SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY-This module places emphasis on the processes of technological design as students investigate the size, shape, and strength of various structures. Students determine what shapes make a structure strong and steady and identify the design elements of structures they find in their local environment. In this way, students learn that changing the shape of a material can affect its strength and that joining materials together in certain ways does so as well.
The OpenSciEd elementary science program aligns with all NGSS standards for elementary education.
The Pathways to Empower elementary collection of sequential teacher resources begins with an engaging look at neuroscience, helping students build a strong understanding of how their brains work. That knowledge then comes to life through lessons on social relationships and the four key parts of mental health literacy. Each grade-level resource offers evidence-based strategies to strengthen resilience, encourage connection, and promote positive mental health in a fun and meaningful way.
