Welcome, Achieve reviewers!

Authored by UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science, Amplify Science was designed from the ground up for the Next Generation Science Standards to teach students to think, read, write, and argue like real scientists and engineers. The program combines literacy-rich activities with hands-on learning and digital tools to engage students in exploring a compelling real-world phenomenon in every unit.

On this site, you will find easy-to-follow instructions and resources to support your review.

  • Un niño que usa gafas de seguridad examina un objeto cerca de su cara mientras sostiene un pequeño trozo de material blanco.
  • Dos niñas en un salón de clases realizan un experimento científico con agua y una pajita, una sostiene una taza y la otra observa. Las hojas de trabajo y los materiales están sobre la mesa.
  • Un oso polar se encuentra sobre un pequeño témpano de hielo en el océano con un sol naranja en el cielo y lejanas montañas heladas al fondo.
  • Mariposa en vuelo sobre plantas en macetas sobre una mesa, con una oruga en un tallo frondoso cerca, una regadera roja a la izquierda y un paisaje brillante al fondo.

Units for review

Amplify Science is a blended learning program where students take on the roles of scientists and engineers to solve real-world problems.

As a reviewer, you’ll have access to three Amplify Science units:

  • Grade 1: Plant and Animal Defenses
  • Grade 3: Weather and Climate
  • Middle School: Light Waves
