The Inquiry Project
The Inquiry Project takes a unique approach to a study of matter for grades 3–5, bringing together core ideas, scientific practices, and crosscutting concepts. The curriculum for each grade is built around a network of science concepts relevant to understanding matter and include ideas about material, weight, and volume. As they learn about the core idea of matter, students use scientific practices that are central to inquiry such as reasoning from evidence, building and using models, and developing explanations.
Test the New Stardust Mystery Game
Players enter a virtual world and immerse themselves in time-travel as they ask questions of experts such as Albert Einstein to solve the mystery of stardust. Gameplay enables personalized learning of NGSS topics in Structure and Properties of Matter, Space Systems, and other areas.
Pilot-testing for teachers (grades 5-8) and their students will occur online and/or face-to-face and is designed to accommodate teacher needs and schedules.
