A 5th-grade physical science lesson introducing concepts of forces, motion, speed, and direction changes using sports scenarios.
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.
A hands-on lesson teaching students how to craft high-quality AI prompts by comparing exemplars and non-exemplars. Students learn to provide context, eliminate vague language, and set clear constraints.
A comprehensive teacher guide and answer key for the Prompt Showdown lesson, containing exemplars, instructional tips, and grading support.
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 engaging hands-on STEAM engineering challenge where students design, build, and test a tower made of simple materials to support a load. Includes differentiated guides for early elementary (K-2) focusing on shapes and exploration, and upper elementary (3-5) focusing on the engineering design process and collaboration.
A print-ready student worksheet featuring "This or That" prompt comparisons, matching exercises, and analysis questions to master AI prompting skills.
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.
An interactive, hands-on lesson exploring how mobile apps and technology address critical community challenges in environmentalism, public health, disaster relief, volunteering, and animal rescue. Students participate in a matching task card activity to discover real-world software driving social impact.
A revised 5-page printable bulletin board kit featuring giant cut-out heading letters with BOTH 'T's for 'MATTER!', colorful sub-headline quote boxes, scientific molecular models of the three states of matter (Solid, Liquid, Gas), and a modern, labeled Bohr model of an atom.
A high-energy, sensory-friendly physical science unit designed specifically for 3rd-5th grade students in alternative settings. The curriculum uses high-movement stations, interactive visual presentations, and bite-sized printable worksheets to teach Magnets/Electricity, States of Matter, Forces/Motion, and Energy/Sound while incorporating positive behavior support structures.
An investigation into the moon's monthly cycle of light and shadow. Students decode the predictable lunar phases, model the Moon-Earth-Sun alignment, and practice tracking observations.
The teacher answer key and grading guide for the Force Flight Worksheet, featuring clear sample responses for all three critical thinking questions.
