STANDARDS

Meet Today's Most Rigorous Academic Standards

SuperSTEM magazine is designed to support today's core science, engineering, math, and ELA standards. Using our multigenre texts, students engage in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) lessons and activities that power engagement, problem-solving, and investigation.

 

NGSS and Common Core State Standards

See an in-depth breakdown of how SuperSTEM articles, activities, quizzes, and other features support all three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for math and ELA.

Florida B.E.S.T. Standards for ELA

SuperSTEM supports the four B.E.S.T. strands—foundational skills, reading, communication, and vocabulary—and helps students meet standards and benchmarks. See how.

Florida NGSSS Standards for Science

SuperSTEM is aligned with Florida’s Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for Science (NGSSS). Learn how our resource supports the 4 Bodies of Knowledge and their 18 connected Big Ideas. See how.

TEKS Standards for Science

SuperSTEM is aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Science. Articles, activities, and lessons are carefully crafted to promote scientific literacy while incorporating scientific and engineering practices, recurring themes, and core ideas. See how.

CALENDAR

Cover Must-Teach Topics All Year Long

2024–2025 Planning Calendar

Here's a sneak peek at some of the exciting stories we've planned for 2024–2025. Each one comes with an interdisciplinary package of powerful instructional resources that support standards and build key STEM skills.

BLENDED LEARNING

Engage Every Student—Anytime, Anywhere and On Any Device with Flexible Print + Digital Resources

Online Articles 

All of our articles can be viewed online on a wide range of devices, such as Chromebooks or tablets. You can also project content on your whiteboard and use features like highlighting and note-taking during whole-class lessons. 


Easy Differentiation

Make STEM accessible to all of your students with two reading levels (Lexile®) for each feature article including a printable PDF of the lower-Lexile version. We also offer Text-to-Speech so students can have an article read aloud to them.


Printable Activities

Grow students' science, math, and engineering skills with activities that help them analyze data, use models, and argue from evidence. Build and assess reading comprehension with activities that help students develop their vocabulary, summarize texts, and more.


Captivating Videos

Capture STEM in action with knowledge-building videos, virtual field trips, and interviews with STEM experts.

 


Slideshows: Vocabulary and Hands-On Activities

Our interactive vocabulary slideshows offer great visual support and practice for key vocabulary words. Interactive hands-on activities guide students through an investigation with video clips and discussion questions.


Searchable Archive 

Browse curated collections of past SuperScience and DynaMath issues for the science and math topics you need to teach most. Plus, SuperSTEM’s archive will be growing with each issue to provide even more engaging content!


ROBUST TEACHING SUPPORT 

Save Prep Time with Comprehensive Teaching Support

We've done the prep work for you! Each print issue comes with a comprehensive instructional support package, including:

  • Digital Resource Guide that provides an overview of the articles in each issue including its standards, objectives, multimedia resources (like videos and games), and accompanying activities.

  • Flexible interdisciplinary lesson plans with ideas for supporting students before, during, and after reading the article. Plus, a special “STEM Integration” section provides you with content-area connections across the disciplines.

  • Each article is paired with skill-building STEM, science, math, and ELA activities that can be used for assessment, your stations and centers, and at-home connections. 

  • Hands-on activities and scientific investigations include accessible, easy-to-find items.

  • Science, ELA, and math standard correlations for each article and activity.
