Three New High-Quality High School Units Posted
In the OpenSciEd P.3 Collisions &
Momentum unit, students analyze vehicle collision statistics and models and
examine the motion of vehicles stopping suddenly as part of an engineering task to reduce injury risks. The unit was awarded the NGSS Design Badge by NextGenScience's cadre of expert reviewers
See the free unit and the corresponding EQuIP Rubric for Science evaluation report here.
The OpenSciEd P.4 Meteors, Orbits, & Gravity unit is anchored in the phenomenon of the Chelyabinsk meteor, which appeared as a large fireball over Siberia in 2013. This phenomenon provides a compelling context for investigating how and why objects from space sometimes collide with Earth. The unit was awarded the NGSS Design Badge by NextGenScience’s Peer Review Panel.
