Science News Learning
In 2022, the Science News in High Schools Program, which changed its name to Science News Learning, reached up to 5 million students, 17,000 educators and more than 5,000 schools. Following a successful middle school pilot program in the 2021–2022 school year, we are excited to move forward with a new name that reflects the program’s growth to meet new audiences, including middle school students and teachers.
Through the Science News Learning program, schools receive 10 copies of Science News throughout the school year. Print and digital articles highlight real-world, current science applications, transforming how students engage with classroom science by providing meaningful connections to core curricular concepts. The program supports educators through professional development workshops and access to hundreds of NGSS-aligned lesson plans that help integrate the news articles into classroom curricula on a regular basis.
Science News Learning will continue to put students at the center of their learning by encouraging educators to integrate current, real-world applications of core concepts found in Science News journalism to make STEM learning fun and memorable.
