nyWhere Learning System: Curriculum, Science

The A+LS Science curriculum content consists of a sequence of titles that match content suggested by the National Science Education Standards (NSES) and the Benchmarks for Science. Because of its flexibility, the Science content is easily integrated into an educator's current curriculum structure. The A+LS Science titles are excellent for use in reinforcing key concepts that are being taught in the classroom. The curriculum also lends itself to a cooperative learning environment where the content can be screen-projected for viewing by small groups or the entire classroom.

Each of the Sciences I–VIII titles takes students through the units of Physical Science, Life Science, Earth Science, Technology, and Evaluation. The secondary level titles are rich in graphics and an excellent foundation and reinforcement of most nationally required science objectives. The personalized learning program allows teachers to create an environment of excitement and exploration. Used in a laboratory setting, students can move at their own pace through the Study Guides, Practice Tests, Mastery Tests, and Essays in order to master each concept.
