OpenSciEd HS’s reversible reactions unit on ocean chemistry has three unique foci: 1) engineering, 2) math with scale, proportion, and quantity, and 3) relevance to students. Students use stoichiometry and acid-base […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
