[13] In addition to the NGSS, Twig Science also covers California’s Common Core Standards in English Language, Arts, Literacy, and Math.

On the digital platform, teachers and students can access science videos, interactive games and quizzes, and other teaching material.

It is a resource for secondary schools offered as a subscription package that includes science videos and learning materials.

These resources are also aimed at school use, with film streaming, lesson plans, activity suggestions, and interactive features available online.

[20] Tigtag is Twig Education's product for primary and elementary schools, designed to support the teaching of KS2 science and its global equivalents.

Tigtag offers background knowledge for teachers, lesson planning ideas, and multimedia content for the classroom.

The program is championed by Imperial's Professor of Science and Society, Lord Robert Winston, and all resources are free to primary school teachers in the UK.

[23] An evaluation of Glow Science was carried out by the SCRE Centre and the School of Education at the University of Glasgow, with their final report being released in April 2011.

The evaluation was commissioned by Learning Teaching Scotland and was conducted between October 2010 and February 2011, with part of its remit being to ascertain the extent to which Glow Science resources were supporting teachers and helping to engage pupils.

In early 2012, Twig Education partnered with Benesse Corporation of Japan, with films in Japanese being made available to students from April 2012.
