Engage students with instruction that brings science concepts to life and helps them prepare to meet more stringent science performance standards. PLATO® Earth and Space Science’s theme-based scenarios encourage students to explore scientific inquiry, problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. The hands-on learning environment offers animation, video, narrations, and interactions to demonstrate concepts, enhance lectures, and deepen understanding. A narrated glossary gives students confidence with scientific terms. Teachers can access the sophisticated test-item bank to assign objective-based pre- and post tests to determine students’ level of understanding and prescribe appropriate instruction.

PLATO Earth and Space Science includes lessons covering:

• Planet Earth
• Water in our World
• Weather and Atmospheric Processes
• Earth, Space and the Universe
• Ecology and Natural Resources

PLATO Earth and Space Science is component of the three-part, multi-award-winning PLATO Middle School Science Series, which also includes PLATO® Life Science and PLATO® Physical Science. These curricula can be used effectively for whole class instruction, preparation for standards and high-stakes tests, individual or small group study, and remediation.
