The approach to learning in Twig Science through the state standards represents a shift away from traditional science instruction to multimodal, three-dimensional practices that better represent how science and engineering are performed in the 21st century, with students constructing models, engaging in academic arguments, and taking part in video and digital investigations, as well as doing hands-on lab work. “It keeps the students excited about learning something new.
“Twig Science is my pixie dust,” said Julie, a 4th grade teacher. Twig Science is aligned to each state’s academic standards for science (OAS-Science and NVACSS) and transforms the standards into immersive, investigative journeys in which students take on real-life STEAM roles-from astronomers and ecologists to roller-coaster designers-to make sense of local and national phenomena and design, build, and test solutions to engineering challenges. (Santa Cruz, Calif.) FebruThe Oklahoma and Nevada Departments of Education have adopted Twig Science, a complete Pre-K–6 curriculum from leading education multimedia company Twig Education, making it available for purchase statewide. Featuring three-dimensional, investigation-driven adventures exploring real-world and local phenomena, the Pre-K–6 program encourages students to take on STEAM roles and become creative problem-solvers.
