A hands-on lesson where 2nd-grade students become 'Earth Architects' to build and compare models of mountains and hills. Students will explore the physical characteristics of these landforms through tactile construction and observation.

Students explore and design ways to slow down or prevent wind and water from changing the land using plants and structures.

Students investigate how wind can pick up and move Earth materials like sand and dirt to create new landforms like dunes.

Students discover how flowing water, from rain to rivers, moves soil and carves paths through the land over time.

A K-2 lesson introducing students to the unique biodiversity of island ecosystems through storytelling and visual exploration, emphasizing species identification and environmental care.

Students differentiate between inherited traits, learned behaviors, and acquired physical traits through complex scenarios and data analysis.

Students investigate and explain the difference between inherited characteristics and learned behaviors using specific examples like eye color versus fetching a ball.

Students explore likenesses between parents and offspring, identifying simple physical traits they share and identifying things they must learn from their environment.

An advanced elementary lesson (grade 5) exploring the differences between series and parallel circuits using paper circuit kits or wires.

A mid-elementary lesson (grades 3-4) focusing on identifying conductors and insulators through hands-on testing with a circuit tester.

A foundational exploration of speed, motion, and the various forms of energy, focusing on the relationship between kinetic and potential energy.

A mini-project lesson where students act as data detectives to collect, analyze, and ethically report on classroom data.

A lesson exploring the elusive snow leopard, focusing on its unique adaptations, habitat in the high mountains of Central Asia, and the conservation efforts to protect this 'Ghost of the Mountains'.

A comprehensive introduction to microbiology focusing on germs, bacteria, and viruses. Students will explore how these microorganisms affect the human body and learn to distinguish between different types of pathogens through interactive slides and hands-on organizers.

A hands-on investigation into the science of sound, where 3rd graders explore vibrations, how sound travels through different materials, and the mechanics of hearing through interactive experiments and instrument building.

A comprehensive lesson exploring the sense of sight through a detailed reading passage and STAAR-aligned comprehension questions designed for second grade.

Discover the structure of watershed systems, the importance of the Chesapeake Bay, and how human activity impacts water quality.

Investigate the chemical nature of water through pH testing, exploring acidity, alkalinity, and how water's role as a solvent impacts life and the environment.

Explore the unique molecular properties of water, including cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension, through the 'Penny Power' lab and interactive demonstrations.

Introduces energy sources like the sun, wind, and fossil fuels, and how we use them to power our world using simple language.

Introduces viruses, bacteria, and how to stay healthy using simple 1st-grade level language and high-visual support.
