McGraw Hill Science Interactives

Innovative Activities for Digital Learning

For Grades 6–12

Virtual Science Experiences for Middle School & High School

Introducing Interactives, exciting, virtual science experiences for your middle and high school students. McGraw Hill Interactives are engaging labs, simulations, and digital experiments that will bring your distance learning classroom to life. These fully online resources allow students to experience new scientific ideas in dramatic, visually appealing demonstrations.

Available 24/7 for remote or classroom learning— no lab space required
Easy-to-follow, on-screen instructions
Labs can be previewed before assigning them
Real-world scenarios are presented in a digital format

What are McGraw Hill Science Interactives?

These simulations help students learn the practical and conceptual skills needed to excel no matter where they are learning. Interactives provide experiences that range from demonstrations students could execute in a lab—like kinetic energy transformations—to unique at-home experiences that present models such as natural selection.

Interactives routinely provide feedback to students to guide their learning and save you time.

How do I use Interactives?

In the Classroom

Assign Interactives as preparation for classroom lab work to familiarize students with tools, procedures, and foundational concepts.
Enhance in-class lessons with dynamic labs to extend concepts beyond the limitations of the classroom.
Assign Interactives after a lesson to solidify new concepts or assess their understanding.

In Remote Learning

Assign Interactives before the lesson to engage students in the topic they are about to study.
Use Interactives as a teaching tool during synchronous instruction to explicitly teach challenging concepts in an engaging way.
Assign Interactives after a lesson to allow students to expand upon and demonstrate the new ideas they’ve learned.
