Click on “Grade Level Standards” to see how each topic’s content aligns with ELA, Math, and Science Standards.
On each topic page, the information contained in “Facts and Links” provides student-friendly content to supplement the videos, followed by links that direct students to additional learning sources. “Games” features online games related to the topic, and “Books” provides suggested titles for your classroom library or for books to recommend to students. “Glossary” contains science vocabulary for each topic.

We want you, the teacher, to be able to use Science Trek to enrich your classroom instruction and to inspire your students to love science. If you have ideas or suggestions to make our videos and/or website better, please send me an email.
