#NSTA23 – Why Are Oysters Dying and How Can We Use Chemistry to Protect Them? Using Chemistry to Solve ESS Problem

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

OpenSciEd HSā€™s reversible reactions unit on ocean chemistry has three unique foci: 1) engineering, 2) math with scale, proportion,Ā and quantity, and 3) relevance to students. Students use stoichiometry and acid-base reactions to make sense and design solutions to prevent oyster die off. TAKEAWAYS: This unit supports students as they figure out understandings of reversible reactions […]

#NSTA23 – Turn Up the Discussion – Increasing the Quality and Quantity of Discussion in the Science Classroom

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

Discussion is how a classroom community makes sense of what it is investigating. But for that to happen, students need to actually be talking. Learn strategies for planning discussions, ensuring equitable access, and teacher moves to guide the conversation. It's time to get your students talking! TAKEAWAYS: Discussion is the way that a classroom community […]

#NSTA23 – Microwaves: Introducing the OpenSciEd HS Electromagnetic Radiation Unit

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

OpenSciEd HS Physics units use a storyline approach to help students figure out answers to their questions in a three-dimensional, coherent, and equitable way. In this session, participants will experience that approach firsthand as they engage with the fifth unitā€™s anchor in ""student hat"", a unit anchored in the use of the microwave and its […]

#NSTA23 – The OpenSciEd High School Assessment System

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

Explore the comprehensive assessment system that accompanies the OpenSciEd high school program. This comprehensive system includes opportunities for formative, summative, self, and peer assessment. The session will guide participants through the multiple assessment types and will explore in-depth electronic exit tickets and transfer tasks. Electronic exit tickets give teachers an opportunity to formatively assess students' […]

#NSTA23 – Meeting the Challenges of Math & Computation with OpenSciEd HS

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

OpenSciEd HS engages students with complex, flexible, and purposeful mathematical thinking to meet the NGSS. We illustrate how NGSS practices 4 and 5 (analyzing data and math) are central and supported as students develop explanations, models, and solutions in chemistry and physics. TAKEAWAYS: Leveraging data analysis and mathematical thinking in the context of meaningful phenomena […]

#NSAT23 – Equitable Discussions of Nature-Culture Relationships: OpenSciEd Biology

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

Expand the socio-ecological thinking you bring to science phenomena using frameworks from Learning in Places. Experience examples of how these frameworks are part of the OpenSciEd biology course. TAKEAWAYS: Recognize your own positionality in nature-culture relations and think about how to bring this framework to your students. SPEAKERS: Sara Krauskopf (Educational Consultant), Kate Henson (University […]

#NSTA23 – What is it Like to Teach with OpenSciEd High School? A Teachers’ Panel Discussion

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

When using OpenSciEd, it is a challenge to help students not only figure out science ideas, but how to work together and support each other. This panel of classroom teachers will explore how to build community in order to help students build rich scientific understandings. TAKEAWAYS: Participants will understand how community agreements and other strategies […]

#NSTA23 – Questions and Crosscutting Concepts: How Can We Support Students in Asking Good Questions?

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

The Framework requires that students engage in three-dimensional sensemaking around phenomena. In OpenSciEd units, this begins with the anchor lesson, in which students engage with a phenomenon in supported ways before generating the questions that drive the unit. Many teachers wonder how we get students to ask questions that align with the learning goals of […]

#NSTA23 – Does Coherence Perspective Matter? Examining a Comparison of 5E and Storylines Curricula on Studentsā€™ Academic Achievement and Attitudes Toward Science

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

A study of eighth grade students' academic achievement and attitudes toward science were evaluated before and after they experienced two different curricula. They differed in who experiences coherence; mySci 5E (teacher) and OpenSciEd storylines (student). Results of the study will be discussed. TAKEAWAYS: Participants will hear about the results of the study and potential impacts […]

#NSTA23 – Working Smarter Not Harder — Grading That’s Good for Students and Teachers

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

Grading that supports student sensemaking doesn't have to keep you at school all night. Learn approaches to grading that prioritize 3-D sensemaking and utilize technology, collaboration, and existing resources so you can have your evenings back. TAKEAWAYS: The process of giving feedback and assigning grades is easier when there are strong materials and assessments to […]

#NSTA23 – Engaging in Argumentation Around Complex Socioscientific Decision-Making: Using the Learning in Places Framework in OpenSciEd High School Physics

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

The Framework calls for students to engage in argumentation from evidence in a way that considers relevant social, ethical, and environmental tradeoffs that cannot be resolved without considering the values of interested parties. As educators, we need to honor studentsā€™ diverse experiences and value systems while also engaging students in the process of respectful scientific […]

#NSTA23 – Designing for Justice with Attention to Social and Emotional Learning in OpenSciEd HS Physics

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

"Designing for justice means centering inquiry on phenomena that cross the artificial boundary between human and natural systems. The result is instruction that not only teaches students to understand the natural world, but broadens their perspectives on how humans fit into natural systems, what constitutes science, and what they can accomplish using science. In high […]
