Kognity’s New Earth and Space Science Course!
At Kognity, we’re passionate about igniting a love for science in students of all backgrounds. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new Earth and Space Science course, designed from the most up-to-date research and data, providing teachers and students with the most relevant and engaging content.
Crafting an Engaging Learning Experience
The Earth and Space Science course stands out from the crowd with its:
- Course Flexibility: Provides schools with a complete 4-course instructional model or leverages additional content for 3-course integrated schools.
- Dedicated Focus on Earth and Space: Providing superior coverage of Earth and Space Science standards compared to integrated science courses.
- Engaging Content: Filled with exciting phenomena and cutting-edge content built on real-life scientific research and data.
- Expert Authorship: Written by experienced NGSS Earth and Space educators for maximum effectiveness.
- Science for All Learners: Rigorously designed with scaffolded learning, perfect for students who may have struggled in other science classes, offering an accessible pathway to scientific exploration.
- Teacher Support: Offering extensive teacher guidance materials for seamless implementation and ideal for both experienced Earth and Space teachers and those new to the subject.
We built the course around engaging driving questions and phenomena. We meticulously unpacked standards, experimented with bundling, and integrated them with phenomena to create strong, cohesive units that promote deep learning.

A Commitment to Continuous Enhancements
Kognity is dedicated to providing quality curriculum for educators. We continuously advance our courses based on teacher feedback and the expertise of our dedicated feedback handlers, NGSS experts who ensure the course stays relevant and up-to-date.
There are very few resources that support the 4-course model. We’re thrilled to offer this comprehensive course that districts can easily roll out, with full support for a successful implementation.

Crafting Compelling Content
The curriculum team focused on creating content that is:
- Relevant: Carefully chosen phenomena connect with students’ lives and experiences.
- Accurate: Backed by extensive research, incorporating primary literature for deeper understanding.
- Engaging: Utilizes simulations, hands-on activities, and discussion-based assessments.
The course incorporates a variety of assessments, including quick check-in discussions, quizzes, and larger project-based assessments with peer-feedback and revision opportunities—equipping students with valuable knowledge and critical thinking skills.
We want students to understand that local solutions can have global impacts, and that we all have a role to play in stewarding our precious planet.
