Gateways to Science Grade 2 Student Edition
$50.00
A comprehensive program designed around an instructional plan that maximizes opportunity for student learning of the specific concepts and processes mandated by the TEKS for science. This Region 4 product is built entirely on the TEKS, whereas, current programs attempt to cover most of science at every grade level. With the Gateways program, teachers are no longer “lost in the seas of science”, attempting to teach too many concepts with too little time. The less is more philosophy provides the instructional time necessary for specific TEKS concepts and processes to be effectively developed over time and to be understood by the learner.

Description
Created specifically for Grade 2, this TEKS-based science resource offers a focused, “less is more” approach to instruction. Instead of racing through a broad range of topics, students dig deep into key concepts and processes aligned with the science TEKS. Includes vertically aligned instructional plans, sequenced 5E lessons, multiple strategies for differentiation, and integrated support for math and literacy. Performance assessments and a TAKS™ simulation ensure mastery of concepts over time.
