Stay sharp this summer with some brand new STEM skills on IXL! We’ve just released new science and math content that covers the water cycle, magnets, quadrilaterals, and more. Get all the details below, then head to IXL.com to get your summertime STEM on! 

New science skills

We’ve added new skills across grades 2 through 8, including skills on magnets, speed, the water cycle, adaptations, experiment design, and more. With these new skills, we’re giving students even more engaging, interactive ways to master key science concepts and helping them to think like scientists.

See the example below, then head to IXL to try the new skills for yourself.

Label parts of the water cycle (grades 5–8)

Students practice key vocabulary in this visual skill that shows diagrams of the water cycle in different landscapes, such as mountains, rainforests, and deserts.

New and updated math skills

With new and improved math skills across grades 3 through Geometry, there’s something for everyone this summer! Our new content helps students identify the different types of quadrilaterals (rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, and rhombuses) and build algebra readiness with linear equation word problems.

Check out this example, and explore all of the new skills on IXL.

Identify trapezoids (grades 3–8 and Geometry)
