Activity-level resources
In individual activities in each Amplify Science lesson, teachers have access to:
- Instructional Guide: Teacher-facing instructions for delivering that particular activity. Within the Instructional Guide, teachers will see step-by-step instructions, optional model language to use, and detailed formative assessment. The Instructional Guide is not intended to be a “script;” teachers are encouraged to adapt the lessons as needed to make the lessons fit their teaching style. The Instructional Guide ensures that every teacher, no matter their training in three-dimensional instruction or their years of experience in the classroom, has all the tools and instructions they need to deliver effective, research-based, three-dimensional instruction to their students.
- Teacher Support: Helpful insights into that specific activity, such as pedagogical rationale, classroom management suggestions, recommendations on managing technology, extensions to the activity, literacy supports, and more. Teacher Supports also include Instructional Suggestions that teachers should plan on incorporating into the lesson as they see fit.
- Possible Responses: An answer key, along with common student misconceptions, when appropriate.
- My Notes (when accessing the Teacher’s Guide online): An online space where teachers can leave notes for themselves. These notes are saved to the teacher’s account.
