FOSS and Utah SEEd Standards

Science curriculum that meets Utah's SEEd Standards!

Are you prepared to actively engage your students with the new FOSS Next Generation Science Curriculum?

FOSS® Next Generation is the curriculum that guides students through their own active investigations of scientific phenomena. Grounded in ongoing research at UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science, the three-dimensional learning of FOSS imparts not just facts but a scientific way of thinking, equipping students from all backgrounds to meet modern standards and navigate today’s complex world.
