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

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.
Equitable Solutions
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.
