FOSS is a research-based science curriculum for grades K—8 developed at the Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California at Berkeley. FOSS is also an ongoing project dedicated to improving the learning and teaching of science.

The FOSS program materials are designed to meet the challenge of providing meaningful science education for all students

The best way for students to appreciate the scientific enterprise, learn important scientific concepts, and develop the ability to think critically is to actively construct ideas through their own inquiries, investigations, and analysis. The FOSS program was created to engage students in these processes as they explore the natural world.
