An interactive five-day science and color theory exploration for grades K-3 using custom-colored playdough. Students explore color mixing, physical mixtures, and pastel formulation using liquid watercolors and a homemade neutral playdough base.
A highly visual 4-day science unit exploring ocean habitats and depth zones. Tailored for differentiated instruction for 3rd grade and nonverbal 7th grade students using Boardmaker-style symbols, color-coded matching, and visual check comprehension.
A fun, hands-on science lesson where young explorers use their five senses to investigate the natural world. Students learn about their senses through interactive slides, embark on an outdoor 'Sensory Safari' scavenger hunt, and reflect on their discoveries.
A playful 1-page student lab sheet for Grades K-3. It guides students through recording sensory observations, selecting their color strategy, making predictions, and analyzing how the warm beige dough base creates muted pastel shades.
A comprehensive elementary/middle school astronomy unit exploring the predictable patterns of Earth and sky. Students investigate why constellations change seasonally and decode the predictable cycle of lunar phases through hands-on models, observations, and guided inquiry.
An engaging, highly visual lesson focused on introducing shark anatomy and marine biology vocabulary to young learners through a picture-supported word search and vocabulary flashcards.
A comprehensive 4-page teacher manual for 'Dough Alchemy' featuring a five-day sequence of 30-minute lessons. Includes NGSS-aligned science backgrounds, a non-toxic playdough recipe, color theory principles, and day-by-day scripting and facilitation guides.
A hands-on, inquiry-based elementary science unit investigating the secrets of photosynthesis. Students act as 'Plant Power Detectives' conducting wet labs, including leaf chromatography and Elodea oxygen bubble experiments, to discover how plants capture light, make food, and produce oxygen.
An introductory reading comprehension and science lesson about sharks for second-grade students, featuring PEC-style visual supports and a cooperative matching board game.
A 7-week STEM and innovation program for kids ages 8-13 at Mattahunt. Youth participants lead peer-to-peer design challenges, develop teamwork skills, and build self-efficacy through hands-on leadership roles.
