Discovery Education is developing an online basal service for elementary and middle school supporting science inquiry with content tied to Florida state science standards. The service provides core science content through multiple learning modalities. Coupled with a real-time assessment component that measures students' progress, it recommends individualized resources that reinforce classroom instruction.
