s students to be tomorrow’s innovators. HMH Science Dimensions’ built-in support and unique lesson structure enables students to learn through self-directed exploration, analysis, application, and explanation—just like scientists.
Interrelated 3D Learning Objectives generated from the Science and Engineering Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Disciplinary Core Ideas ensure that each lesson ties to the standards.
With in-text labeling to provide insight into how the standards connect between grades, teachers are always a step ahead. An online Trace Tool offers at-a-glance support for mapping out an instructional path.
