Grant Description:
I am requesting funding to help support the OpenSciEd curriculum launch for grades 6-8 at Hingham Middle School. Our 6-8 grade science students have been exploring various scientific phenomena in their OpenSciEd units. Open Sci Ed is an innovative, high-quality fully developed curriculum that is currently available for grades 6 -8. The Open Sci Ed curriculum aligns with the Next Generation of Science Standards (NGSS) and the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. This program was developed using research on how students learn and what motivates them to learn. This curriculum encourages students to be actively involved in science talks, the collection and analysis of scientific data, and designing solutions to real-life problems.
