eiRxiv in the Classroom

At eiRxiv, we believe students develop their scientific voice by doing what scientists do: engaging with new ideas, honing their critical thinking skills, and sharing science with the world. We also know that science and education are community endeavors – and that teachers provide the power and guidance for students to practice authentic science. 

From NGSS-aligned lesson plans to student-friendly submission guides, eiRxiv’s team of expert science educators are committed to supporting teachers and students as they cultivate authentic science practices in the classroom.
