*FOSS (Full Option Science System) is a modular science program comprised of 27 modules.The modules are organized under four strands: Life Science, Physical Science, Earth Science and Scientific Reasoning and Technology. The modular structure of the FOSS program is intended to give teachers the opportunity to adapt and implement the materials according to their own programs.
Full Option Science System (FOSS) for Middle School is a general science curriculum for students in grades 6-8. The curriculum is organized into topical units, called courses, under each of three strands: Earth and Space Science, Life Science and Physical Science and Technology.
*SEPUP (The Science Education for Public Understanding Program) creates innovative science curriculum for use in 6–12 education. One of the most unique aspects of SEPUP materials is its issue-oriented approach: SEPUP curriculum uses personal and societal issues to introduce and explore science concepts.
Located at the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California at Berkeley, SEPUP is a not-for-profit project that was established in 1987 originally as CEPUP. Since that time, SEPUP has supported excellence in science education by developing research-based curricular materials and providing teacher professional development.
*STC (Science and Technology Concepts) is an inquiry- centered, school science curriculum developed by the National Science Resources Center (NSRC). Each STC module provides opportunities for students to experience scientific phenomena firsthand.
