		<description>Science Companion, a PreK-6 inquiry science curriculum, has recently developed a free online pilot program via a wiki site. 

Since schools have both limited time and financial resources these days, we decided to help them by developing an online pilot site in which they can download sample lessons from several of our modules and try them out in their classrooms. We just send them their kit of hands-on materials and student resources. What we’re most excited about is the potential for online conversation and collaboration between teachers who are trying out our materials, who may not necessarily be within the same district, or state. 

We feel that this can provide teachers with a “snapshot” of what our curriculum has to offer, and engage them with other teachers using the program, giving ample support from both us and other teachers as needed.</description>
