  • Understanding
    Imagine an elementary school where students really understand science at a fundamental level. Students as young as five years old discover important science ideas on their own.
  • Middle School Science
    Sangari helps address the crisis at the middle school level. IQWST can be a critical part of the solution: engaging kids, specifically early adolescents, in a way that keeps them excited and building skills for college, career, and lifelong learning.
  • Professional Development
    Teachers experience the science content and inquiry-based pedagogy as both a learner and a teacher. A full understanding and modeling of inquiry-based questioning strategies, literacy and vocabulary building strategies that include reading, writing, thinking, listening and discussing, and use of embedded assessments all prepare teachers to guide the lessons with success.
  • Why is One Side of the Moon Always Dark?
    Students start each lesson by grappling with a Big Idea or Driving Question that taps into their innate curiosity about the world, while simultaneously introducing a key scientific building block.
  • Jr. Scientists
    Students become junior scientists and explorers, guided by the teacher to build their own understanding.
