Look What Teachers
Are Saying...

I teach SEPUP because it packages “good science” in a manageable, hands-on program. In SEPUP, students are hooked with a high interest issue and then investigate the science surrounding it. The process of science is learned by actually doing science. Students make decisions about the issue based on the evidence they have acquired.

Is SEPUP effective? Repeatedly I hear parents comment, “My child never liked science before this year,” or “We always know what is going on in science because we discuss it at dinner.” A measure of effectiveness is student engagement. SEPUP not only engages students but also requires them to think critically, a skill that will remain with students throughout their lives.
