Curriculum
With an all-green rating from EdReports, you can be confident that our high quality middle school program is aligned to meet modern science standards, engage students in practices that drive their learning, and give you the guidance needed to maximize the impact of the curriculum in your classroom.
Building the Next Generation of Scientists
We’ve made our curriculum free for all educators because high quality instructional materials and professional learning can bridge the opportunity gap for all students. The units underwent a rigorous 18-month development process with teacher and student voices across the country informing the selection of the phenomena and each unit’s storyline. Using our curriculum, teachers have seen their students strengthen their ability to solve problems, become more curious about the world around them, and be excited to discover the wonders of science in their classrooms.
Learn Alongside a Community of OpenSciEd Teachers
Early bird pricing available through April 10.
The Middle School Teacher Academy: Foundations provides an ongoing professional learning experience where teachers learn with a community of educators implementing OpenSciEd! Through collaborative discussions, shared problem-solving, and facilitated reflection, teachers examine classroom practice, student thinking, and instructional decisions together. This community-centered approach allows teachers to deepen their understanding of the curriculum while learning from peers facing similar classroom opportunities and challenges. Over time, teachers refine their practice, strengthen their instructional decision-making, and build connections with a network of educators committed to supporting student sensemaking in science.
Explore Our Computer Science Integrated Units
Exciting news! The OpenSciEd Middle School science program now includes integrated computer science units! Too many students never get the chance to learn computer science because it’s often relegated to electives or after-school programs. We’re changing that. Our computer science-integrated science units embed coding and technology into the core science curriculum, providing students with early exposure to problem-solving and design thinking within the context of real-world scientific phenomena!
