NGSS Chemistry in the Earth System: Integrating Chemistry and Earth and Space Science
Kognity’s online resource for high school Chemistry with integrated Earth and Space Science contains a range of activities, tips and opportunities to develop scientific thinking. The interactive content promotes 3-dimensional learning in line with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) as well as state-specific science standards.
Standards-aligned content for high school Chemistry
This Chemistry in the Earth System resource includes 6 units, which cover:
- Combustion: our forests are burning
- Heat and energy in the Earth system: The scientific energy of crystals
- Atoms, element and molecules: So many minerals, so few elements
- Chemical reactions: The power of a battery
- Chemistry of climate change: A few degrees do matter
- The dynamics of chemical reactions and ocean acidification: The impact on coral reefs
The first module of each unit introduces an anchoring phenomenon, which is then further explored in the subsequent modules through a combination of observation, exploration and collaboration.
