The FOSS CA K–5 Program has been officially adopted by the CA State Board of Education. FOSS CA is a complete curriculum that is easy to use and provides comprehensive resources, support, and guidance for California teachers, and deep conceptual understanding of science for California students. Here’s a chance to talk with the FOSS CA developers and knowledgeable FOSS implementers about how the program will prepare students to be proficient in science.

This Open House is designed for district administrators, school principals, lead teachers, science and curriculum coordinators, science committee members, school board members, and PTA members.

On display will be all of the teacher guides, student resource books, student equipment kits, and FOSS CA technology.

You can select a teacher guide and student book to keep, sign up for a staff presentation or demonstration lesson with your students at your school, and network with science educators in the greater Bay Area.

Teachers see it in their students’ eyes, and hear it whispered around the room. The wonderful message is "We’re doing science now!"
