Grade 5 Science | Texas | Supplemental
Your Grade 5 science scores can change.
You do not need to replace your science program to start seeing results.
ADI gives Grade 5 teachers eight TEKS-aligned, hands-on investigations that can be added to what they are already teaching, so campuses can strengthen science instruction this school year.

Grade 5 Science, Spring 2025 to Spring 2026. Approximately 120 fifth graders tested each year. Texas scores also increased statewide during this period, while the surrounding district remained relatively flat. Results are based on publicly available TEA STAAR campus data.
No new core program. No starting over.
The eight investigations fit alongside what your teachers already use and give students repeated opportunities to investigate, analyze evidence, explain their thinking, and defend their ideas.

And we are here to help
We are here in Texas.
ADI is based in Austin. If a teacher gets stuck, wants a walkthrough before the first investigation, or your campus wants training for the whole team, you are working with a team here in Texas.

From learning it to actually doing science
Students do not just read about science or answer questions about it. They investigate phenomena, gather evidence, make sense of their findings, and use that evidence to defend their thinking.
That is the kind of thinking students need when they are asked to apply what they know on STAAR.
Start with one campus. Start this year.
ADI is supplemental, so you do not have to wait for a new adoption or replace what teachers are already using.
