Highly flexible curriculum builds meaningful learning experiences inspiring students to learn science by doing science
PARAMUS, N.J., March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Savvas Learning Company, a next-generation K-12 learning solutions leader, is excited to introduce Experience Science, a brand-new program for grades K-8 that brings science concepts to life through real-world phenomena and hands-on explorations, empowering students to learn science by doing science.
Experience Science is designed to support educators of all teaching experience levels with an easy-to-teach curriculum.
Experience Science offers a highly flexible, standards-aligned curriculum with interactive resources that make science engaging and accessible for all learners. The program also makes teaching science easier, with robust planning support and grab-and-go materials that enable teachers to fit science instruction into their day. The streamlined curriculum, which was developed in collaboration with educators, is adaptable to any classroom setting and offers math and literacy skills support and differentiated instruction so all learners can be successful.
“With schools placing greater focus on math and literacy instruction in order to address students’ learning gaps, teachers have even less time to prepare and teach science lessons. That’s why Experience Science is made for teachers as much as it is for students,” said Bethlam Forsa, CEO of Savvas Learning Company. “Experience Science is designed to support educators of all teaching experience levels with an easy-to-teach curriculum, combined with instructional resources that bolster teachers’ own science knowledge, so every teacher can teach science with confidence.”
Experience Science seamlessly integrates three-dimensional learning, which involves investigation, critical thinking, and reasoning, within the widely used 5E (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate) model of instruction through dynamic, small-group explorations. Student-centered, hands-on investigations enable students to explore concepts deeply and connect real-world phenomena to their own lives, making every inquiry-based learning experience an opportunity for discovery, collaboration, and growth. The curriculum’s comprehensive and fast-track teaching plans offer ease of implementation while providing full coverage and assessment of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
Delivered on the award-winning Savvas Realize learning management system, Experience Science gives teachers the flexibility they need to make learning experiences engaging and personalized for every student with interactive digital content as well as print resources. Some exciting features of the new Experience Science program include:
Built-In Teacher Support that offers time-saving options for lesson planning, including customizable presentations, content background, prep videos, quick demonstration activities and, for K-5 teachers, “3-step prep” instructions that make every hands-on experience easy to manage.Dynamic Interactivities that enable students to click, engage, and learn with a variety of purposeful, standards-based digital resources, such as virtual labs, videos, games, and more, along with a print and digital Student Activity Companion containing reading passages and activity sheets for every learning experience.Multilingual and Multimodal Support that addresses multiple levels of language proficiency and guidance for linguistic accommodations — including bilingual station and vocabulary cards — along with rich, multisensory content to engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners.
Experience Science provides engaging student-centered activities tied to real world experiences that build problem-solving skills, strengthen STEM connections, and prepare students for future STEM careers.
High-Quality Science Instruction with Cross-Curricular Connections
Experience Science provides a variety of cross-content explorations that support literacy and math instruction for grades K-8, as well as social studies topics for grades K-5 — all while teaching students science concepts. These integrated, cross-curricular connections help teachers cover more academic standards in less time, a benefit appreciated by Brian Droege, a fourth-grade teacher at the Northwest Independent School District in Texas.
“One of my favorite things about Experience Science is having resources, like the topic readers, that connect the disciplines that we’re talking about in the classroom,” Droege said. “Teaching a non-fiction language arts lesson — using a science text that directly connects to a science lesson — is a great opportunity to teach across disciplines, knowing that the skills students are working on in one subject can be applied to another. With Experience Science, there’s a lot of flexibility built into how materials can be presented.”
