The Mars Climate Orbiter Case Study

A collection of foundational reference sheets, formula grids, and problem-solving templates designed to support Connecticut high school physics students across all NGSS units.

A differentiated stoichiometry assessment suite tiered by mathematical complexity, visual scaffolding, and conceptual depth. Features three distinct, parallel versions of a 2-page quiz centered around unique real-world chemistry applications.

A modular, self-paced entrepreneurship project designed for alternative education students in work-study programs. It bridges real-world work experience with business planning, allowing students to design and pitch their own mock business.

A comprehensive, scaffolded pretest aligned to the GED Science test. It includes student-facing diagnostics for life, physical, earth, and space sciences, alongside a detailed teacher answer key with explanatory feedback.

A comprehensive safety and preparation kit for students and teachers participating in a neighborhood trash pick-up community service project. It includes safety slides, a student contract and checklist, and a detailed teacher instruction guide.

A comprehensive study and practice package for Chemistry 1406 Exam 2. It contains a highly structured, side-by-side strategy guide paired with a 30-question practice exam, and a matching detailed answer key with step-by-step rationales.

A rigorous assessment lesson covering Charles's Law, Gay-Lussac's Law, and the Ideal Gas Law. Students demonstrate understanding through conceptual multiple-choice questions and solve multi-step algebraic calculations with gas behavior formulas.

A comprehensive assessment package focused on the individual empirical gas laws (Boyle's, Charles's, and Gay-Lussac's laws). It includes a beautifully formatted printable student quiz and a highly detailed step-by-step teacher answer key, both themed around a vintage 19th-century scientific research log.

A comprehensive assessment lesson on the behavior of gases. Students demonstrate their understanding of Boyle's, Charles's, Gay-Lussac's, Combined, and Ideal gas laws through theoretical and quantitative problem-solving.

An engineering design challenge where students design, prototype, and test an insulated cup to keep water cold. Emphasizes thermal energy transfer, materials science properties, the engineering process, and data analysis.

Day 3 of the Nature Hacks unit. Students synthesize their research and engineering blueprints to write a cohesive informational synthesis article, and complete a multi-disciplinary rubrics-based self-assessment.

Day 2 of the Nature Hacks unit. Students draft schematic drawings of their biomimetic solutions, apply scale factor mathematics to size their designs, and write technical specifications.

Day 1 of the Nature Hacks unit. Students explore the concept of biomimicry, read informational sources about animal/plant adaptations, and extract key data for their engineering designs.
