A conceptual introduction to momentum, Newton's 3rd Law, and conservation laws using car collisions as the primary model. Focused on qualitative understanding and simple single-step math.

A culminating synthesis project where students act as safety engineering consultants. Using a jigsaw approach, students analyze lab data, force-sensor graphs, fatality statistics, and momentum models to reconstruct a multi-vehicle collision and recommend safety improvements.

A lesson that connects experimental lab data to the formal physics of momentum, impulse, and vehicle safety. Students analyze collision sensor data and fatality statistics to understand how mass and velocity dictate crash outcomes.

Students analyze their lab results and connect the findings to hazardous waste management and the importance of chemical safety protocols.

Students conduct an experiment mixing hydrogen peroxide and baking soda to observe chemical reactions and gas production, simulating pressure buildup in waste containers.

An investigation of Le Chatelier's Principle. Students apply external stresses—concentration and temperature changes—to the Iron(III) thiocyanate equilibrium system to observe, predict, and explain how a system at balance responds to change.

An introduction to reversible reactions and chemical equilibrium. Students use particle models and a pH-sensitive chemical indicator to visualize how reactions can occur in both directions and reach a point where forward and reverse rates are equal.

An immersive hands-on investigation into the physics of sound where students build DIY instruments to explore vibrations, pitch, and volume. This lesson bridges sensory exploration with acoustic engineering principles.

A high-energy lesson where 5th and 6th graders bridge creative writing and computer science by building event-driven logic maps for branching narratives. Students learn how user inputs serve as 'triggers' for story 'functions' within the Hero's Journey framework.

A lesson on the history and importance of conservation in Colorado, culminating in a simulation where students propose solutions to balance recreation and environmental protection.

A lesson focusing on the unique wildlife of the Rocky Mountains, identifying adaptations and ecological roles of various species through a matching activity and creative writing.

A lesson exploring the variety of nature activities in Colorado, focusing on reading comprehension and evidence-based writing. Students will identify supporting details for key main ideas within a complex informational text.

A focused practice session on translating chemical reactions between word descriptions and symbolic equations, covering key concepts of reactants, products, and stoichiometry.

A 50-minute introductory lesson on plant and animal cells designed for 9-10th grade self-contained science. Students will explore cell organelles, compare structures, and understand how these 'building blocks of life' function like a factory or city.

In this hands-on lab, students use the floating leaf disk assay to visualize and measure the rate of photosynthesis. They explore how light intensity and CO2 availability act as variables in oxygen production.

An introductory lesson on digital printing technologies, covering the mechanics of inkjet, laser, large format, and sublimation printing. Students will learn the pros, cons, and specific use cases for each method.

A comprehensive guide to meiosis, focusing on the structural and functional differences between Meiosis I and Meiosis II through visual identification and comparative analysis.

A physical science and music integration lesson exploring how vibration and frequency create sound, culminating in an acoustic instrument design project. Students analyze the mechanics of pitch and resonance across different instrument families.

A high-school level review lesson covering meiosis, mitosis, fertilization, and genetic variation. Students rotate through concept stations to master chromosome math and cellular division sequences.
