Hear why educators in one Texas school district love HMH Into Science and how the program's hands-on activities engage students and inspires them to think like scientists.
An active, hands-on science curriculum
Implement phenomenon-based science instruction for Grades 6–8
Students learn science best by doing
With our Grades 6-8 science program HMH Into Science® and the Spanish version HMH ¡Arriba las Ciencias!™, students take part in phenomenon-driven activities that allow them to problem solve like real scientists.
A flexible way to meet science standards
Teachers can implement NGSS standards, or similar standards, with all the resources they need to engage students in learning science—without having to purchase extra content.
Research-based science pedagogy
The manageable NGSS curriculum allows educators to weave the Three Dimensions of Learning into each lesson in order to meet the Performance Expectations.
Educators and students access all curriculum resources from one platform
HMH Into Science and HMH ¡Arriba las Ciencias! reside on Ed®, the HMH learning platform, which includes e-book content, simulations and videos, auto-graded interactive assessments, and actionable data and reporting.

REAL-WORLD SCIENCE
Students investigate, like scientists
Students engage with science much like scientists do in the real world. They are encouraged to think critically, have conversations about science, investigate and explore further as called for by the NGSS.
EQUITABLE EXPERIENCES
Support for all learners on their science journey
HMH ¡Arriba las Ciencias! was developed using transadaptation and delivers a fully equitable experience with ALL Teacher and Student facing components available in Spanish.
ONGOING ASSESSMENT OPTIONS
Actionable data and reporting
Formative and summative curriculum assessments pinpoint students’ progress toward mastering performance expectations and indicate if they are making sense of phenomena.
