Features
Research Based
Developed as a National Science Foundation project, Living By Chemistry aligns to the Benchmarks for Scientific Literacy, National Science Educational Standards, National Physical Science Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Field-testing shows that students of all ability levels perform better with Living By Chemistry.
Guided Inquiry
The National Science Education Standards recommend using inquiry to teach science. Guided inquiry encourages students ask questions and propose explanations based on evidence. They learn to reflect on ideas and effectively communicate scientific concepts. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) emphasize the importance of science practices which provide the backbone of the Living By Chemistry program
Engaging and Rigorous
Research shows that students learn science best by investigating questions in an interesting context. So, Living By Chemistry's six units focus on big ideas of chemistry and frame core concepts within everyday, real-world contexts. This approach captures students' interest and improves their retention of concepts while addressing NGSS requirements.
