Yearlong curriculum map, co-created with collaborating teachers outlining learning garden activities and alignment to classroom curriculum. Three units align with the district-adopted science curriculum, and additional enrichment lessons provide hands-on context and application for disciplinary concepts. By emphasizing extended units of instruction, this curriculum can be used for application and enrichment of school curriculum, and/or as stand-alone garden curriculum. (NGSS=Next Generation Science Standards. Other abbreviations are consistent with those used in the NGSS: PS=Physical science; LS=Life science; ESS=Earth & Space science; ETS=Engineering, Technology, and Application of Science. Numbers following abbreviations indicate the disciplinary core ideas described in NRC, 2012).
