Exploring data is how scientists gain knowledge about natural phenomena. With Tuva, it can be the way students gain knowledge too!
Tuva’s intuitive data and graphing tools free up time, so you can let students’ curiosity drive their investigations. As their thinking progresses, students can refine and remake graphs.
Our real-world datasets help students make connections between what they are learning and how it is relevant to themselves and their communities.
We curate datasets from local, national, and international agencies and researchers to make them classroom-accessible.
Using our activities, students learn about phenomena from the patterns they discover in the data. Our data stories provide targeted practice with skills such as asking questions or writing a CER paragraph.
Find a dataset pertaining to the standard you’re teaching, then use our activity builder to write your lesson.
Use Tuva’s data upload feature to add rigor to your science instruction.
Enliven Background Research
Science knowledge builds upon what is already known. But, background research can be pretty dull. With Tuva,
students can dynamically explore data collected by other scientists.
Elevate your Lab Experiences
Scientists and engineers work with large datasets. To prep students, we need them looking at more than three
trials’
worth of data. Use Google or One Drive to create a classwide spreadsheet. It’s easy to upload the data into Tuva
and share the interactive dataset with your class.
Tuva is flexible. You can:
Tuva lessons are most powerful when students are in the drivers’ seat, so we recommend small group or individual work. However, they can be projected onto an interactive whiteboard and used to launch whole-group discussions.
I love the flexibility of Tuva. I can use it for a stand-alone lesson, a launch pad for a new concept or discussion, or as a reinforcement activity.

Tuva allows students to not only look at their own group's data, but data from 45 different groups from 5 different periods. Students learn to identify patterns, outliers, and relationships between variables and why scientists prefer larger sample sizes!

Tuva frees up tedious class time needed to create graphs and allows students to focus more on analyzing their data.

Stumbling across Tuva was one of my favorite finds of the year.

It is not just another flashy simulation, it can become a part of how we teach science,
