Set sail on a journey through the newly released full elementary OpenSciEd curriculum—where young learners tackle real-world phenomena with brilliance and curiosity. In this session, we’ll dive into an instructional approach that supports all students in making sense of complex science ideas through coherent, phenomenon-driven storylines.
Participants will experience a taste of a 3rd grade unit —connecting you to the why and the how of 3-dimensional science teaching. We’ll explore key features of the curriculum and unpack how purposeful classroom discussion helps students make sense of science, not just memorize it. Come ready to explore, reflect, and imagine what’s possible when high-quality materials meet the brilliance of elementary learners.
