nyWhere Learning System: Curriculum, Social Sciences


U.S. History II
The A+LS™ Social Sciences curriculum develops the facet of students’ knowledge that helps them understand who they are, where their ancestors came from, how they got where they are, and why current and past events are important to them. Contained in this group are 15 titles for grades 1–12 that fully correlate to major mastery standards, including the National Council for Social Studies Standards.

Social Sciences is a subject area that promotes the use of both cooperative and exploratory learning. The detailed maps and charts dynamically illustrate key concepts. Additionally, these maps and diagrams can be printed for use in discussion and as take–home study guides for the students.

The Social Science I–III titles have a special, animated character named Globert who personally guides younger students through the A+LS lesson content and teaches them about the world and the people around them.
