Core Curriculum
Elementary science curriculum
Encourage students’ curiosity about our phenomenal world
Build connections and inspire exploration
Inspire students to think like scientists with HMH’s elementary science curriculum. Students actively explore science through hands-on activities and experiments and gain a deeper understanding of scientific concepts.
Next Generation Science Standards
With HMH elementary science programs, educators can implement an NGSS curriculum that provides coherent, phenomenon-driven storylines; delivers three-dimensional learning; and incorporates Claims, Evidence, and Reasoning into the 5E instructional model.
Connected teaching and learning
HMH elementary science solutions reside on Ed, the HMH learning platform, combining the best of technology, content, and instruction to support each moment in a student’s and teacher’s journey.
Distinguished authorship team ensures success
Developed by science thought leaders and education experts, our science curriculum for elementary school gives teachers the tools they need to prepare students for the world beyond the classroom.

HMH Into Science® and
HMH ¡Arriba las Ciencias!®
HMH Into Science and HMH ¡Arriba las Ciencias! for Grades K–5 deliver student-centered, flexible curriculums that combine hands-on learning with ELA-based science instruction.
HMH Science Dimensions® and HMH Dimensiones de las Ciencias™
HMH Science Dimensions and HMH Dimensiones de las Ciencias K–5 encourage students to think like scientists as they learn through exploration, analysis, and application.
Motivate students to explore science through experimentation
As the name suggests, 90-Second Science videos and lesson plans highlight short, simple experiments that educators can do with their students in one class period. Watch the entire 90-Second Science series on our YouTube channel.
Solutions that encourage scientific thinking
Authentic science activities
Students actively “do science” through hands-on science activities; they think critically about their observations, practice gathering evidence, and defend their claims. Open-ended simulations allow students to use technology like real scientists in the field.
Assessments that support higher-level thinking
Summative and formative science assessments support educators in gauging student progress, identifying where support may be needed, determining if students are making sense of phenomena, and providing modified options.
Spanish resources
With HMH’s K–5 science curriculum, Spanish-speaking students have access to fully equitable Spanish solutions. Every student- and teacher-facing component of the English solution is also available in Spanish that was developed using transadaptation.
Personalized professional learning
HMH partners with schools and districts to foster a culture of growth through relevant, ongoing professional learning for every educator. Connect with us for guided implementation support for your programs, year-round instructional coaching through HMH’s Coachly™ and courses, and shoulder-to-shoulder partnership for leaders from Center for Model Schools.
