STEM Curriculum Written Specifically for Virginia Schools
STEMscopes Virginia was built from scratch to fully align with the 2018 Virginia Science Standards of Learning and Curriculum Framework. Through the research-based 5E + IA learning model, your students explore scientific concepts through dynamic phenomena found in everyday life.
The Future of STEM Education is a STEMscopes Classroom
With STEMscopes Virginia, your students actually do science—instead of simply reading about it.

How STEMscopes is Built
Rooted in the Scientifically Proven 5E Model PLUS Intervention and Acceleration.
STEMscopes pedagogy has its roots in Bybee’s 5E model, Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences, and the back‑flipped classroom wherein students learn by doing and experiencing rather than passively observing.
