Elementary Science Education for the 21^st Century

Science and technology frameworks across the nation have been called “a mile wide” by some and “unreasonable” by others. Today’s educator is under extraordinary pressure to present a range of complex scientific information in a way that authentically engages students and gains points on standardized testing.

KnowAtom is a Massachusetts-based science education organization that helps elementary schools meet this challenge. We provide inquiry-based, hands-on science curriculum for Grades K through 6, aligned specifically to your state’s standards.

The KnowAtom approach saves teacher time and money with fully prepped student materials, background material for educators, leveled student readers, parent e-mails and assessments. With each unit, KnowAtom infuses the skills needed in the 21^st century and takes into account demands of a busy classroom. We’ve assembled all the resources you need to conduct an inquiry-based science class that is memorable and relevant to students’ lives and testing.

Watch KnowAtom’s Third Grade Curriculum in Action:

This curriculum is uniquely designed to spiral unit-to-unit and year-to-year so students get a layer of understanding of all the frameworks and exposure to multiple contexts as the years progress. KnowAtom material reinforces and builds from year to year with fresh inquiry activities. This hands-on component also becomes more advanced as students mature within the year and from grade-to-grade. Students go from basic inquiry at the beginning of third grade to designing their own experiments in grade 5.

Schools who have worked with KnowAtom are already seeing negative trends reverse and excited students who look forward to each science class. KnowAtom has made demanding frameworks manageable and fun to teach with all the supplies and tools needed to achieve performance without teaching to a test. We hope we can add to your school’s success.
