Realize offers options and opportunities to increase engagement and achievement for every student.

Program-level flexibility is always available with Pearson Realize.

Customizable Curriculum. Teachers can reorder the table of contents, upload files and media, add links, and create custom lessons and assessments.

Flexible Class Management Tools. Teachers can edit any topic or lesson to add their own files (worksheets, assessments, rubrics), add links to websites, leave notes, or link out to files on Google Drive.

Student Progress Data. Teachers can instantly access student and class data that show standards mastery on assessments, overall progress, and the length of time students take on assessments, and assignments.

Restless Curiosity Starts Here!

HOW do these sailors use energy and machines to move boats faster in a race?

Every Topic. Every Lesson. Every Day.

Phenomena-Based Inquiry

Welcome to Elevate Science ©2019 where students will: • Make sense of phenomena • Design solutions to real-world problems • Practice scientific inquiry

2 3

Students complete the QUEST by providing solutions to the original challenge.

Go on a QUEST! Elevate Science has at its core a problem-based Quest - a storyline of instruction made up of a series of interconnected labs and activities. As students move through a topic, they apply what they’ve learned. Students engage in science and engineering opportunities while interacting with hands-on labs, videos, and interactivities.

QUEST Kickoff introduces the

anchoring phenomena

Learning Progressions tied to hands-on investigations.

Each lesson connects core ideas and practices to the overarching storyline.

• Engages students in phenomena • Builds a foundational, common experience • Connects core ideas with the SEPs

Virtual Labs • Quick, accessible, multi-variable digital investigations • Provides instant feedback for student investigators • Builds student skills for evidence gathering and critical thinking

• Explores the topic’s core ideas • Helps students construct knowledge while connecting concepts • Supports evidence gathering as students move along the Quest

Activate, Innovate, Motivate Students engage in hands-on, minds-on inquiry at every step of instruction. For every Topic across grade level, the flow of inquiry starts with the Topic Opener phenomena:

What would make a card jump?How can you observe evidence to draw conclusions that energy is transformed?

What is work?How can you construct an argument that relates the change in an objects energy to work?

Mass,Velocity, and Kinetic EnergyHow can you use a skateboard to model how a constant kinetic energy changes velocity when mass changes?

Making a Flashlight ShineWhat are some different types of energy?Law of Conservation of EnergyHow does the changing kinetic energy of a bouncing ball support the law of conservation of energy?

uDemonstrate • Summative Performance-Based Assessment opportunity at topic close • Makes use of Claim Evidence Reasoning Framework • Reflects outcome of three- dimensional learning

3, 2, 1, Liftoff!How can you design and build a model that explains the relationship between potential and kinetic energy in a rocket system?

Interactivities• Force and Energy• Racing for Kinetic Energy• Types of Energy• Energy Transfer

Videos• Get Moving with Energy• Understanding Machines

(Just a thought for now since these are not actually a 1, 2, 3 format in the program) For the labs page (where we pulled the pages out) the footprints don’t do it. I suspect they should go: Start Here - for uConnectLesson Level Inquiry - for uInvestigateLesson Level Options - for Virtual Labs/Videos/Inter-activitiesTopic Close - for uDemonstrate

I need to rewrite the Virtual Lab copy on this spread as it is reused on the digital page

Dotted lines behind the copy looks odd/distracting

RESTLESS CURIOSITY? Bring on the challenge! • Models the engineering and design process • Develops critical thinking and communication skills • Encourages creativity and collaboration

Engineering Design Notebook Students will use this write-in resources to record solutions to the uEngineer It! Design Challenge.

Engineer, Design, Invent The integration of engineering design to next gen standards showcases just how important it is for in solving real-world societal and environmental problems.

Accept the Challenge!Look for the uEngineer It! Design Challenge that moves students through the Engineering Design process, from problem identification, to proposed design solution, to testing design improvements, and finally communicating the problem resolution.

littleBits activities further energize STEM/STEAM innovation and inventiveness.

CLASSROOM MATERIALS KITS Individual grade-level Classroom Materials Kits provide the supplies necessary to do the hands-on investigations in Elevate Science. The kits include consumable and non consumable materials for all the program’s labs and activities in clearly marked bags.

UENGINEER IT MAKER CRATES Create your own makerspace! Let students channel their “inventor”skills with materials that support new Engineering Design Standards. Tips are provided for starting your own makerspace, creating Design Challenges, and working in small-groups.

STEM INVENTION TOOLKITS Make interactive devices, build contraptions, and create inventions! STEM Invention Kits contain programmable electronic modules from our partner littleBits that snap together to create an endless array of inventions.

SAFETY KITS Promote good laboratory practices with essential safety equipment for your classroom. Kits includes safety goggles and cleaning solutions.

LABWARE KITS Labware Kits offer incredible value and convenience. Each kit provides frequently used laboratory science equipment and assorted measuring tools for hands-on learning.

Hands-on science. It’s in the bag! Elevate Science offers kits to make hands-on science easy, manageable, and affordable.

Interactivities

• Point-of-use digital activities allow students to tinker/dig deeper with new ideas and concepts• Enables a digital kinesthetic experience for active learning• Showcases student progression across topics and lessons

NBC Learn Videos • Brings concepts and careers to life with videos from NBC Learn • Connect students’ learning experiences with scientists and engineers in the field • Guide for teachers in effective implementation of “doing science” in the classroom

Think outside the book!

Google Expeditions Google Expeditions provide an immersive, interactive experience that takes students out of the classroom and into the world of virtual reality.

Virtual Labs • Quick, accessible, multi-variable digital investigations• Provides instant feedback for student investigators• Builds student skills for evidence gathering and critical thinking

Today’s students are active in more than one modality, so we’ve developed a flexible, customizable, and interactive learning platform - Pearsonrealize.com – to provide a place for students to DO THE SCIENCE in the digital space.

Readiness Assessments:Start the topic off right with short Topic Launch assessments to see what your students already know.

Show what you know Elevate Science offers multi-modal three-dimensional assessments for students to apply learning and demonstrate success. Throughout the program, look for options such as: • Evidence-Based Assessments • uDemonstrate Performance Assessments • Course-Level Pre, Post, and Diagnostic Assessments

Evidence-Based Assessments:Put students on the path to success with practice aligned towards demonstrating their mastery of science concepts as required by the NYSSLS.

Summative Assessments:Topic level assessments allow students to show what they know across a body of content.

Formative Assessments:Students are assessed throughout a lesson, providing feedback to inform instruction.
