Twig Science Next Gen is a complete Pre-K-8 program built for the NGSS.

Welcome to Twig Science Next Gen

Interactive and hands-on learning plays an essential part in understanding science. Twig Science is dedicated to providing an interactive science program that gets students immersed in the exciting world of science and natural phenomena.

Three Interactive Teaching Tools for Three-Dimensional Success

Teacher

Print and Digital

Designed to make delivering the NGSS straightforward even for nonspecialist science teachers, Twig Science Next Gen includes comprehensive Teacher Editions in print and digital for flexible lesson planning, a state-of-the-art 3-D Performance Assessment suite, and an innovative, easy-to-use digital platform.

Student

Print and Digital

Twig Science Next Gen transforms 3‑D standards into dynamic visual, digital, and hands-on learning that students will remember forever. It brings real-world phenomena into students' lives through interactive Twig Books, theater-quality video, and engaging multimedia.

Science Kits or Video Labs

Students experience science and engineering firsthand as a dynamic, creative, and collaborative process-just like real working scientists and engineers in the 21st century. They develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills through a range of investigation types, from hands-on activities and digital interactives to on-demand Video Labs.

A New Way to Teach Science

Are you ready to celebrate plant shapes by curating your own Museum of Leafology? How about designing the Ultimate Playground through learning about pushes, pulls, and playground forces? Egg car crashes, anyone?

Student-Centered Investigations

Beyond the STEM roles students take on during the immersive storylines in Twig Science Next Gen, students encounter hundreds more STEM careers in film and text. Exposure to science and engineering careers at the elementary level inspires and engages students-a great indicator of success at later stages of school, college, and career.

STEM-Role Investigations

Hands-on, digital, and video investigations provide captivating real- world experiences in dozens of STEM roles-from park rangers and earthquake engineers to deep-space explorers and time-traveling tour guides.

Thousands of Award-Winning, Theater-Quality Videos and Interactives

All students regardless of socioeconomic background are transported to gather evidence of both local and global phenomena, experiencing science and engineering careers directly through thousands of high-quality videos and interactives.

1:1 Print and Digital Equity

Driving Questions challenge students to solve phenomena and design problems. PEs are described in student-friendly language. Student-friendly text features highlight instructional shifts and act as meta-cognitive cues.

NGSS instructional shifts require a new system of three-dimensional performance assessment, emulating the real-world experiences of scientists and engineers.

Twig Science Next Gen partnered with Stanford's SCALE team to develop engaging and reliable assessment in which students demonstrate thinking, knowledge, and practices to unpack phenomena and solve design challenges.

After teaching for 27 years, Twig Science Next Gen has brought the spark back into teaching for me... How lucky I am to be part of this incredible program.
