The COVID-19 Pandemic is a clear example of how science and society are connected. This unit explores how different communities are differentially impacted by the virus through the lens of historical inequities in society. In the context of decisions their families make, students explore the basics of how the virus affects people, and design investigations to explore how it spreads from person to person, and what we can do to prevent that spread.
The OpenSciEd elementary science program aligns with all NGSS standards for elementary education.
EARTH & SPACE SCIENCE-This module continues students' investigations of earth materials--soils, rocks, and water--that began in Level 1. In this module, students build on their understanding of the properties of soil, rocks, and water by investigating changes on the surface of Earth due to weathering and erosion. They learn about land forms and how those land forms change over time because of the interactions among soil, rocks, water, and wind. Students construct and use stream tables to investigate the flow of water over Earth's surfa
