Design Guide
Decode Science is designed with the realities of classrooms today in mind. Diverse learning profiles, large class sizes, and limited time make one on one instruction for every student difficult to sustain.
This page explains how the platform is structured and how teachers use it to supplement classroom instruction.
Teacher Dashboard
Assign content, manage student access, and view learning patterns across your class.
Student Dashboard
A predictable and focused space that reduces decision making and supports independent learning.
How Each Unit Is Structured
Units are organized to reflect how science is taught and assessed. Language, concepts, skills, and calculations are treated as distinct learning components. Some units include additional skill sets that are essential for that specific content, such as naming compounds in chemistry. These skills are grouped separately so they can be taught and supported intentionally.
This makes it easier to see where understanding breaks down and where support is most effective.
Targeted Support Without Reteaching
Separating learning components allows support to be precise and intentional rather than broad review.
Vocabulary as the Foundation
Scientific language often assumes background knowledge that many students do not yet have.
Vocabulary support makes meaning explicit and reduces hidden expectations in scientific tasks.
Student Access Designed for Classrooms
Students log in using a username and password only. Access can be reset instantly from the teacher dashboard.
This reduces lost instructional time and supports quick whole class use.
