IT HAS ALSO SHOWN SIGNIFICANT TRENDS OF GROWTH ON DISTRICT TESTS. Teaching is a multifaceted profession, demanding one person to wear multiple hats, often simultaneously. Having a resource that truly helps lighten the burden of at least one of those hats, and one that actually produces consistent gains in learning growth, is a wonderful feeling. Science Bits is one of those miraculous resources! I have been using Science Bits in my 6th grade science class within a low socioeconomic status, rural county for over a year. It has not only been an all-inclusive curriculum based on my standards that requires no additional research, material resource creation, organization, or formative assessment planning on my part, it has also shown significant trends of growth on district tests. Students are guided in how to think like a scientist by real scientists, using one of the most successful formats - the 5E. They are given small chunks of information one at a time with interactive tasks and digital manipulatives as on-going assessment at each step up a beautifully constructed scaffold. Students genuinely explore concepts, generate questions, and develop reasoning a bit similar to a well-rounded STEM activity (but better), instead of being given facts to memorize and regurgitate or doing worksheets that require little application of the content information. Differentiation, ELL ESOL accommodation, and integration of reading and math are now far easier than ever before in my 10 years of experience. Science Bits delivers on so many levels and is so user friendly that a teacher with one license, an ActivBoard, and no science background could still use and benefit from the program. Data is easy to collect, and my district pre post test data proves the great strides in improvement students are experiencing in transferring their learning from the program to a standard multiple-choice exam. Students are making connections with little effort, even between different units. The students enjoy it, the teacher enjoys it, and it works! What more do you need? × JEN TAYLOR SCIENCE TEACHER AT LAKEVIEW ACADEMY, SARATOGA SPRINGS, UTAH IT'S THE BEST ADDITION I HAVE MADE TO MY CURRICULUM IN THE 11 YEARS I HAVE BEEN TEACHING. I love using Science Bits with my 8th graders because it's not encyclopedic, it's experiential. Students don't need to be fed vocabulary because they can just look those things up. They need to be taught how to think and Science Bits does an excellent job of that. The simulations and virtual labs are innovative, responsive, and engaging. It's based on the 5E model which has been research-proven and also works nicely with 3D instruction that should start with a phenomenon. I love that it requires the students to work through a problem until they get it totally right. Vocabulary and background ideas are there for their perusal at any point in the process, including during the testing. It helps them to learn to think through problems like a scientist would. It's the best addition I have made to my curriculum in the 11 years I have been teaching. × EMILIANO SÁNCHEZ-CRESPO ROMERO JESÚS MARÍA SCHOOL, HERMANOS GARCÍA NOBLEJAS (MADRID) THE WINDS OF CHANGE ARE ALSO BLOWING IN EDUCATION. YOU CAN'T EDUCATE STUDENTS IN THE 21ST CENTURY WITH TOOLS AND METHODOLOGIES FROM LAST CENTURY. Although we were cautious and fearful about embracing the digital era, both my colleagues at the department and I were totally impressed with the Science Bits project from the very start. It is true that it wasn't easy, either. We had some minor technical problems at first, and many doubts and concerns about the method and the results. Having used the product for a year, I can speak from experience: all our concerns have been dispelled and the method truly works. At the very least I can guarantee you that the students do not learn any less than using a more traditional method. Quite the opposite, in fact: when compared to the results obtained through conventional written tests, their learning outcomes have become much better. Students are actively involved in their own learning process, seem to be more motivated, and get to monitor their own progress from the first minute. Also, the method is useful in rescuing those students who, after having fallen behind with conventional methods, rarely manage to catch up. The teachers' role also changes, especially in the computer room: they no longer take center stage but rather assist students, clarifying doubts and helping them to do Internet searches and make new discoveries. Science Bits' methodology does not rely so much on memorization as it does on developing certain skills—they call them “competencies,” nowadays—that make their learning experience richer and more complete. New concepts are acquired as a consequence; knowledge is no longer imposed on the learners, as we had more often than not come to expect. And what's more, assessment using this method is much easier for teachers. To sum up, we're happy to work with this learning platform in our school, to use this methodology and its resources—which, by the way, are outstanding—that lead to a high standard of education. If a good tool is one that allows you to do what you set out to do in an easier and more efficient way, then I'm fully convinced that Science Bits is a great tool. × FRANCESC ESPÍN SCIENCE TEACHER, JOSEP PLA SCHOOL (BARCELONA) SCIENCE BITS HAS HELPED ME A GREAT DEAL IN INSTILLING PASSION FOR SCIENCE IN STUDENTS The following anecdote sums up what Science Bits has meant for my classes: during the Doors Open Days at our school, a visiting father asked a group of students why [he] should take [his] son to that school and not to a different one. One of our students replied: “because we learn science with Science Bits.” Student motivation has increased with Science Bits content. The concept map, images, videos, and most of the activities and questions throughout the lessons have piqued our students' curiosity. Science Bits has helped me a great deal in generating a passion for science. On top of this, the constructivist model followed, which does not oversee the precept of “conceptual theory,” has given way to significant learning and resulted in effective acquisition of knowledge. We decided to go ahead and use Science Bits in English during this school year, and I can assure you that the language choice we made has motivated our students even further and granted us the opportunity to do transversal work in both English and Science. At the same time, this allowed us to improve the specific use of English in science of both our teachers and students. × MIQUEL MARTÍN SCIENCE TEACHER, LLOR FOUNDATION (BARCELONA) IT IS A GREAT RESOURCE FOR TEACHERS AND A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR STUDENTS The activities designed by Science Bits drive students to question things and encourage creativity, research, and experimentation...in short, scientific skills. The work done in class using Science Bits fosters scientific debates and exchange of ideas among students, but it also allows for individual work through the monitoring and self-evaluation tools made available for the teachers. All in all, it is a great resource for teachers and a highly effective tool for students.
