As part of the state's approved Adopted Science Instructional Materials List, Propello's inquiry-driven middle school science curriculum has been endorsed by the Oregon State Board of Education.. A list of High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) is provided for the purpose of providing equitable access to first-class learning experiences for all students and classrooms by establishing a list of HQIM. A Texas-based edtech startup, Propellero offers an affordable teaching and learning platform that includes hands-on labs, activities, and project-based learning that can be customized by teachers to meet the individual needs of their students to create more engaging and personalized learning experiences.. The latest updated science materials are expected to be implemented in Oregon classrooms by the fall of 2024.

According to Oregon's Adopted Science Instructional Materials List, each of the tools and materials that have been adopted into classrooms have been subjected to a thorough review process and have been determined to be compatible with the state's science standards, culturally sensitive, and based on evidence.. Using the 5E model of instruction, Propello provides districts and teachers with the keys to unlock student-centered and inquiry-driven learning for their students. As a result of this, curiosity and engagement are built, ensuring that students are active participants in the learning process. The students explore, investigate, and build real-world applications of knowledge through a variety of avenues as they work collaboratively and individually to develop understanding through a variety of avenues

"We are delighted to be a part of the state's adopted materials list and to be able to provide teachers with engaging, inquiry-driven materials at a price that virtually any district can afford," said Hubert Kjellberg, Founder and CEO of Propello. That is what Propello is all about - it is all about giving students the opportunity to build knowledge and understanding through curiosity and engagement, rather than lectures and memorization."
A strong foundation in science, rooted in curiosity, has never been more important, said Amanda Bratten, Vice President of Content and Curriculum at Propello and a former teacher. The reason why we do science is not only because our students can gain skills and competencies as a result of doing science, but also because we can utilize the knowledge gained through exploring our world to engage more deeply in other areas of interest and subjects.
In relation to inquiry-based learning, according to the 2022 Oregon Science Standards, "Research shows that a cultural perspective can transform learning experiences so that they are more engaging and meaningful for learners." In addition to learning about a science topic, we are now learning about why or how something happens. This is a fundamental shift from studying the topic of science to figuring out why or how something occurs."
