Science Education Texts

Science Connected publishes free and affordable science education texts for elementary school, middle school, high school, and university life science courses. We also partner with schools and organizations to develop custom STEM literacy resources. Our materials for children teach “kitchen science” using readily available materials and tools. Our texts for older students teach from the latest scientific research in the life sciences and physical sciences.

Science Connected values lifelong learning, equal access, conservancy, and empowering others to make informed choices to support a healthy planet. We believe that cultivating an informed citizenry is vital to democracy. We work to inform the public about science so everyone can make choices that support environmental sustainability.

WHY SUPPORT SCIENCE EDUCATION?

Why should we invest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education? The benefits are many. We live in an era of constant scientific discovery and technological change. Science directly impacts our lives and requires our input as informed citizens. Moreover, as our economy increasingly depends on advanced in science and technology, new jobs are created in STEM fields. The success of nations depends on building a scientifically literate citizenry and a skilled, STEM-educated workforce.

Scientific literacy is essential to a post-industrial society. Companies often seek to hire STEM-literate employees, only to be met with a shortage of qualified applicants. By ensuring that all students have access to education in STEM subjects, we can close the so-called “skills gap.”

At Science Connected, we publish free and affordable science education texts while working with scientists and educators to provide children with the scientific knowledge that will help employ them, help them become the citizens, leaders, and innovators of tomorrow. But that’s not all. We also work with researchers, journalists, universities, and industry leaders to provide cutting-edge research findings to people of all ages who continue to change our world for the better.
