Phenomena-based Science Curriculum for California Educators
Show your students how to do science with STEMscopes! Our hands-on approach to learning engages students in real-world science to promote inquiry, excitement, and a passion for STEM. Built off the research-based 5E lesson model and fully aligned to California science standards, STEMscopes offers a digital platform, hands-on kits, and supplemental print, so you have everything you need to provide a meaningful learning experience.
Science Curriculum Built on the California NGSS
Built on a digital platform, enhanced by print, and brought to life through hands-on kits, STEMscopes CA NGSS 3D offers a comprehensive solution to address the three dimensions of the California NGSS. Our award-winning curriculum is designed around the 5E learning model, with the addition of Intervention and Acceleration, for an engaging, impactful approach to science instruction.
Student-driven inquiry of phenomena, real-world connections, and hands-on exploration provide students a meaningful learning experience, while teachers get the support they need through flexible resources and embedded professional development. Now available in Spanish for grades TK-12.
Standards-Aligned
100% alignment is the cornerstone of all we do. From NGSS to your unique state standards, we write STEM science curriculum from the ground up to match the rigor and depth of all objectives.
5E + IA Instructional Model
STEMscopes pedagogy is rooted in Bybee’s 5E model, Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences, and the flipped classroom where students learn by doing and experiencing rather than passively observing.
Engaging, Real-world Connections
Students learn best through hands-on experiences with experiments, exploration of ideas, interpretation of what they observe, and their ability to relate scientific concepts to the real world. STEMscopes Science™ creates a student-centric, STEM learning environment where students actually get to do science.
Professional Learning
We're here for you every step of the way. Our training programs offer:
- Hands-on use of instruction materials
- Practice using embedded, high-impact STEM instructional strategies
- On-demand trainings to full STEM certification
- Partner benefits with National Institute for STEM Education
Flexible and Equitable Approach to Teaching and Learning
We equip teachers with more than 25 resources per lesson to effectively differentiate, adapt to any classroom environment, and equitably engage all students in hands-on learning. You can assess or assign lessons digitally or print any element of a lesson for in-person instruction.
Research and Results
With a data backbone boasting more than 40 case studies with hundreds of thousands of students, STEMscopes Science™ has proven itself a leader in the field AND in driving student results while solidifying a real-world understanding of scientific phenomena.
Blended Learning
Our blended learning platform offers teachers flexible and modular ways to teach. Use our digital platform to assign activities directly to students, enhance literacy with our print, and make hands-on lab setup a snap with our intuitively packaged kits.
Technology And Data Integration
Teaching is hard enough. When it comes to technology and integrations, it needs to just work. STEMscopes Science™ easily integrates with your favorite LMS while making digital learning fun and accessible.

STEMscopes Science™ Raises Student Achievement
How do we know that our science curriculum works? The proof is in the data.
Our research studies show that using STEMscopes results in a higher number of students who meet or exceed science proficiency benchmarks on state assessments. Having access to high-quality K-12 curriculum not only helps improve U.S. students’ science proficiency levels, but addresses our country’s critical need for students to pursue careers in STEM.
