What is OpenSciEd?

OpenSciEd offers high-quality, locally adaptable, full-course curriculum that supports equitable science learning. It consists of phenomenon-based, three-dimensional units that prioritize student coherence and equitable science sensemaking. Throughout the units, students develop their ability to solve problems, ask and answer questions, and argue from evidence.
