What is Interactive Science? Interactive Science 2011 is a standards-based, next generation elementary and middle grades science program that features an innovative write-in student edition that connects the big ideas of science to students lives. How is the program organized? Interactive Science features three paths that let teachers teach it their way: text, inquiry, and digital. Focus on one path or blend all three together. The text path includes our innovative write-in student edition and the DK Big Ideas of Science Reference Library. The inquiry path features our hands-on labs and activities scaffolded for all learners. The digital path features our next generation online learning environment where teachers can connect with students, manage their classes, and customize to their teaching style. Reading Interactive Science's innovative write-in student edition allows students to get all of the content, interactivity, and practice they need between the covers of a single book. Inquiry Interactive Science features a variety of hands-on and minds-on inquiry options to keep all your students engaged. From directed, to guided, to full inquiry, there are options to meet the way you teach and the time you have for labs! Digital Interactive Science features a complete online digital course at MyScienceOnline.com where teachers can set up and manage their class and where students can interact online with active art simulations, directed virtual labs, animated art, and get extra help.
