The rich content of Amplify Science K–5 can be used with digital experience, a robust lesson delivery option that enhances instruction and saves you time. To maximize flexibility and meet the needs of a wider variety of implementation preferences, a teacher-only digital experience is available.

Digital experience license options
With digital experience, you can explore teacher-facing lesson content—including sample teacher talk, student responses, just-in-time pedagogical support, possible student responses, and more—on your private Teacher Guide tab while presenting lesson content to students from a separate tab.
You can use digital experience with or without student licenses. When your students also have digital experience licenses, they can access digital notebook pages, embedded apps, and other features, in one cohesive experience from their own account. Learn more here.
The option of using digital experience without student licenses is a great alternative for those who want to take advantage of the streamlined planning and presentation features of the experience but don’t wish for their students to have the full digital experience. With this option, students will only work online when activities call for an app to be used.
Student use of technology in the Teacher-only digital experience
Amplify Science students in grades 2–5 occasionally use devices to utilize Science Practice Tools and/or Simulations. If your students do not have digital experience licenses, they’ll simply access the necessary digital tools by logging into the students apps page at learning.amplify.com and choosing the appropriate unit (note: the student apps page should be bookmarked on student devices, and your IT department should be able to tell you what login credentials your class should enter).
Once a unit is chosen, there will be rows of links to all of that unit’s apps and digital books. These links are presented as color-coded and numbered squares to make it easy for you and your students to communicate about them (e.g., “click on the blue 2,” “click on the 6 in the bottom row,” etc.).
Key feature differences between digital experience options
Because students will only access the student apps page and not the digital experience space themselves, several features that relate to student access are not part of the Teacher-Only digital experience.
