  • Event-Based Science is a new way to teach science at the middle school level that follows the Total Engagement Learning SystemTM. Event-Based Science is an award-winning, research-based program in which newsworthy events establish the relevance of science topics; authentic tasks create the need-to-know more about those topics; and lively interviews, photographs, Web pages, and inquiry-based science activities create a desire to know more about those topics. The result is meaningful, engaged learning for your students. The Event-Based Science Project is supported by grants from National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and published by Prentice Hall. EBS is recommended by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), the US Department of Education, and many other organizations.
