Here for your students (and teachers, too!)

Biography Reference Source and Science Reference Source offer a variety of features and functionality to support student research success and productivity. Available through the Explora experience, they allow students to conduct keyword searches or browse categories and popular, colloquial or curriculum-based subtopics.

Curriculum support
By covering a wide range of topics at different Lexile levels, EBSCO’s Reference Sources satisfy the demand for standards-based content and differentiated instruction. The Curriculum Standards module, available in the sidebar, can help teachers quickly and easily correlate content to Common Core or state standards.

In addition, EBSCO has pre-written lesson plans and scavenger hunts to help teachers incorporate these databases in the classroom.
