Expeditions in Science

A groundbreaking science curriculum developed by Texas museums, built for Texas classrooms.

Created by educators and scientists from the Witte Museum and Space Center Houston, this program transforms how students explore, discover, and understand the world around them. Through hands-on investigations, outdoor explorations, real-world specimens, and interactive digital content, students learn to think—and do—science like real scientists.

Built for Texas Teachers

Expeditions in Science is designed to meet the urgent and growing need for high-quality, inquiry-based science education in Texas.
‍
Why teachers love it:
- 100% TEKS-aligned to the 2024 Science TEKS and new STAAR assessment
- Phenomenon-driven lessons that spark questions and critical thinking
- Hands-on activities with optional classroom kits or school-sourced materials
- Easy-to-use digital platform with step-by-step teacher guides
- Integrated science and engineering practices (SEPs), recurring themes and concepts (RTCs), and ELPs all in one place and in every lesson
- Bilingual content and outdoor learning extensions included

What Makes It Museum-Powered?

Students explore authentic museum content—videos, images, and digital interactives—paired with investigations of phenomena and real-world problem solving. The result is a curriculum that bridges science, art, culture, and history through:
- Real specimens and artifacts from Texas collections
- Videos featuring museum scientists and educators
- Place-based investigations rooted in local ecosystems and experiences
- Interdisciplinary connections that make science meaningful and relevant

I wish I could have this type of lesson every day! I learned more than I think I've learned in a year!
