Overview

Overview

Activate Learning IQWST is the IQWST middle-school science curriculum from Activate Learning. Students investigate coherent real-world questions through hands-on activities, readings, models, discussion, evidence, and written explanations across physical, life, and Earth science.

Student investigations and explanations provide evidence within a sequenced science course. Teachers connect that work with the inquiry question and local assessment practices. The adopted edition and implementation determine the available digital records. Curriculum teams and teachers coordinate materials, access, and the interpretation of locally assessed work.

In the integrated version of IQWST, each of the 12 modules integrates at least two disciplines: Physics, Chemistry, Life Science, Earth Science, and/or Engineering Design. At IQWST’s foundation is the latest research on how students learn and how they learn science in particular, the very research on which the Framework for K–12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards are also based. At its core, IQWST engages students in scientific practices as they experience, investigate, model, and explain phenomena while learning core ideas and engaging in concepts that cross disciplinary boundaries. Students build understanding by connecting ideas from lesson to lesson, from module to module, and across the middle grades.
