All Hands on Science
 A leader in developing tools for science teachers for more than 50 years, EDC's science curricula integrate professional development for teachers with hands-on activities for students. EDC also advises schools and districts on selecting and implementing curricula that best meets their specific educational needs.
 Building Blocks
Even young children can learn more about science. The Young Scientist series offers activities to improve science teaching and learning for children age three to five.
 It’s Elementary
An innovative, hands-on science curriculum, Insights helps elementary school students build skills and explore scientific concepts.
 Real Life, Real Science
Stories drawn from real life help high school students learn more about physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science.
 Bio Basics
As high school biology students explore more complex concepts, Insights in Biology offers a comprehensive curriculum that emphasizes cellular and molecular biology, as well as genetics, ecology, and evolution.
 A Foundation in Physics
Developed during the Cold War in response to the perception that students in the United States were lagging behind in math and science, PSSC Physics focused on the fundamental principles of physics, encouraging engagement and understanding as opposed to memorization. By the early 1960s, nearly half of all high school physics students in the United States were using the innovative curriculum.
 After the Bell Rings
The learning doesn’t end when the bell goes off at the end of the day. Explore It! and Design It! are two EDC programs designed for afterschool settings. Design It! presents activities in design engineering for students ages 7-12. By participating in Explore It!, children engage with familiar concepts using simple materials to foster science learning.
