We currently use FOSS Next Generation Science Kits to teach science to our eighth-grade students. It is also helpful to have this digital access to the textbook since we have a lot of students unable to access the written text because of low reading ability. The interactive text will make it possible for them to access the science material even if they can't read it. Students use the science text books to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using different mediums (e.g., print or digital text, video, multimedia) to present a particular topic or idea. ELA RI 8.7. They are also required to write scientific explanations and will use the text to delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing whether the reasoning is sound and the evidence is relevant and sufficient; recognize when irrelevant evidence is introduced. ELA RI 8.8 This premium access textbook will allow students to look at the textbook, access videos that go along with the reading, have the text read to them, and take notes online that will be saved each time they open up their eBook. In a way, this lets each student have their "own" copy of the textbook where they can read it themselves, or if the student has a reading disability, the text can be read to them. We also have a lot of students that are being excluded from school due to illness this year and this will let them have access to the textbook at home. This license will be good for 7 years of access. We also need a digital scale to weigh things in science and some sharpies to label things in our classroom
