Level Up Science Learning for All Students

Motivate and empower students to excel and fall in love with science using Penda Learning’s gamified science activities for grades 3 through biology — hand crafted for NGSS and state standards.

Make Science a Game — In School and at Home

Penda’s 900+ standards-aligned, game-based science activities and PhET interactive simulations bring inquiry, fun and rigor to learning. Because Penda is fully online, instruction is uninterrupted by hybrid or distance learning.

Ensure Excellent Science Instruction — Even with Vacancies and Subs

Our unique Pacing Assistance Service (PAS) customizes Penda’s online game-based learning activities to your specific scope and sequence — then auto-assigns them to students to lighten teachers’ workload.

Support Student Growth with Insightful, Easy-to-Use Data

Penda’s automated reports provide the data you need to monitor progress, differentiate instruction, and target interventions within an RTI or MTSS framework, even when students are learning from home.

Penda Learning Gets Results

As we reviewed options for online science curriculum, Penda really stood out. It checks all the boxes in terms of meeting content alignment, data privacy, and interoperability standards, and it saves teachers time with auto assignments based on our curriculum scope and sequence. We ultimately chose Penda because the activities and simulations not only help students master science content, but also spark real and genuine interest and inspiration in science that could last a lifetime.

Penda was a way to ensure that kids could get the science content that they needed and it would lighten the load for teachers. Teachers could either use Penda within the day, as a teaching tool, or they could provide small group instruction with students on their computers. With Penda they could also use it as a homework assignment. We knew kids could get good quality science learning, and instruction and it would take some of the pressure off the teachers for reading and math.

For our school, in particular, science has been a push. Our science scores in the past – in 8th grade and 5th grade – have been terrible. And part of that is that students in our school struggle with reading. So, reading will kind of ‘eat’ science and social studies. So we started to push science departmentalization. So what Penda has done is allow us during the pandemic time for the kids to have a fun, engaging option, when their teacher isn’t instructing for science. Not only does it supplement the Florida standards that are going to be assessed, but the kids really dig the games and things. It’s served a lot of purposes for us.

To have something that is aligned that engages students really just felt like a natural fit.

Teachers [said] Penda really made life easy, and I saw the results in my classroom –– that kids were able to show or re-learn something that maybe they didn’t get before.
