Inspire Science Grade K to 5 is an integrated course covering life, earth, and physical science. The consumable student edition, automatically shipped each year of the adoption, is organized into four units with one to two modules per unit. Modules contain two to four lessons designed to inspire curiosity, investigation, and innovation.
Unleash student curiosity with real-world, Inspire Science Investigator articles. These informational text articles introduce students to real-world science and engineering and are packed with stunning imagery, dynamic graphs, tables, maps, and close reading questions that are sure to capture student interest and engage them in learning. Investigator articles are available in on-level, approaching-level (digital only), and Spanish on-level.
Build literacy skills and science content knowledge simultaneously with interesting, informational text. There is one leveled reader title for every module. All leveled readers are available in approaching, on-level, beyond-level, ELL, and on-level Spanish. Each reader includes text-dependent questions, vocabulary support, a fictional paired reading, and hands-on activities. The interactive versions of the leveled readers provide students with fun features like audio (including word-by-word highlighting), note-taking tools, and point-of-use vocabulary support.
Explore the phenomenal world within Inspire Science as students will uncover preconceptions with formative assessment science probes. Cross-curricular connections are embedded throughout with quick and easy references to specific literacy, math, and engineering skills being reinforced through the science investigations. Inspire Science is an interactive text that will engage students and encourages student-led learning. The fully interactive digital experience enhances the program allowing students to interact with the content.
Inspire Science is built on the proven 5E instructional framework and provides an in-depth, collaborative, evidence based, and project-based learning experience to help you put your science students on the path to career and college readiness.
The Inspire Science High School Series brings phenomena to the forefront of learning to engage and inspire students to investigate key science concepts through their three-dimensional learning experience.
This course provides an in-depth, collaborative, and project-based learning experiencing focused on the science of biology. The program covers ecology, cell biology, genetics, the history of biological diversity, the diversity of life, and the human body, as well as cross-curricular earth science topics.

I am an old-school film-based photographer, who has resorted to a SMART-phone to take pics.2 After a hiatus of many years, I have returned to playing table tennis.3 Knowing full well that this will never happen, I challenge any of you . . .
This bell was copper-plated ( quantitatively) by our Chemistry Education Research Group several years ago. Its ugliness adorns the front bench of the Chemistry lab at Crescent School. I use it to bring the class to order ... and when I want someone to carry my luggage .
I want to share my enthusiasm for Chemistry teaching with ChemEd X readers through opinion pieces and by providing tried-and-true laboratory activities and handouts. My students report a high level of engagement in the labs that they carry out: the work is recipe-free; there is always a successful learning outcome. If you need a specific PPT lesson or a lab or a handout, please get in touch. I love to share.
My intention with ChemEd X is not to tell you what to do. I simply want to provide ideas that will, with any luck, inspire you to develop your talents as a Chemistry educator, with an eye toward improving student-learning.
ChemEd X invites practitioners in the chemistry education community to share their experiences, knowledge and the resources they use in their classroom and laboratory. ChemEd X includes teachers and faculty from many diverse educational settings and who serve all students. We encourage contributions that demonstrate the particular opportunities found in teaching chemistry to diverse audiences from the entire breadth of learning environments.
The high quality of teaching at the University of Prince Edward Island has been recognized for the second time in two months. The Association of Atlantic Universities (AAU) has just selected Dr. Wendy Shilton, an Associate Professor in the UPEI Department of English, as the 2005 winner of the Anne Marie MacKinnon Instructional Leadership Award. This follows the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education announcement, in May, that named Chemistry Professor Brian Wagner as a national 3-M Award winner.
Dr. Shilton holds a PhD in English from the University of Toronto. She joined the faculty at UPEI in 1996. In addition to teaching courses in writing and English literature, she has spent the last seven years as coordinator, and champion, of the University Writing Council. The council works to ensure that "learning to write" and and#145;writing to learn" are top of mind for instructors and students in every department; from computer science, to music, to organic chemistry. She has also played a pivotal role in the establishment of an interdisciplinary Minor program in University Writing at UPEI.
"This award is a great honour, and it offers important validation of the efforts of many, not just one, in building a culture of critical literacy across campus," says Dr. Shilton. "UPEI has a long and unique history of commitment among Canadian universities toward developing the role of writing in the learning environment. This award recognizes the vision and dedication of that institutional leadership and promises lively, continued support for future innovation."
"UPEI is proud that the AAU has honoured Wendy Shilton with the Anne Marie MacKinnon Instructional Leadership Award," says Vianne Timmons, Vice-President of Academic Development. "It recognizes her professional and personal dedication to the highest standards of university teaching and celebrates her considerable ability to inspire both colleagues and students to share her vision."
Outreach to educators outside the UPEI campus has been an important part of Dr. Shilton's work. She has given numerous writing workshops to PEI high school instructors and has collaborated with the PEI Department of Education to foster a more seamless transition in language arts from high school to post-secondary programs. She is co-author of an interactive CD-ROM in basic writing skills for McGraw Hill, and she is currently working on a composition text, Cultures and Contexts: Writing for Intercultural Understanding, under negotiation with Nelson Canada. Her achievements will be recognized by the Association of Atlantic Universities at a ceremony in Newfoundland in September.
