Our Programs


Smithsonian Science for the Classroom™ is raising the bar in three-dimensional learning and three-dimensional assessment for K–5. These high-quality instructional materials received an All-Green rating from EdReports and are proven to raise standardized test scores in math, reading and science.

Explore hands-on, practice-based units will engage your middle school students in the investigation of exciting phenomena. STCMS is the best way to prepare your students to be the next generation of scientifically literate citizens.



OpenSciEd® and Carolina have partnered to make high-quality instructional materials even better. Carolina’s expert scientists and teachers have reengineered OpenSciEd lessons for K–12 to provide redesigned and enhanced print, kits and materials, and digital resources for teachers and students to create an easier path to implementation.

Our grades TK–5 units use an integrated approach that includes reading of informational text, cross-curricular activities, and home-school connections. Active investigations blended with powerful literacy, digital, and interactive content provide additional avenues for students to explore concepts.



Carolina Kits 3D® investigations let you build a comprehensive program for life science, chemistry, physics, and Earth and space science using district-level bundles or individual teacher kits. Both include the materials you need to help your students thrive with NGSS and phenomena-based science learning.
