[OpenSciEd @OpenSciEd]

At #OpenSciEd, we are incredibly grateful for the passionate, dedicated teachers who bring science to life in their classrooms!💫 Every day, you do far more than teach lessons — you ignite curiosity, spark wonder, and cultivate confidence in the next generation of scientists.

Your work is at the heart of everything we do at #OpenSciEd. Because of you, more students than ever see themselves as scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers.

From all of us: THANK YOU for your unwavering commitment to your students and all you do to build a more curious, informed, and hopeful future! ❤️🚀

Learning about- How to customize curriculum to increase relevance for students. With @ReneeAffolter from @OpenSciEd.

[Nick Wright @Wright_GHS]

My focus today at @NSTA was elementary science. I got to take a deep look at the pre-released @OpenSciEd curriculum, which has the potential to align our K-5 and 6-12 science programs, resulting in one cohesive K-12 curriculum.

What is phenomena-based sensemaking?

✅ Providing real-world events that motivate learning.
✅ Students' questions about those events drive learning.
✅ Materials provide structure and support to help students figure out the phenomenon.

"Students are willing to answer questions because they know they don't need to have the right answer. They know we'll figure it out together!"

Phenomena-based learning helps us meet our vision for science education because it,
✅ Values student knowledge and experience.
✅ Positions students to make sense of the world around them.
✅ Deep 3-D learning doesn't slip away after a test.

There's a lot of exciting discussion in "I can't wait for science class" as teachers discuss the "why" behind their investment and interest in 3D phenomena-based learning! 🤩
