PhD Science TEKS Edition Continuous Learning Components

PhD Science in Sync TEKS Edition complements the in-class curriculum so that students can keep building knowledge in any educational landscape. For example, students can fully participate in a hands-on science experiment in the classroom one day and finish a subsequent at-home lesson the next. They can complete lessons with only pencil and paper at home, use a blended offline and online hybrid model, or work entirely online. With PhD Science TEKS Edition and our continuous learning resources available through in Sync, teachers and students can toggle seamlessly between the classroom and the living room.
