What is the difference between the SciGen Teacher Dashboard and the previous version of Science Generation?
This new version of SERP's Science Generation materials has been made in a very different way than the previous version. Instead of materials in the form of student booklets with teacher editions, we have instead made digital lesson plans for teachers. The lesson plans contain visuals for teachers to project, interactive activities to share with students, labs, and some PDF handouts as well. There are no student booklets, per se. Also in this version are "teacher tune-ups" that address content-related questions that teachers told us would be helpful.
