Hands On: Real-World Lessons for Middle School Classrooms is a great program for middle school students and teachers. This comprehensive curriculum integrates all the major subjects and meets state standards for math, science, language arts, and social studies. Best of all, it's free for your school! Through USDA funding and corporate sponsorships all the materials and supplies needed to implement Hands On is provided free of charge.

Hands On was developed by a former middle school teacher, and it uses researched based practices to help students learn and retain all of the information. Another benefit of the Hands On program is it aids in the professional development of the teachers involved. All the teaching techniques used in Hands On are research based and can be applied to any subject matter.
