Scholastic Digital resources offer young patrons of all ages the opportunity to interact with age-appropriate content to strengthen their technology and digital media capabilities.

Scholastic Digital resources offer parents quality educational and skill-building content for their young children’s device time.

Scholastic Digital resources are always credible, accurate, and reliable, therefore helping librarians to direct patrons to valid, age-appropriate resources.

As both formal and informal learning

environments, public libraries are at the forefront of

ensuring equitable access to quality digital resources

for all members of the community. The need for

public libraries to address this digital divide and

knowledge gap is more important than ever.

Information and technology skills have become

essential for developing a competitive workforce,

and as school budgets continue to shrink, more

and more districts are turning to their libraries for

shared resources.

Our intuitive and easy-to-navigate products are

web-based and accessible from anywhere, at

anytime, to an unlimited amount of patrons, in an

effort to help you ensure that age and reading

level-appropriate content is available to all levels

of learners in the library.

The periodic table is a system for organizing all the known chemical elements. An element’s position depends on how many protons are in its nucleus (its atomic number) and its chemical properties.

667014 Photo © Alex Belomlinsky/iStockphoto

*Standard atomic weights are official values provided by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Atomic weight is the relative average mass of the atoms of a particular element in a substance. Atomic weights can vary in elements having two or more atoms with different atomic masses. If an element’s atoms are radioactive, an atomic mass of one of its atoms is listed in parentheses.
