A phenomena-based K–5 elementary science curriculum

Amplify Science for grades K–5 is a phenomena-based science curriculum that is designed to give elementary students engaging, realistic experiences that mirror how scientists and engineers actually work. To do this, the Lawrence Hall of Science and Amplify created an elementary science program that includes compelling hands-on investigations, print resources, and digital modeling tools and simulations that work seamlessly together to enable students’ investigations and explorations.
