Created a series of 80 meticulously designed lessons crafted by Tenicka Norwood in collaboration with the National Education Association (NEA) and Better Lesson.
Project Details
Throughout the curriculum:
Crosscutting concepts, such as patterns, cause and effect, and systems thinking, are integrated to foster a holistic understanding of physics. Science and engineering practices are emphasized, encouraging students to develop skills like data analysis, modeling, and constructing explanations. Each lesson includes detailed learning objectives, instructional strategies, suggested assessments, and relevant resources. The curriculum provides a coherent progression of content and skills, allowing students to build a deep conceptual understanding of physics while developing critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
