For Faculty

McGraw-Hill invites faculty to integrate AccessScience into your science instruction. The resources on this page will assist you. Here you will find a wealth of Curriculum Maps, a handy search widget to embed in your web pages, instructional videos, correlations to Next Generation Science Standards, and a link with answers to "Test Your Understanding" questions in AccessScience articles.


Distance Learning Support

As we continue to monitor the spread of COVID-19 and its global impact, we realize the need for remote support has drastically increased, and we are here to help. McGraw Hill has created this useful guide that shows how AccessScience can support faculty in shifting from in-person to virtual classrooms.


AccessScience Curriculum Maps

These Curriculum Maps guide you to highly relevant and engaging content from throughout AccessScience for use in your teaching. These maps have been designed by leading science and engineering faculty, who have carefully selected useful content, such as tables, graphs, diagrams, photos, animations, and videos, and then mapped that content to standard topics taught within each course. You can easily incorporate this content into your curriculum by using the “Copy Link” functionality to paste a direct link into your school's learning management system.
