Springdale Elementary Science will anchor instruction in the standards while utilizing a diverse range of resources for the upcoming school year including the district's own Springdale Science Units, and explore the free open source OpenSciEd, and Mystery Science (which may be purchased by buildings for school-wide access or offers free trials).
UPDATED: ALL SPS Elementary schools have access to a free trial of Mystery Science for the remainer of the 2025-2026 school year.
Mystery Science is a paid K-5 online science curriculum that uses engaging videos, hands-on activities, and discussions to foster curiosity and align with the NGSS, providing "open-and-go" lessons for teachers.
