Designed for an inspiring, high-impact K–12 learning experience, HMH Science Dimensions creates a supportive instructional path for teachers and a dynamic learning environment for students. Teachers guide students to learn through exploration, analysis, application, and explanation—in short, to think like scientists.
Developed by science thought leaders and education experts, HMH Science Dimensions gives teachers the tools they need to prepare students for the world that awaits them beyond the classroom.
Consistent standards guidance woven through all grade levels gives instructors the freedom to make science meaningful and enjoyable.
Activity-driven lessons put students in charge of their learning and empower teachers to guide the self-directed learning process and mastery of standards.
The goal of the NGSS is to prepare students to master the science of their time, equipping them for careers in STEM and engineering fields. 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), 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 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.
Flexible assessments keep students on track and ready for high-stakes exams.
Assessments include a rubric for open-ended questions, ongoing benchmarks, instant feedback, and technology-enhanced items, providing deep insights for teachers.
Ed: Your Friend in Learning, a new online learning system, offers easy program access and support to personalize the teaching and learning experience for every teacher and student.
