Welcome to Science Unit Design!

Hi this is Daniel Rezac! I'm a middle school science teacher from Chicago. Welcome to the Science Design page. What I want is what all teachers want, to create a killer science unit for my guys for this fall!

But, I want this process to be fun and collaborative, not just lonely me sitting in front of a computer all summer. So I figure, why not create a wiki, and have science teachers from all over the world collaborate to create the ULTIMATE science unit design?

Couple of rules here:

1.  I'd like to use the Understanding by Design (Wiggins and Mctighe) template for unit design.

2.  Right now this is a public wiki, and there is no limit on users, although, I could institute one in the future, depending on how things go.

3.  Standards used: I think we should use National Science standards (then adapt them to our own, just to be universal) .

4.  Let's shoot for 6/7th grade.

That's all I have at the moment-
