Transitioning to SEPUP's NGSS units?

Need help figuring out which Third Edition SEPUP units should replace your current program?  Use the Curriculum Builder tool to drag and drop new units, rearrange them to best meet your state and school needs, and print a summary of your new scope and sequence. Or, start with a default template created for your state, and customize as needed. 

 

Notebook Tutorial Video

Whether you're new to notebooking or you want to dig deeper this helpful video walks through the aspects of keeping a science notebook. 

Sample Science Notebook

A science notebook not only models the way scientists work, but it helps to develop and reinforce students’ science learning and literacy skills. 

Up your game

Sometimes you need a little reminder or a new idea to implement a new strategy to your teaching. These resources can add depth to your approach, help expand your teaching skill set and are a nice supplement to our implementation PDs.
