What this Report Covers

The report provides a comprehensive examination of the current and future landscape of the market for scientific instructional materials in the K-12 grades. Among the key issues covered are an examination of the specific drivers for the rate of growth; the impact of digital on print; alignment of materials to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS); the growth of supplemental materials; the increasing usage of OER and teacher-created materials; how districts are integrating STEM learning; why the trend towards inquiry-based learning is changing the needs of this market; and news and developments from key companies serving this sector.

Key Findings

Among the key findings examined and analyzed in this report are a forecast growth of 7.1% for this market in 2022-2023, and a continued, though slower growth for 2023-2024. The report also reveals that 20 states and the District of Columbia have adopted the NGSS standards, while 28 others have adopted their own standard, which are informed by the same Framework. The K-12 Science Market report also reveals that fewer than 20% of materials in use in classrooms are aligned to these newer standards.

Key Trends Discussed

Several significant trends and developments are explored and analyzed in the report. Among them are the increasing in the use of supplemental materials in the classroom-with an increasing number of those materials created via Open Educational Resources (OER) or developed by the teachers themselves.
