What does remote learning in science look like for your K-5 students?

How to make the transition from classroom to remote more seamless, engaging and fun for K-5 students in science is important. If you use CreositySpace science units in your classroom then you know our science content is real, relatable, and engages each student individually. What you might not know is that CreositySpace curriculum is built for both classroom and remote learning. 

CreositySpace units are designed to give teachers sequencing flexibility and access to digital content files enabling:
  • ​Consistency of subject content even as lessons switch between in-person and remote learning scenarios.
  • ​Ease of content integration into existing online platforms—e.g., Google Classrooms and SeeSaw—in in a way that works best for their students. 

In addition to the multiple online resources that enable teachers to continue lessons uninterrupted, each unit has an at-home companion kit for each student with hands-on activities and lessons—many of which do not require online access.

Flexible Lesson Plans

We provide the tools and content designed to leverage your students’ creativity and curiosity, with the extra background information and additional resources to support you wherever their inquiries take you.
  • With the Educator Guide as your "science playbook," you decide what sequencing works best for your classroom.  
  • The Lesson Planning Tools and Pacing Guide Resources sections help you determine preparation activities, lesson flow, and assessments. However, investigation order—and lesson sequencing—can always be adjusted if the day-to-day of your classroom flow is interrupted by school closure requirements.
  • Investigations have multiple opportunities for reflection and group discussion resulting in high levels of student engagement during in-class and remote learning periods. ​

Easy Integration with Online Platforms

Every CreositySpace unit includes teacher access to a digital forum.
  • This digital forum includes electronic copies of the Educator Guide and all printed student materials (including custom card decks, posters, etc.). 
  • Content files from the digital forum can be downloaded for easy integration into a variety of online platforms such as Google Classroom, SeeSaw, and others. 
The video below illustrates an example of one quick method you can use to integrate CreositySpace lessons into the online platform Google Classrooms. 
Our support team is always available to work with you to implement CreositySpace lessons in your classroom or remotely

At-Home Companion Kits

One of the biggest challenges to teaching science remotely that educators share with us is their inability to enable all students to continue with hands-on science investigations at home. Understanding that sending each student home with a complete science kit is both infeasible and impractical, CreositySpace created individual at-home companion kits for each unit.
  • Each Companion Kit contains a smaller version of our popular Book of Ideas, a student notebook, and all the materials necessary to complete, or extend, one of the unit's hands-on investigations at home. This enables access and lesson cohesion for all your students regardless of the support they are able to receive at home.
  • Companion Kit purchase is optional. Kits can be ordered at the beginning of the school year or as a real-time response to a new distance learning requirement. ​
