A deep dive into comparing the complex life cycles of beetles, frogs, and birds through modeling and environmental impact analysis.

Investigates inherited traits and learned behaviors through functional tool design and behavioral modeling.

Students illustrate and compare the life cycles of beetles, crickets, and plants through architectural and growth-focused engineering.

Focuses on plant dependencies for pollination and seed dispersal, alongside the unique metamorphosis of frogs and butterflies.

Students explore the life cycles of birds, mammals, and fish through engineering challenges focused on protection and migration.

A 45-minute introductory lesson designed for 7th graders to redefine their relationship with AI. It moves students from using AI as an answer generator to using it as a 'thinking partner' through interactive comparisons and a 'Fix the AI' workshop.

A social-emotional learning lesson focused on identifying the physical and emotional feelings associated with making right and wrong choices using a detective-themed investigation.

Learning healthy ways to handle disagreements and using 'I' statements for effective communication.

A professional development lesson for school staff to practice facilitating restorative circles through a realistic elementary school peer conflict scenario involving name-calling and body shaming.

A focused lesson introducing the concept of the 'Brain Garden' where mistakes are like rain that helps our skills grow, specifically adapted for non-verbal learners with bright receptive skills.

Developing empathy by understanding different perspectives and 'walking in someone else's shoes'.

A compassionate 20-minute session designed for a 9th-grade student navigating grief, focusing on normalizing emotions, identifying personal coping strategies, and establishing a support network.

Students act as environmental engineers to solve a real-world ecosystem crisis (soil erosion) by building an "Abiotic Anchor" to protect biotic factors in a coastal habitat.

Students explore the delicate balance of ecosystem communities by engineering a "Population Mobile" that demonstrates how the removal of one species impacts the entire dependency web.

Focusing on plant responses to seasonal changes, students engineer a "Dormancy Deck"—a protective structure designed to help a plant model survive a simulated winter freeze.

Students investigate how temperature affects animal survival in the desert by engineering a "Cooling Cave" that uses physical environmental characteristics to reduce heat.

Students design and build a model aquatic habitat to observe and record interactions between living fish (models) and non-living components like water, rocks, and bubbles.

Students investigate how populations and communities of organisms are dependent on one another and their environment by engineering a "Dependency Web" that maintains stability during environmental changes.

A lesson focused on developing core friendship skills for girls, specifically emphasizing inclusion, empathy, and kindness through visual aids and active practice.

Students examine the complex interactions between biotic and abiotic factors by engineering solutions to protect an ecosystem from environmental stressors.

Focusing on animal migration, hibernation, and plant dormancy, students engineer shelters that protect against temperature and precipitation changes.

Students investigate how environmental characteristics like rainfall support life by building models of environments and testing how they sustain plant and animal models.

Students explore the basic needs of living things and their interactions in a terrarium environment by engineering a "Mini-Home" that provides shelter and basic resources.
