Aha!Science

Foundational Science for Middle School Students

Aha!Science Foundations for Middle School provides teachers with an effective, Web-delivered science resource for middle school students who are working below grade level, or who need a review of foundational concepts to prepare for on-grade-level learning.

  • Engages and motivates students to review and relearn important science concepts – helping them to experience success and reigniting their interest.
  • Science comes alive through interactive, animated Instruction Modules, Lessons, Games, online Journals, and Quizzes, and through hands-on Activities – with integration of Science as Inquiry across all content.

Motivating middle schoolers
For middle school students who are uncomfortable with science concepts, and who struggle with science vocabulary, Aha!Science re-engages and re-ignites their natural curiosity through real-world application of science concepts – making it relevant and building their confidence to want to explore more.

Flexible and teacher-directed
Teachers are fully in charge of when and how they use these resources, whether for whole class instruction to reteach science concepts before moving forward, or for small groups or individual students. Teachers can preview all content and sequence material any way that meets their students’ needs. They can also easily and quickly integrate their own proven lessons, providing unlimited opportunities to individualize instruction.

Research-based
Aha!Science incorporates current research into how students learn with digital content to create the most effective learning experiences for a diverse range of students. Timely, positive and corrective feedback, and constructive interactivity motivate students to want to engage with science. They grasp the how and why of what they are learning, and understand how to apply scientific concepts.

Engages with hands-on learning
Teacher-led, offline activities and experiments give students opportunities to apply their science knowledge. The ready-to-go hands-on activities create stronger connections between the science concepts and the scientific method, and include step-by-step instructions for teachers, grading rubrics, student worksheets, and lists of easyto- find materials.

Journaling provides insight
Unique online journaling in Aha!Science enables students to apply and analyze through scientific writing what they learned in the hands-on activities. Teachers may also create their own Journal assignments through Aha!Science to further develop students’ conceptual thinking and their understanding of the scientific method, so critical to success in higher-level science.

Students apply their learning
Games and Simulations give students opportunities to apply the scientific method through practice in engaging, real-world settings.
