Nature Architects

An introductory launch unit for fifth-grade science establishing safety norms, physical notebooks, and the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) writing framework.

A highly engaging board-game based lesson where students master the 11 major human body organ systems through competitive and collaborative gameplay. Includes a full 50-tile board and companion reference guide.

A printable student recording sheet and reflection guide to accompany the 40-tile Monopoly-style Anatomy Quest board game. Includes 16 designated answer slots, health point trackers, and deep-dive organ system reflection questions.

A comprehensive teacher professional development and model lesson plan sequence. It equips educators with hands-on mineral testing protocols, inquiry-based (3D) NGSS teaching strategies, geological vocabulary support, and formative assessment tools for grades 4-8.

A 5th-grade Science lesson that casts students as 'Decomposer Detectives' to investigate the 'FBI' (Fungi, Bacteria, and Invertebrates). Through a highly-visual presentation, a structured graphic organizer case file, and a hands-on mold observation setup, students discover how decomposers recycle nutrients in ecosystems.

A complete printable Monopoly-style board game kit for mastering the 11 human body systems. Includes a beautifully designed 40-tile board game with questions, a comprehensive system reference sheet, an answer key, and a student scorecard.

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 scientific method investigation where students design, mix, and test different papier-mâché recipes to engineer the ultimate strong piñata paste using mass-loading tests.

A comprehensive teacher guide and pacing lesson plan for the 'Rot and Roll' decomposer detectives lesson. Includes curriculum alignment, common misconceptions, pacing recommendations, and an answer key for the student worksheet.

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 accommodated science lesson covering telescope technology, optical vs. radio systems, reflecting vs. refracting designs, and the history of space observation (including Hubble and Galileo). Features high-scaffolding review materials and a fresh, aligned assessment.

A 5th-grade Science student graphic organizer styled as a detective 'Case File'. Students record key evidence about Fungi, Bacteria, and Invertebrates (the F.B.I.) and map out how nutrients cycle through ecosystems.
