Lowell Public Schools has adopted OpenSciEd in grades 6–8 and at Lowell High School. OpenSciEd is considered high quality instructional materials and uses an inquiry-based, storyline approach where students investigate real-world phenomena, ask questions, and work collaboratively to build explanations and solutions. Through this process, students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills while engaging in authentic scientific and engineering practices. These experiences foster deeper learning and prepare students to apply scientific thinking in school, careers, and everyday life.
