In elementary classrooms, science and reading instruction often go hand in hand. Students build their reading skills by exploring nonfiction texts, conducting research, and following written procedures—like steps in an experiment. At the same time, they develop science understanding through hands-on investigations, discussions, and by learning new vocabulary and concepts from the texts they read. This integrated approach helps students become stronger readers and critical thinkers while deepening their curiosity about the world around them.
Teachers in grades K-4 use Texas Wonders Reading Curriculum and SAAVAS science.
In middle school science classrooms, students engage in meaningful, hands-on learning using the SAAVAS Texas Science curriculum. This program is designed to align with Texas standards and provides students with regular opportunities to explore scientific concepts through lab investigations, interactive digital resources, and real-world problem solving. Through these lab experiences, students practice critical thinking, apply the scientific method, and develop a deeper understanding of how science connects to everyday life.
Our high school science courses use high-quality, research-based curriculum to provide students with rigorous and engaging learning experiences. Chemistry and Physics classes use the PASCO curriculum, which emphasizes hands-on, inquiry-based lab investigations supported by modern data-collection technology. This helps students apply scientific principles through real experiments and data analysis. Biology courses use the Biozone curriculum, which offers interactive, visually rich materials that promote critical thinking, scientific literacy, and a deep understanding of life science concepts. Together, these courses prepare students for future science learning and real-world applications.
