Mcgraw Hill Texas Science
Secondary students tackle science with McGraw-Hill using a blend of structured print and optional digital tools. Their learning is anchored in interactive textbooks and notebooks, where the 5E instructional model and Cornell-style note-taking foster active exploration and critical thinking. Reading Essentials sections within these materials help students navigate complex topics through guided annotation and comprehension strategies. Meanwhile, optional digital platforms offer simulations, quizzes, and interactive content—though many schools choose to supplement or even bypass them, relying instead on the printed resources for day-to-day learning and accessibility.

Lowman education
Lowman education
In Lowman Education’s middle school social studies, students follow a spiraled structure every school day: they begin with a quick warm-up to activate prior knowledge, dive into a focused lesson featuring source analysis and group discussions, practice new concepts through an assignment, and wrap up with an exit ticket to reflect on learning. These routines build consistency, reinforce understanding, and keep students on track—all while helping teachers streamline their planning.
