What Teachers are Saying:
"It has been more than fifteen years since I graduated college. Since that time I have drifted away from learning new things, until this course. I am renewed as far as technology is concerned. Thank You."

The Science Matters Program
Impact: 16 school districts, 1,100 classes
Science Matters, launched in 1996, was designed to change the way science is taught and learned. The program provides nationally endorsed curriculum modules, teacher training, classroom follow-up, and kit refurbishment to support K-8 inquiry science. In a program evaluation conducted by the LRDC at the University of Pittsburgh, Science Matters fifth graders paralleled the performance of national and international seventh graders on challenging items. The program, housed at Washington & Jefferson College, has expanded its services to include curriculum audits and alignment, on-site customized training, K-12 Leadership Institutes and additional courses in content and pedagogy.
For more information about the curriculum modules, visit:
Science Matters Materials Center
The Materials Center is responsible for Science Module pick up and deliveries. We refurbish our science modules at this location. So any reference to scheduling modules for the classroom or contacting the office for pick up or delivery is going to go to this new number. All Professional Development or curriculum topics will go to the main office (724-250-3330)
