Curriculum Alignment
Science Bits’ units and activities can be arranged in the way you decide to cover the complete sequence of any middle school science curriculum.
When you adopt Science Bits, our team provides free curriculum alignment services to configure repertories aligned with your curriculum or lesson plan. This way, when teachers start working with Science Bits they find that their desired learning sequence is already prepared in their virtual library.
Then, teachers can modify the repertory by adding or discarding units, changing the order, etc. They can also clone sequences and make different versions for different groups of students, in order to suit the students' diverse levels and backgrounds.
