Introduction

The following document demonstrates how Interactive Science ©2016, Grades 6-8, supports the

Minnesota Academic Standards in Science. Correlation references are to the Student Edition,

Teacher Edition, and online Quest/STEMQuest and Performance Expectation activities.

Interactive Science is a middle school science program composed of twelve student modules

spanning life, earth, physical, and nature topics that makes learning personal, engaging, and

relevant for today’s student. Interactive Science features an innovative Write-in Student Edition that

enables students to become active participants in their learning and truly connect the Big Ideas of

science to their world.

Online Quests and STEMQuests are problem-based learning activities designed to support all three

parts of the Next Generation Science Standards framework (Disciplinary Core Ideas, Cross-Cutting

Concepts, and Science and Engineering Practices) by diving deep into real world topics at each grade

level. A focus on the Science and Engineering Practices ensure your students can apply what they

have learned to new situations and new content.

Online Performance Expectation Activities are designed to meet specific NGSS Performance

Expectations and support the associated DCI, CCC, and SEPs.
