The Integrated Series offers a learning experience based on the 5 Es and anchored in student-relevant phenomena and problems.

Features and benefits: 

* A phenomenon-basedapproach employing the 5E instructional cycle, aligning with how students learn science.

* Each chapter opens with clear, achievable learning outcomesfor students

*Anchoring phenomenonbegins each chapter

* Full colorthroughout

* Practical investigations, with clear objectives and equipment lists

* Glossaryencourages scientific literacy 

* Specifically designed summative assessmentsconclude each chapter.

* Full integration of the three dimensions of the CA NGSSenables students to deepen their understanding of Disciplinary Core Ideas through the use of Science and Engineering Practices and application of Crosscutting Concepts.

* The California Environmental Principles and Conceptsare incorporated throughout.
