A 7th-grade science teacher is frustrated with the Discovery Education curriculum, which is poorly designed, lacks materials for required labs, and has inefficient grading.

Workarounds Described

• Teacher gives everyone an A to avoid the tedious grading process
• Class votes on blueprints and attempts to levitate a pencil with bar magnets as a substitute for the required lab

Implied Software Gaps

• A grading feature that allows teachers to quickly review and score all student responses in one view
• A virtual lab environment that allows students to experiment with concepts like magnetism without needing physical materials

LabSim Science

A digital science curriculum platform that provides interactive, inquiry-based learning experiences with virtual labs, aligned to standards but designed by real teachers. It eliminates the need for expensive physical materials while still fostering curiosity and hands-on thinking through simulations.
