Savvas Learning Grade 1

Elevate Science will help your students take their science education to the next level! This K-8 program is built around active, student-initiated experiences. Students work to figure out solutions to problems posed in thematic lessons. Assessment is built into the curriculum through lesson checks plus end-of-topic assessments that help students demonstrate mastery of science topics.

The colorful text is organized around storylines called "Quests" which feature check-ins and sections that ask students to synthesize and present their findings. A variety of labs help students apply what they've learned, encourage them to ask questions, learn about real-world design challenges, and apply critical thinking skills to the topics they're learning about.

This secular curriculum includes a variety of sideboxes and features that help kids make connections between science and literacy/math/reading and writing, learn about the engineering design process, apply critical thinking skills, learn about STEM careers, and use both hands-on experiments and virtual labs. Icons in the text point out where there are available video, interactive activities, games, documents, or assessments to access online using the Savvas Realize platform.

Savvas Realize online components include a digital teacher's guide with select answers overlaid, sidebar helps, reduced-size student pages and other helpful sections commonly found in print teacher's guides; answer keys, and printable worksheets. Student resources include a student e-text of the textbook where you can simply click on assignments and multimedia, leveled reader e-texts, assessments, and more.

This Grade 1 curriculum covers earth, life, and physical science, specifically sound, light, sky and earth, weather and seasons, living things, and parents and offspring.
