Amplify Science

We’re excited to share the newly launched STEM resource library! It’s filled with our most popular activities, posters, and guides for you and your class. Use these resources to keep your students excited about science all year long. 

Calling all Amplify Science instructional leaders!

The Lawrence Hall of Science team invites you to the exclusive Instructional Leaders Community of Practice (ILCP). Join other instructional coaches and science coordinators from districts across the country to connect and exchange ideas, tools, and resources for leading a successful Amplify Science implementation. Teachers, please share this opportunity with your leaders and admins!

How can I check on my middle-school students' performance?

Don’t forget that when middle school Unit Assessments are administered digitally, the Reporting tool enables teachers to analyze student performance on the unit assessments. Amplify Science grade 6–8 educators have access to Reporting via the Global Navigation bar.

Where can I find possible responses? 

Amplify Science K–5 educators with the digital experience license can access a Possible Responses PDF that looks like completed Investigation Notebook pages. The Possible Responses PDF includes illustrated diagrams, models, and expected Sim usage, where appropriate. Go to the Printable Resources section of the Unit Overview to access yours. 

How can I boost engagement?

Here are some suggestions that other educators have shared in our Amplify Science Facebook group:

• Encourage students to start and participate in discussions.
• Have students work at the board to demonstrate how they use simulations.
• Remind students of the problem they're trying to figure out.
