Tackling Tough Science Topics Before Fall with Strategies That Work and Funding That Fits
Complex topics like DNA structure, Newton’s laws, and chemical reactions often leave students confused and disengaged. Now’s a great time to explore supportive tools that make teaching easier — and discover how simple it is to secure funding for classroom-ready science resources that truly help.
Why Some Science Topics Need Extra Support
Many middle and high school science concepts — like osmosis, ionic bonds, and electrical circuits— require more than textbook definitions. These topics are abstract, often invisible to the naked eye, and difficult to model without the right tools.
That’s why students benefit from visual explanations, interactive experiments, and real-world applications — all of which JoVE delivers through standards-aligned videos.
What Successful Classrooms Do Differently
High-impact classrooms use tools that combine:
- Short, standards-aligned videos
- Hands-on activities tied to real-world phenomena
- Engaging assessments and inquiry prompts
JoVE’s concept videos makes this easy — no prep, no extra tech, just NGSS-ready resources.
