New Kindergarten Quality Unit Posted In this kindergarten Great Minds unit, students make sense of how tugboats maneuver massive ships through crowded harbors. Students use several models to investigate the effects of stronger and weaker pushes and pulls. Students draw on their new knowledge to investigate how to prevent a tugboat from bouncing too far from its dock. They design, test, and improve a dock cushion as a solution. The unit was reviewed by NextGenScience's cadre of expert reviewers. See the unit and the corresponding EQuIP Rubric for Science evaluation report here.
