Amplify Science@Home update
We realize you need to plan for @Home Units and @Home Videos for all of the remaining units. Please view the complete schedule showing when each of these resources will be available in the Program Hub.
Moving forward, every new Amplify Science@Home unit will have a simpler set of materials. Learn more about what’s changing with our updated approach. |
New improvements for you
- We are also conducting a trial of a new slides-based lesson experience. Participating will save you time and extend your reach in the classroom through intuitive navigation and powerful presentation tools.
- Coming soon: To support remote learning, we will be offering the option to test a new feature that allows teachers to assign student activities for grades 6–8. This brand-new improvement will include the ability to set due dates and track lateness within Classwork and My Work.
Opt in for the lesson experience trial. |
Fewer clicks, easier navigation
We are redesigning the Program Hub to improve usability and save you time. The new and improved website will include all of the currently available tools, plus more. Stay tuned for updates coming soon! |

Zoom backgrounds to enhance remote learning!
When students act as scientists or engineers, they get a chance to see themselves in these roles. They are not just doing science, they are being scientists. Allow your students to put themselves in the role of a scientist or an engineer from home.
