+ISLE Chem

Inquiry-based chemistry curriculum built on the ISLE framework.

ISLE Chemistry is a set of chemistry curriculum learning sequences that help students learn chemistry through practicing it. The materials are aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards and use the same Investigative Science Learning Environment approach as PUM.

Overview

The learning sequences are logically connected and support students in building conceptual understanding, developing mathematical reasoning, and learning to think like scientists through investigation and evidence.

Available learning sequences

Unit 1

Measurement and Conservation of Matter

Unit 2

Gasses

Unit 3

Discovery of Elements and Compounds

Unit 4

Atomic Structure

Unit 5
