Digital Curriculum

Science programs have historically provided companion technology, such as an online student edition, to support a textbook. However, while today's online books provide 24/7 access to textbook content, they do not provide the necessary online learning environment. When a student goes online to learn science, not to read science, a digital lesson should be designed and look different from a lesson in a book.

Multi-modal Learning

ScienceFusion is a comprehensive print and digital curriculum solution that provides multi-modal options for teachers to engage students in exciting, investigation-based learning. The effective, research-based program is easy to implement and fun—both to teach and use.

Teaching with Technology

ScienceFusion offers teachers 24/7 access to targeted, research-proven resources, giving you the flexibility to pick and choose the right resources to meet your classroom needs.

NSTA SciLinks

Found at point-of-use in each unit to extend and expand your students’ understanding of unit concepts and skills. These resources are vetted by scientific experts at NSTA, so you can be assured they are exemplary resources and safe surfing for students.

Video-based Projects

These inquiry-based projects consist of a video, teacher support pages, and student activity worksheets. There are 20 included in all modules (1–2 per module)—focusing on STEM, Ecology, and Biotechnology—available online at point-of-use or on the Teaching Resources DVD. They are also referenced at point-of-use on the Unit Planning pages in the Teacher Edition.
