Back to School Starts with Preparation
As we approach the back half of summer, it’s time to start thinking about how to prepare your classroom for the school year.
That means organizing your classroom, checking your supplies and storage, and taking a hard look at your curriculum to ensure it will help you meet your goals.
With modern classrooms shifting towards active learning, we’re ready to help educators embrace it. FOSS curriculum and kits come complete with the teacher and student components needed to deliver an engaging science education experience.
So set the lecture podium aside and show your students how to dive in with hands-on investigation and discovery. FOSS is ready for you and your students from day one!
