You asked, we listened.
Smithsonian Science for the Classroom on CSO has an improved digital resources layout within each module. Teachers will be able to find the type of digital resource (video, image, digital file) much easier than before at both the module and lesson level.
Teachers will also easily find lesson digital resources at Point of Use within the Materials and Preparation, Procedure, and Extension tabs, where applicable.
Additionally, some of the Student Notebook and Activity Sheets have been separated so teachers can assign them one at a time, when needed.
