Twig Science lessons can be taught using a digital version of the Twig Book (student workbook), which allows students to fill in answers directly into their digital copy on their computer or tablet. You can assign digital lessons to students who will then be alerted to the task when they log in to Twig Science.
There are two ways to assign lessons:
- Via the lessons page, where you can assign an individual lesson and share it via a URL, Google Classroom, or Microsoft Teams.
- Via the Driving Questions page, where you can assign multiple lessons simultaneously.
To assign and share an individual lesson:
- Log in to Twig Science Elementary.
- Use the Lesson Explorer to navigate from a grade level to a module to a Driving Question.
- Click a lesson tile in the Full Course Lessons, Fast Track Lessons, or Twig Coach Lessons section of the Driving Question page.
- The lesson opens; click Assign and Share underneath the lesson's title.
- A pop-up window opens with a list of your students. Verify/select the applicable class and language (English or Spanish) from the drop-down menus in the top right corner. (The class menu only displays if you have more than 1 class.)
- Select the All Students box to assign the lesson to the whole class, or select 1 or multiple students by selecting the box by their name. Then click Assign.
Lessons will now appear on the students' dashboard. -
Optional: A number of sharing options become available at the bottom of the window once you've assigned the lesson. Click on the applicable button to get started.
- Share via URL link
- Share via Microsoft Teams
- Share via Google Classroom
Note
When you use the Share via URL link option, students must be logged in to Twig Science in order for the URL to work.

To assign all or multiple lessons within a Driving Question:

- A pop-up window opens with a table showing a list of your students and a column for each lesson in the DQ. Verify/select the applicable class and language (English or Spanish) from the drop-down menus in the top right corner. (The class menu only displays if you have more than 1 class.)

For each lesson you want to assign, select the All Students box to assign the lesson to the whole class, or select 1 or multiple students by selecting the box by their name. Then click Save Changes.
