This week we’re exploring one of the Britannica LaunchPacks: Science! This resource covers a variety of scientific topics and includes assignments, annotation tools, videos, articles, and links all divided by grade level from K-12.
“Britannica LaunchPacks: Science leverages high-quality, diverse digital content sets to build science knowledge and understanding, enabling educators to make strong cross-curricular connections to help students engage in meaningful learning. It allows educators to build content sets (Packs) that cover each of the disciplinary core ideas outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards and provide a seamless experience for students to think critically.”
