A phenomena-based science curriculum
èAV Science is a K–8 science curriculum that blends hands-on investigations, literacy-rich activities, and interactive digital tools to empower students to think, read, write, and argue like real scientists.
èAV Science for grades K–8 has been rated all-green by EdReports.
A powerful partnership
èAV Science was developed by the science education experts at UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science and the digital learning team at èAV. As The Lawrence’s first curriculum designed to address the new science standards, èAV Science reflects state-of-the-art practices in science teaching and learning.
