A comprehensive study guide and practice resource covering the properties of light waves, their interactions with matter, and the transfer of energy, based on middle school science standards.

A collection of resources for tracking student progress, celebrating achievements, and managing the robotics workspace. includes mission logs, certificates, and reference guides.

Explore Marty the Robot using two coding methods: physical color blocks for screenless movement and Scratch-like block coding for more complex behaviors and sensing.

Transition from screenless coding to block coding with Sphero Mini. Students will explore distance, rotation, and loops while programming their robot to complete various challenges in the Sphero Edu app.

Introduce students to screenless coding using Sphero indi and color tiles. This lesson focuses on cause-and-effect and simple sequencing as students lead indi through a series of color-coded missions.

An advanced physics-based engineering unit for grades 4-5. Students take on the role of 'Roller Coaster Tycoons' to design gravity-powered coasters and braking systems, emphasizing variable testing, energy transfer, and safety criteria.

A fun-filled junior engineering lesson for grades 1-3. Students act as 'Thrill Seekers' to design steep, safe slides and sturdy ticket booths for a new amusement park, focusing on surface properties, friction, and structural stability.

An advanced disaster relief engineering unit for grades 4-5. Students design precision supply drop crates to protect medical gear and modular flood barrier systems to save a model town, emphasizing experimental variables and cost-to-performance criteria.

A high-energy junior engineering lesson for grades 1-3. Students join the 'Storm Rescue Team' to design unsinkable rafts for flood rescues and wind-resistant shelters for high-wind emergencies, focusing on material properties and modeling.
