This introductory 2 unit course is designed to introduce new or experienced middle and high school science teachers to 'science storylines.' Storylines are a novel way of creating units by organizing learning sequences so that all learning is phenomena-driven, each lesson is rooted in scientific inquiry and progressive sensemaking, and students are asked to 'figure out' the content by engaging in science and engineering practices. The storyline curricular model provides teachers with both pedagogical and curricular strategies to prepare students to meet the performance expectations outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards.
