Each day the corn yields new surprises. Students observe many related phenomena coming from the corn and design multiple investigations to help them uncover important pieces of the puzzle. Each piece of the puzzle they figure out helps them incrementally develop a model to explain their anchoring phenomena and answer their original questions.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:Effective July 1, 2020, the EEI Curriculum will be migrated to a password-protected SharePoint site. Here are the instructionsfor how to obtain access to the new EEI SharePoint site, for which you will need to have a Microsoft account(available to anyone). Contact us at eei@calrecycle.ca.gov if you need technical assistance with accessing the site.

The California Education and the Environment (EEI) Curriculum contains a wide array of resources to support your transition to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The EEI Curriculum uses the environment as an authentic, engaging, and highly effective context in which students can more readily see the relevance of science and engineering to their lives. Although the EEI Curriculum was based on California's 1998 science content standards, it contains diverse instructional resources that, if thoughtfully integrated, can enrich lessons and units of study focused on California's NGSS.

California's new Science Curriculum Framework provides several examples of how the EEI Curriculum can be integrated into NGSS-focused instruction.

New! Inventory of EEI Curriculum Resources Spreadsheet

The EEI Curriculum includes a vast array of readings, photos, maps, information cards, and activities on topics ranging from air to water. While the EEI Curriculum wasn't written for NGSS, you can "harvest" EEI resources for your NGSS lessons. Access this Google Sheet and search for resources to add to your NGSS units of study. For example, if you teach 5 th grade and are looking for a reading about rivers, you could add a filter to search for units at reading level 5. Then add another filter to look for readings. Then search for the term "river." Likewise, you could search for all resources related to the word "woodland" by searching on this term. Keep in mind that photos in a 1 st grade unit may still be useful for high school teachers and vice-versa so feel free to search beyond your grade level. This spreadsheet currently includes resources from the EEI science units. We will add resources from the history/social science units by fall of 2019.

EEI/NGSS Correlation Spreadsheet

Now you can search for EEI Curriculum content to support NGSS Performance Expectations (PE's). Access this Google Sheet and sort by: NGSS grade level, PE, EEI Unit, or unit reading level. The spreadsheet includes a brief EEI unit description and hyperlinks to the EEI unit webpages and correlation guides.

Next Generation Science Standards Correlation Guides

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The California EEI Curriculum is a natural fit for supporting the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). In the summer of 2013, we created a focus group of K-12 teachers and administrators who advised us on the content and format of our correlation guides. We are now posting drafts of the correlation guides upon their completion.

Dear LOR user,

Thank you for being a big part of this community. To better support the initiatives around open educational resources in the state of Michigan, all resources on the Michigan Virtual Learning Object Repository (LOR) are being moved to #GoOpen Michigan(link is external) on September 30th, 2018. During the transition, our LOR will be moved to an archived state, not allowing new user registration or new content to be added. An email with more details was sent to registered users of the LOR in September. To make use of the great resources on the platform, we encourage you to create an account and add your own new resources to the #GoOpen Michigan platform(link is external).

Phenomenal Science is a regional collaboration between the Science, Mathematics, Technology center at CMU and the Great Lakes Bay ISDs to develop K-5 Science Units through professional learning.

The units will:

Include a complete curriculum for K-5 three-dimensional science instruction

Meet the Michigan Science Standards

Be free to all educators

Integrate science and engineering practices, and English Language Arts and Mathematics

Phenomenal Science is sponsored by Michigan Virtual University®, Michigan STEM Partnership and is supported by the Great Lakes Bay ISDs.
