Built for the Real Classroom

To bring about real and lasting transformation of science instruction, OpenSciEd materials are designed to be practical and realistic for educators to implement. Instructional materials help teachers plan and implement coherent three-dimensional learning experiences for all students in every activity, and include meaningful optional learning opportunities after specific points in a unit to motivate students to think, talk, and explore outside of school. Teachers are guided in using student work for grades while also providing meaningful feedback to students about their learning. Computational technology supports three-dimensional science learning, within school constraints. Students are provided with the greatest possible opportunity to engage in scientific and engineering practices with appropriate tools and techniques, within school constraints.
