OpenSciEd High School addresses all high school NGSS standards. This comprehensive science curriculum empowers students to question, design, investigate, and solve the world around them.
Level 5–6 is divided into three activity sections: algebra, proportional reasoning, and integer activities. Each section begins with an Anchor Activity followed by five or six further explorations and extensions that are connected in some way to the Anchor.
Adventures in Algebra focuses on describing patterns and relationships with symbols and evaluating expressions and e
EARTH & SPACE SCIENCE-Students begin this module by using their senses to observe and describe the weather around them. From their sensory observations, students identify patterns, such as seasonal changes, and general weather conditions. Because sensory data usually are not accurate, students use tools, such as thermometers, rain gauges, and wind speed indicators, to describe weather conditions accurately. Teams of students use the tools to collect data of changes in the weather over time and then use their data to describe and compar
The OpenSciEd elementary science program aligns with all NGSS standards for elementary education.
Something Fishy poses an ill-structured problem that will lead students in grades 6-8 into an interdisciplinary study about several individual system and their interactions. The content of the unit focuses on the various systems involved in the pollution of a local body of water: the aquatic ecosystem, chemical reaction systems, government systems, and economic systems. Students are challenged to grapple with real-world concerns and develop recommendations through simulation activities based on the scientific process.
