Final Tweaks In Progress

There are still a few things we are working on, so we will continue to be making small additions through the remainder of the summer, including:

• Completing and linking slides for Units 2, 6, 15, 21, and 18
• Completing post assessments, answer keys, and rubrics for Units 15, 18, and 21
• Small changes to the website page to match the new formatting
• A v7 overview video for the start of the school year

Things that you can expect in the future for all units, include:

• Unit Overview Videos
• Lesson Overview Videos
• Tutorials
• Updated Epic Book Collections 

Standards Resources

Due to the reorganization of standards, there are 3 standards not being covered in mySci units this year, including 4-ESS3-2 (MLS ESS3.A.1), 4-ESS2-2 (MLS.ESS2.B.1), and 2-ESS2-3 (MLS 2.ESS2.C.1). However, these standards will be included in the final revisions. Below are resources which can be used to supplement these standards:

• 4-ESS3-2
  • How Can We Analyze and Interpret Data From Maps? Mini-Lesson 
  • What Patterns Do We Observe on Maps Of Earth's Features? Mini-Lesson
• 4-ESS2-2
  • How Do Earth's Processes Affect Humans?
  • How Can We Reduce the Impact of These Processes? Mini-Lesson
• 2-ESS2-3
  • What Bodies of Water Are on Earth’s Surface? Mini-Lesson

Revision Tracker

Additionally, here is a resource which includes all of the units with proposed NGSS and MLS standards. As we continue to revise units, we will update this document to include any missing information (N/A). 

• Note: 
• Standards may show up in multiple units in order to address elements of the 3 dimensions adequately, and in service of storylines that include multiple domains.
• Standards are subject to shift based on storylinine decisions, but all standards (NGSS and MLS) will be addressed completely in the appropriate grade level. 

We will continue to be in communication with you over the next few weeks and throughout the 2023-24 school year as new units continue to be developed. We look forward to beginning the implementation of these new storylines with you!
