What is FOSS?
FOSS gives students the opportunity to think and act like scientists and engineers. UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science developed FOSS® for Indiana to present science the way students learn it, as they experience phenomena firsthand through active investigation. It’s why FOSS is proven to measurably improve test scores in districts across the country. Why FOSS?
Local districts already using FOSS:
Here are some of the schools and districts statewide that are using FOSS. To find out more, talk to your local FOSS representative.
Resources
The FOSS curriculum is designed as a laddered series of experiences that cumulatively develop not just knowledge, but scientific thinking across all three dimensions. Whether your district’s goal is to teach a phenomenon-based NGSS science curriculum while integrating Common Core State Standards in ELA and Math, or to generally embrace the vision of the Framework, you’ll find that the research-based FOSS curriculum with complete equipment kits is ideal for your elementary and middle school classrooms. Review the Indiana resources below and see for yourself why FOSS is the Full Option Science System that works for Indiana teachers and students.

Lifts up major metro districts
In LA, FOSS delivered massive test score improvement and then sustained it.
Boosts scores in diverse districts
When FOSS was adopted in a district scoring 17 points below standard, it completely closed the test-score gap in just 3 years
Elevates already high-performing districts
This district's test scores were already satisfactory. But after implementing FOSS, thosescores jumped up and stayed up.
Wins in head-to-head competition
In a pilot with 63 teachers in 15 schools, FOSS was the overwhelming winner on multiple criteria over a leading "designed for NGSS" competitor.
