Each Smithsonian Science for the Classroom™ module is designed to prepare students to meet a bundle

of performance expectations. As recommended by the NGSS, students are not presented with instruction

for one performance expectation in isolation. Instead, students use the DCIs, SEPs, and CCCs in varied

combinations throughout the module. Each lesson includes at least one three-dimensional task, but the

combination of dimensions does not always match a PE. However, by the end of the module, students will

be prepared to meet all listed PEs.

23 phenomena- and problem-based modules from the Smithsonian that are setting the standard in 3D learning and 3D assessment

Coherent Storylines • Coherent storylines that build toward students answering a question or solving a problem • Begin with the end in mind—students start with the big idea then work progressively through tasks that build to a culminating science or design challenge

Teacher Support

• Investigations engage your students in 3D tasks and assessments • Three-dimensional assessment system that includes pre-assessment, formative assessment, student self-assessment, and a summative written assessment and performance assessment, accompanied by scoring rubrics • From misconception support to ELL strategies, Teacher Guides provide everything you need to

transition to 3D instruction and assessment

Proven Results

Research-based instruction proven to raise test scores in science, reading, and math • Effective science and engineering instruction at every grade level • Smithsonian Science Stories Literacy Series provides all students with access to the Smithsonian’s research, scientists, and world-class collections while integrating science content and literacy
