OpenSciEd High School

Grade Levels: High School

OVERVIEW

OpenSciEd®​ was launched to improve the supply of and address the demand for high-quality, open-source, full course science instructional materials. The goals of OpenSciEd are to ensure any science teacher, anywhere, can access and download freely available, high quality, locally adaptable materials and that all students can excel in and outside the classroom. In an effort to lower barriers for all educators to use OpenSciEd materials, Kendall Hunt and OpenSciEd have partnered to sell high-quality print books. Professional learning and lab kits will be coming soon.
