Built on current research

OpenSciEd’s OER program was designed from the ground up for Framework-based standards, like the NGSS. This design was validated for each unit by NextGenScience and across the program by EdReports.

Student-directed, teacher facilitated

Kiddom OpenSciEd inspires students to investigate the world around them, and educators facilitate this journey towards a comprehensive understanding of science. Carefully chosen phenomena spark curiosity and drive student inquiries, leading to a deeper conceptual understanding. Teachers play a crucial role in eliciting and coordinating these ideas, fostering collaboration, and guiding investigations.

Accessible and relevant

Instructional routines are created to ensure that every student's voice is valued in the process of learning science, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment for each student. Unit field tests show that more than 90% of students felt that their science learning was relevant to their lives.
