Hands-on lessons that work in any classroom.

Most science curriculum is created for classrooms with a full science block and funding for materials. Simplify Science® provides engaging labs and activities that help teachers confidently teach their science standards with limited time and only simple materials.

Get Started With Grades 3-5

Do you struggle to find simple hands-on activities and reading passages that fit into your short science block?

Don't go another day...

  • Struggling to find detailed lesson plans for your science standards.
  • Spending time and money finding individual science resources and piecemealing them together.
  • Trying to crowdfund for expensive science equipment.
  • Being stuck with free science articles that don't quite meet the standard or aren't grade level appropriate.
  •  Only doing surface-level science due to time constraints.

Our simple system includes everything you need to teach hands-on science lessons that are rich in vocabulary and data analysis.

What Teachers

Are Saying About

Simplify Science®

"Quality Articles"

"I joined Simplify Science because I am always looking for quality articles to support our science learning. It is hard to find good articles at my students' reading levels. I love the slides and the notes pages. I think it is wonderful that you include engineering design challenges. My students loved the matter unit. It really helped them visualize what matter is. They were then able to use the models of matter when they were explaining other concepts."

 Francesca Moen

5th Grade Teacher

"My class thought the magnets unit was a blast!"

"I joined Simplify Science because it was so hard to find the time to make good quality lessons and units. I love it because there are activities that are already made to do with the class. My class thought that the magnets unit was a blast!"

OUR GUARANTEE

Your Success Is Our Success.

 

I'm April Smith, the creator of Simplify Science®.

After years of struggling to teach science with limited time and resources, I knew teachers needed a better option.

I took my desire for hands-on activities that fit into a short block of time and turned it into a full curriculum with reading passages, instructional materials, and engaging labs that only require household items.

When you commit to using Simplify Science®, I personally guarantee that you will feel confident in your science instruction. I'm here to chat 1-on-1 whenever you need it.

If for some reason the curriculum isn't a good fit, we offer a 14-day refund policy, no strings attached. Just drop us an email to let us know.
