EQuIP Reviewed Lessons
In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) lay out disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, and crosscutting concepts that students should master in preparation for college and careers. Through a project with Achieve, Inc. and the New York Hall of Science, Teachers TryScience is providing a growing set of lessons that reflect some of the shifts in the NGSS, along with resources that will support you in aligning your own lessons to NGSS.
Units
THINK: The Process of Innovation
Using the THINK app (free for iPad and 10" Android tablets), students will explore how progress is shaped through a common and systematic approach that follows a five-step process of Seeing, Mapping, Understanding, Believing and Acting (SMUBA). Your students will explore the process of innovation and participate in as many as three units, featuring hands-on lessons that will to help them become innovators in their own right and to take actions that can help them become forward-thinking citizens of the world.
