"e" inc. Programs and the Mass Science Standards

"e" inc.'s programs meet the standards set by the Massachusetts Department of Education for grades 3-8 in earth science, biology, physics, and ecology. The following chart shows some examples of how our curricula meet these standards.

Grade "e" Topic Life Sciences Earth Science
