Smithsonian Science for the Classroom

 

The Smithsonian Science for the Classroom program, which is setting the standard for 3-D learning and 3-D assessment, is a fully integrated STEM curriculum developed by the Smithsonian Science Education Center. It is designed to engage students in phenomenon- and problem-driven learning through coherent storylines, inspire teachers with point-of-use support, and connect students firsthand to the world around them. It was developed in consultation with teachers and content experts and field tested in a range of schools with diverse populations. It draws on the latest findings and best practices from education research with proven results.
