A hands-on virtual lab using the PhET Ohm's Law simulation to investigate the relationships between voltage, current, and resistance. Students collect data, graph results, and use CER to explain their findings.

A comprehensive end-of-unit assessment and review lesson for the Infinite Frontier sequence. Includes a multi-topic test and a unit glossary.

A lesson on the fundamental force of gravity, explaining its role as a downward force on Earth and the invisible "glue" that keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.

A lesson exploring why the night sky appears to change throughout the night and across different seasons due to Earth's rotation and revolution.

A lesson on constellations, explaining how stars form patterns used for navigation and how the view of the sky changes between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

A lesson on the life cycle of stars, exploring how they are born in nebulae, grow, and eventually change brightness as they age or die.

A lesson exploring why some stars look brighter than others, focusing on the difference between apparent and absolute brightness and the role of distance.

A lesson on solar and lunar eclipses, exploring how the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon creates dramatic shadows in space.

A lesson exploring the eight phases of the Moon, why the Moon seems to change shape, and the 29.5-day lunar cycle.

A lesson on Earth's revolution, exploring the path Earth takes around the sun and how its tilted axis leads to the change of seasons.

A lesson on Earth's rotation, focusing on the concept of an axis and how spinning creates the cycle of day and night.

A lesson exploring the history and future of human space exploration. From the Apollo moon landings to living on the International Space Station and planning the first human missions to Mars.

A lesson exploring how we use technology like rovers, probes, satellites, and telescopes to study space. Highlights famous missions like Mars Rovers and the James Webb Space Telescope.

A lesson exploring the hierarchy of space, from our solar system to the Milky Way galaxy and the vast universe beyond. Focuses on relative scale and the concept of galaxies.

A "Hi-Lo" lesson on the solar system for 6th graders reading at a 3rd-grade level. It explores planetary characteristics, the role of gravity, and scale through accessible text and high-interest visuals.

Students analyze how living things change their environment through processes like transpiration and decomposition.

Students investigate how the atmosphere interacts with Earth's surface through deposition and how it provides essential gases for the biosphere.

Students explore how the geosphere interacts with other systems, including the movement of continents (Pangaea), the formation of aquifers, and the role of organic materials in soil.

Students analyze how the hydrosphere interacts with other systems through weathering, erosion, and supporting life.

A 60-minute follow-up lesson featuring a diagram-based worksheet and a guided research activity to solidify planetary knowledge.

A 60-minute introductory lesson focusing on the order of the planets and their basic characteristics through reading and interactive matching.

Students learn about the pH scale, use simulated data to identify the pH of common substances, and understand how indicators work.

A lesson exploring the impact of road salt on local waterways, specifically focusing on how salt levels in Nashoba Brook affect endangered turtle habitats. Students will learn how community scientists measure water quality and what the data tells us about protecting our environment.

A final review of pH concepts followed by a summative assessment to measure student understanding of acids, bases, and indicators.

Students explore the color-changing properties of butterfly pea flower tea (often called peaberry tea in common parlance) to observe acid-base reactions and neutralization.

A hands-on laboratory session where students create a natural pH indicator from red cabbage and use it to test common household substances.

An introduction to the pH scale, exploring the properties of acids and bases and how to use the 0-14 scale to measure acidity and alkalinity.

Students explore the biosphere, identifying how life exists in various environments and how living things interact with other Earth systems.
