The Integrated Science Program is a multi-year curriculum for Ages 13-20 that is implemented during science class.
It removes disciplinary silos and leverages authentic contexts to make formal science learning as relevant and exciting as real-world STEM.
90% of the time, “integrated” or “interdisciplinary” programs are really just a smorgasbord: a little of this and a little of that. Most fail to truly mesh concepts and skills, and rigor is rare. In our opinion, any truly integrated program is best defined as:
Contextual
Contexts Help Build Background Knowledge
We learn best through narratives that situate concepts, phenomena and evidence in a real place, with real people, and real consequences.
