At KnowAtom we believe science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) teaches students to think critically, work collaboratively, and develop higher order thinking skills useful in any career they choose.
We provide integrated curriculum, professional development, and materials aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards. Unlike traditional STEM resources, KnowAtom puts students into the role of scientists and engineers through hands-on problem-based learning.
We're already helping districts throughout the world teach STEM practices in elementary and middle schools, increasing student engagement and instructional effectiveness.
The result has been increasing schools' science proficiency by as much as 51 points in urban districts like Lynn, MA while others have increased their percentage of students scoring advanced by as much as 21 points the first year.
“It’s wonderful to have a resource like KnowAtom that is aligned to the standards, and is horizontal and vertically aligned. The consumables come to the teachers already gathered for each particular unit. It’s very timesaving and helpful. It supports our teachers." ~Joyce Mehaffey, former superintendent, Carlisle Public Schools
