About the program

 

 

In every unit of Amplify Science, students take on the roles of scientists and engineers to figure out real-world phenomena. Students actively investigate compelling questions by finding and evaluating evidence, then developing convincing arguments. These engaging roles and phenomena bring science to life in your classroom—read more about them here.

 

 

 

 

The program is built from the ground up for new science standards and three-dimensional learning. The Next Generation Science Standards have raised the bar in science education. We set out to create a science program that educators can leverage to bring three-dimensional learning to life for their students. 

 

 

 

Amplify Science was developed by the science education experts at UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science and the digital learning team at Amplify. As the Hall’s first curriculum designed to address the new science standards, Amplify Science reflects state-of-the-art practices in science teaching and learning. Learn more about the Lawrence Hall of Science.

 

 

The program is backed by gold-standard research. Amplify Science is rooted in the Lawrence Hall of Science’s Do, Talk, Read, Write, Visualize model of learning. This research-based approach presents students with multiple modalities through which to explore the curriculum. Read more about our exciting efficacy research.

Engaging instruction

 

 

Hands-on learning is an essential part of Amplify Science and is integrated into every unit through hands-on investigations that are critical to achieving the unit’s learning goals. Learn more about these investigations here.

 

 

Each unit of Amplify Science K–5 includes five or six unique Student Books written by the Lawrence Hall of Science specifically for the program. The books in each unit include one book for approximately every five days of instruction and one reference book that students draw upon throughout the unit. Learn more about the Amplify Science Student Books.

 

 

 

In the Student Investigation Notebooks, students record data and observations, make drawings, and complete writing tasks. Each notebook also includes scaffolding supports for reading and writing activities.

 

 

 

 

Students have access to a variety of digital tools to enrich their learning throughout the Amplify Science K–5 program, including digital modeling tools, videos, images, and powerful digital simulations (beginning in grade 3). Learn more about digital simulations in Amplify Science.

 

 

 

 

Every unit of Amplify Science includes a comprehensive Teacher’s Guide containing lesson plans, differentiation strategies, and other instructional supports and resources at the unit, lesson, and individual activity levels. Begin your review by exploring the digital Teacher’s Guide.

 

 

 

 

 

Spending time on science should be about the science. Get there faster with Classroom Slides. Every lesson in Amplify Science K–5 comes with a downloadable and editable PowerPoint file to help guide teachers and their students through the lesson with engaging, clearly sequenced, and easy-to-follow images, videos, questions, and instructions.
