Units for review

Amplify Science has kindergarten through eighth grade units available for review.

Please note: for the K–5 units, the teacher accesses the digital curriculum for daily instruction (or a printed version of the teacher guide), while students use a variety of print and hands-on materials. When lessons call for students to access simulations and other digital tools (about once a week in grades 2–5), they will share devices and be logged-in via teacher credentials.

For the 6–8 program, both teachers and students access the digital curriculum, with students requiring devices for about 50 percent of lessons (either on shared devices or 1:1). Printed teacher guides and student notebooks are also available as downloadable PDFs in the program, or printed and bound from Amplify.
