Overview:
Science that is driven by investigation and student-centered learning is key to engagement and success. BetterLesson shares OpenSciEd’s belief that all students should have access to resources and instruction that prepare them for an ever-changing world. We also believe that engaging, authentic investigative experiences are foundational to developing key skills in a student-centered science classroom. Often, science classes are a space where teachers hold the knowledge and use experiments to deepen learning. OpenSciEd provides a new approach to science education by transferring the process to the students, allowing them to drive the learning through questioning, discussion, sensemaking, and investigation. BetterLesson supports Science educators in implementing this curriculum in a way that drives student ownership of their learning.
