Pacing Guides for 3-Dimensional Teaching
Creating effective labs that meet NGSS criteria is no easy task. That’s why we designed pacing guides using Carolina Kits 3D™ investigations that will help you address phenomena with your students in a manageable, week-by-week format.
The labs engage students in scientific and engineering practices while applying core ideas and crosscutting concepts—experiences that are key to thriving with the NGSS and phenomena-based learning.
We hope these guides help you as you integrate 3-dimensional teaching into your classroom.
