Science

Spark scientific curiosity and reinforce key concepts before every lesson.

About This Subject

Science warmups build the habits of scientific thinking — observation, questioning, hypothesizing, and analyzing evidence — that are transferable across all disciplines. Prompts engage students in the practices of science, not just the content.

How Do Now Warmups Works

Prompts present phenomena, data sets, graphs, images, or news articles that students analyze using scientific reasoning. Each warmup takes 5–10 minutes and prepares students to engage more deeply with the lab or lesson that follows.

Aligned to National Standards

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)

Prompts support NGSS Science and Engineering Practices, including analyzing data, constructing explanations, and arguing from evidence.

Benefits for Teachers and Students

  • Builds scientific reasoning skills that transfer across all STEM disciplines
  • Phenomenon-based prompts mirror the NGSS approach to instruction
  • Students enter class observing and questioning rather than passively waiting
  • Formative data helps teachers adapt the day's lesson in real time
