OpenSciEd Chemistry’s 2nd unit explores why lightning strikes and how we can protect ourselves. Learn how students build understanding of atomic structure through modeling, investigations, and patterns of thinking.

TAKEAWAYS:
This unit supports students as they figure out understandings of atomic structure, charge, and the role of matter, forces, and energy in lightning. Participants will see how students build these ideas through a series of investigations.
