Pallas offers Virtual Learning Kits aligned to
Next Generation Science Standards and
Common Core Standards
The Pallas Difference
Attain higher levels of knowledge
Saving the Omosans
Level 3: Use It
Able to use both declarative and explanatory knowledge for
new problems and real world situations
Levels of Knowledge by Method
Current Virtual Learning Kits
for Middle and High School
Level 2: Explain It
Explanatory knowledge about how things work and
why they work they way they do
Level 1: Repeat It
Textbook
Memorize and repeat declarative
knowledge
Lecture
Students collect data like real
biologists, run computer
experiments to make their
own discoveries, and report
their findings to their
classmates.
The Fall of Newton’s Apple
Students can now discover for
themselves many of Newton’s
ideas about gravitation by using
Pallas advanced computer
models and visualizations.
How Slow Does Your Electron Go?
Level 0: Observe It
Observations
Pieces of knowledge from prior life observations
and experiences of a student
Pallas is one of “Ten to Watch” global edtech startup companies.
- Outsell Ltd. (UK) 2016 report: Learning Science: Driving the Next Generation of
Educational Solutions
This is a very good way to learn science. It really, really is.
Students are physicists who study
the subatomic world of electrons
using Pallas advanced computer
visualizations. They run computer
experiments to understand what
electrons actually do in wires. What
they discover is surprising!
