About STC Program™ Unit
Kits for Grades K-6
The STC Program™ is a basal,
inquiry-based science curriculum for grades K-8 that covers
life, earth, and physical sciences with technology. STC™ was
developed by the National Science Resources Center based on
research into how students learn best. The NSRC was
established by the National Academies and the Smithsonian
Institution.
An STC unit is a comprehensive package containing
everything needed for a class of 30 students to cover a key
science topic in about eight weeks.
Components include:
Teacher's Guide - containing a sequence of about
17 lessons.
Student Investigations Books - a set of
15 reusable books for grades 3-6.
Materials - all equipment required for
the lessons except a few items commonly found at
home or in the classroom.
