The Educational Software Cooperative gave the creators of the Smart Science® core learning system its 2006 Outstanding Achievement Award for promoting scientific thinking.

In 2007 and 2008 the College Board applied the National Research Council's criteria for laboratory experiences when it approved AP science courses that incorporate Smart Science® online integrated instructional lab units for their lab components.

Save time and money by using Smart Science® online integrated instructional lab units and assure safe, superior and College Board-approved A.P. course lab experiences for all your science students from 5th grade through college. Call 310-773-4293.
Apex Learning, the Education Program for Gifted Youth at Stanford University, the Center for Talented Youth at Johns Hopkins University, Idaho Distance Learning Academy, Georgia Virtual School, Primavera Online High School, Pennsylvania Intermediate Units 8 and 9, Arkansas State University at Newport and others have selected Smart Science® online integrated instructional lab units for their science courses, including many AP courses.

AP Biology, AP Chemistry and AP Physics online integrated instructional lab units are now available.

The Smart Science® core learning system contains the only online integrated instructional lab units that achieve the National Research Council's definition of laboratory experiences and the College Board's criteria for laboratory experiences.
In a Smart Science® integrated instructional lab unit, students write hypotheses of experimental results. They select online real experiments to determine the correctness of their hypotheses. They use their judgment as they collect each unique data point from these experiments and identify any systematic and/or random errors. Students analyze their experimental results, determine which hypotheses are false and defend their findings. They may also design and perform offline experiments and upload images and data into the virtual lab for inclusion with online experimental results. Students may work together to write hypotheses, pick online experiments and design offline experiments to test hypotheses, and participate in group analysis of the group's results.

The Smart Science® core learning system is a complete course delivery system. Smart Science® integrated instructional units provide virtual labs with real (not simulated) online and/or offline experiments, assessments, other course activities, lesson plans, online commenting and grading of student reports, and tracking of students and curriculum milestones.
