Amplify Science for grades 6–8 is a science curriculum that uses a variety of resources to help students learn about science through real-world experiences:

• Hands-on investigations: Students use physical materials to explore scientific concepts
• Digital tools: Students use digital tools and simulations to model and explore scientific concepts
• Literacy-rich activities: Students read, write, and argue like scientists
• Collaborative discussions: Students work together to make sense of real-world phenomena
• Benchmark assessments: Students are assessed three times per year on their understanding of grade-level concepts
• Science seminars: Students present their findings to the class and write a scientific argument

Amplify Science is based on research about teaching and learning. It's designed to be flexible and can work with a variety of technology environments. In schools with 1:1 device programs, students can use their devices daily.

Teachers can access a reporting tool to analyze student performance on unit assessments. They can also use rubrics, scoring guides, and examples of student responses to help assess students' understanding.
