#NSTA23 – Equity and Social Justice in Space: Visioning Culturally Sustaining Astronomy Education (Using an Example from OpenSciEd Middle School)

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

In this workshop, we will work through the "anchoring phenomenon" from the OpenSciEd Middle School space unit, which helps students see the relevance of astronomy by drawing on traditional indigenous astronomy knowledge and students' own cultural knowledge, to engage students in identifying and explaining patterns in the sky that set the rhythm for our lives. […]

#NSTA23 – Supporting Preservice and New Teachers to Understand & Implement the NGSS

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

The NGSS changed how we prepare and support preservice and novice teachers. Now, publicly available materials can make this real. This session will explore how High-Quality Instructional Materials can be leveraged to support teacher sensemaking around the three dimensions of the NGSS. TAKEAWAYS: Ideas for ways use HQIM to help teachers understand and implement the […]

#NSTA23 – It’s Electric! Figuring Out the Structure and Properties of Matter Through Lightning

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

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 […]

#NSTA23 – Co-design as a strategy for developing high quality instructional materials that support coherence from the students’ perspective in OpenSciEd High School Physics

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

Over the past decade, researchers and practitioners have been calling for more attention to coherence from the student perspective as a key part of curriculum design. This type of coherence arises when students see what they do in the science classroom as productive for addressing meaningful questions and problems. A curriculum that is coherent from […]

#NSAT23 – The Matter-Energy-Forces Triangle: A Common Approach to Make Sense of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Earth Science in OpenSciEd

OpenSciEdGraphic-FINAL-White-Background-01

Many students experience high school science without considering the interconnectedness of different domains. By leveraging the Energy and Matter crosscutting concept and uniting this lens with a forces perspective, we consider how a Matter-Energy-Forces (MEF) triangle can help students apply core principles of physical science across multiple domains. We explore the MEF triangle’s use in […]
