Hey y'all. Anyone else out there being mandated to teach OpenSciEd? What do you think? Cards on the table... I'm not a fan. Help me see why I'm wrong - or not alone. Thanks

It's just your curriculum resources like any other resource types. Positives: vetted and designed by teachers, provides all print resources including slides to walk through process with a mix of group, independent and partner activities, and it is phenomenon and discovery based. The main negative is that it can be very overwhelming to dive into. I would assume your school has a plan to order supplies which a few companies will do for you as kits for each unit. I wish you luck and to be honest my district has somehow operates with zero curriculum plans or resources so be thankful.

My issue with Op Sci Ed as a neuro specialist is that it does not grade on any based criteria required for science based experimentation - which is really all grading is once it is broken down. A sampling of 4 questions as all testing for an entire term would be laughed out of any peer reviewed science journal. Science should follow science........kind of a criteria for teaching it.

What is that?

I don’t know what that is, but based on what you said, it doesn’t sound good.

I've heard good things about it. Can you adapt it to a more discovery based approach?

We like adding the Explore Learning Gizmos which are a variety of math and science related simulations. They are open-ended and flexible as far as grade level.

We use it at my middle school and my teachers love it.

We started back in August in distance learning mode, core subjects only. So no STEM classes. One of our 8th grade teachers was out on maternity leave, so I was asked to take that spot for the first semester. I was a long time 5th grade teacher, so not a difficult adjustment, except for learning new to me digital curriculum.

I have 2 STEM classes for the second quarter. Still online, so my focus is on coding.

Wondering what other STEM teachers are doing online?
