A Taste of the Future!

What We’re Planning for the Fall…

Virtual Workshops

We got resoundingly positive reactions to our “Virtual NSTA” this spring, so we’ll be offering more virtual events as school starts up again in the fall and through out the school year.

This is a chance to explore Science Companion from the comfort of your own computer… Stay tuned for the schedule.

Science Companion Goes High Tech!

In the next year, we’ll be digitizing all of our print materials for you. What does this mean for you?  The teaching tools you need in a portable and navigable format.

Our Teacher Lesson Manuals, for example, will include hot links to all of the support materials you need, like:

  • Teacher Directions
  • Teacher Background Information
  • Black Line Masters
  • Assessment Forms
  • Family Links
  • And More!

Everything you need will be all included in one PDF package.

When you open the file, click on the blue links to explore how you can access different resources you need.
