STEM Curriculum Designed for Ohio Schools

Watch Intro Video

STEMscopes Ohio was built to align with Ohio’s Learning Standards and Model Curriculum for Science. Through the research-based 5E + IA learning model, your students explore scientific concepts through dynamic phenomena found in everyday life.

THE FUTURE OF STEM EDUCATION IS A STEMscopes CLASSROOM

With STEMscopes Ohio, your students actually do science—instead of simply reading about it. We take a constructivist approach where students investigate real‑world phenomena through hands‑on, collaborative experiences, while you receive embedded support and the flexibility to teach in whatever style you like.

HOW STEMscopes IS BUILT

Rooted in the Scientifically Proven 5E Model PLUS Intervention and Acceleration.

STEMscopes pedagogy has its roots in Bybee’s 5E model, Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences, and the back‑flipped classroom wherein students learn by doing and experiencing rather than passively observing.

RESEARCH

STEMscopes case studies are longitudinal in nature and focus on real classrooms. Leveraging thousands of schools in a district at once, time and time again, STEMscopes has demonstrated its ability to improve student academic outcomes and dramatically boost performance of ELL students and other subpopulation groups.

WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING

“Being a first-year teacher, I love having everything you need at the access of your computer to complete a lesson plan. From vocabulary, to video with worksheets in not only English, but also in Spanish, as well as extended activities. I love having the hands-on components that include a supply list as well as a quick how-to video on those hands on activities.”

Amber Moenning Teacher

Crockett Elementary, Wichita Falls ISD, Texas

“STEMscopes allows me to focus on students doing science, not just reading about science. The annual student subscription is reasonable and suggests materials that are inexpensive and easy to find, making hands-on science affordable for a small school with a limited science budget.”

Angelin Petit Middle School Science Teacher

Sacred Heart Catholic School, Archdiocese of St. Paul & Minneapolis, Minnesota

“We appreciate the number of lessons and activities that are available in STEMscopes and the flexible ways in which they can be used,” said Weber. “What’s most attractive to our teachers is that they have the ability to use STEMscopes as they see fit, so they can continue to deliver the highest quality instruction and help every learner achieve at the highest levels.”

Chris Weber, Ed.D Director of STEM

Irvine USD, California

“When a new curriculum gets adopted, teachers worry that they’ll need a lot of professional development and that they’ll have to spend hours planning to implement it. They didn’t do that with STEMscopes. They jumped in really quickly. STEMscopes is very intuitive and simple to use.”

Cyndi Ganfield Principal

Aumsville Elementary, Cascade School District, Oregon

“Because we’ve been using STEMscopes for a few years now, our students are better prepared in science at each subsequent grade level. Our middle school teachers say that students are arriving with a stronger foundation in science than they did a few years ago. They also have a better understanding of what’s expected of them, which is moving the learning process forward much quicker.”

Don E. Cowart II Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment

Coventry Public Schools, Rhode Island

“STEMscopes has benefited my students and me tremendously. Its practice has encouraged my students to further investigate into the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as a whole. Its curriculum and experiments/activities are readily accessible, easy to use, and educationally comprehensive. I couldn’t be happier with STEMscopes!”

Elizabeth Dennis Fifth Grade Teacher

Centro Mater East II, Miami Dade County, Florida

“STEMscopes takes the guesswork out of teaching the NGSS. While many resources claim to be NGSS-aligned, they rely heavily on reading and writing about science rather than doing science. STEMscopes is the only resource I’ve seen that’s aligned to meet all of the Next Generation Science Standards. It supports our vision for student-centered learning and follows all the best practices we want to see in our science classrooms.”

Jodi Marchesso STEM Curriculum Coach

Pasadena USD, California

“STEMscopes is great. Until we began using STEMscopes, students didn’t understand that science is everywhere. In kindergarten through fourth grade, they thought science was a book. They didn’t see science as being connected to the real world, so they thought that when they left school they’d never use it again. Now they realize science is everyday life.”

Karen Silensky Fifth Grade Teacher

Horizon Elementary, Broward County Public Schools, Florida
