Science World supports all three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Plus nonfiction articles, discussion prompts, and literacy-based skills sheets help you meet national and state standards, including Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) in reading and writing. Learn more about how Science World supports standards. Refer to the Teacher's Guide for specific standards covered in a particular issue.

Instantly capture students’ attention with engaging, ad-free videos that include the option for closed-captioning. Background videos make great pre-reading activities and build essential core knowledge on topics covered in the magazine.

Videos can be found throughout our site: on article pages, on issue pages, in our video archive, and within each issue’s presentation view.

Every feature article in Science World is available at two reading levels. Select the article that you want to read. If it’s a feature article, the multiple reading levels will appear in the toolbar on the left. Choose the preferred level. The Text-to-Speech tool can also be used to read either level aloud.

Step-by-step lesson plans come with many of the articles in the issue. You get discussion questions, differentiation tips, standards correlations, and much more.

The Teacher’s Guide also includes printable or projectable standards-aligned skills sheets that accompany each article. Our standards-aligned, interdisciplinary skills sheets support reading comprehension and writing skills and reinforce science and engineering practices. They are easy to print or assign through Google Classroom (or other learning management systems). Learn more about our skill sheets.
