OpenSciEd’s beliefs about science learning and vision of the classroom are embodied in our Design Specifications. The Specifications describe what we want science learning to look like for every student, and therefore guide our materials development process and implementation support.

The topics addressed range from equitable science instruction and the centrality of asking questions to meeting the practical needs and constraints of a classroom.

While each grade band in OpenSciEd has it’s own set of design specifications, they all are based on A Framework for K-12 Science Education and the resulting Next Generation Science Standards, including the emphasis on three-dimensional learning that integrates science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and disciplinary core ideas.
