The Student Mathematician’s Journal presents simulated or real-life problems that encourage students to think, write, and read like mathematicians. They are asked to reflect on what they have learned and communicate in writing on worksheets.
In this unit, students explore two-dimensional shapes and in doing so, discover properties of these shapes rather than memorize definitions given to them.
The OpenSciEd elementary science program aligns with all NGSS standards for elementary education.
This module builds on children's prior experiences with balls and how they move. Children focus on two themes: the properties and characteristics of balls and some of the factors that affect the way balls behave.
Children begin by comparing how a wide variety of balls roll and bounce; next they construct balls out of clay and many other materials; and then they explore the movement of different balls as the balls roll down ramps, through tubes, and around bends.
This module, designed to be used for a season or throughout the year, begins with a trip outside to observe and describe the weather. Students then focus their attention on four elements of weather: cloud cover, temperature, wind, and rain.
Using their senses and simple tools, they describe, measure, and record data about each element and consider the impact of each on the environment. Students also use their data to make charts and look for patterns across days
