A hands-on science lesson for 3rd and 4th graders exploring how surface texture (nucleation sites) triggers the rapid release of carbon dioxide gas in soda, featuring a SciShow Kids video and a candy investigation activity.
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 highly engaging vocabulary lesson where students master key ecosystem and habitat terms through interactive pairing games and hands-on sentence completion.
A page-by-page illustrated study guide of key ecosystem terms for third-grade classrooms. Organizes vital terms from Page 1 to Page 5 of the reading text, providing clear definitions, contextual examples, and an interactive student sketchpad area.
An interactive, highly visual ecosystem unit designed for 7th/8th grade MCAS standards but adapted to a 4th-grade reading and comprehension level. The unit explores abiotic/biotic factors, energy flow, interactions, and disruptions through hands-on activities, adapted readings, visual slides, and scaffolded assessments.
A lesson designed to guide students through the fundamental stages of scientific inquiry using tactile, color-coded hex cards to map, sort, and collaborate on scientific investigations.
A comprehensive 32-slide quiz presentation designed for third-grade classrooms. Features 15 sequential questions (multiple choice, true/false, matching, fill-in-the-blank, and open-ended) mapped to the page numbers of the Generation Genius ecosystems text, with instructional scaffolds and clear answer reveal slides.
A highly visual 4-day science unit exploring ocean habitats and depth zones. Tailored for differentiated instruction for 3rd grade and nonverbal 7th grade students using Boardmaker-style symbols, color-coded matching, and visual check comprehension.
A collection of visually engaging and highly structured career posters highlighting high-interest STEM occupations for upper elementary students. Each spotlight details key skills, education, salary stats, and real-world industries.
An interactive, screen-optimized slide deck designed for virtual classrooms. Features matching challenges with definitions and context clues for all seven vocabulary words, along with interactive rounds, virtual game mechanics, and a wildcard answer debrief slide.
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.
An exemplar 3D science lesson exploring physical properties, mineral testing, and rock classification. It integrates hands-on inquiry with structured vocabulary acquisition and formative checks.
A high-quality, printable set of 35 color-coded scientific inquiry hex cards (plus 1 customizable card) divided into 5 clear scientific phases. Students cut out these hexagons to map, sequence, sort, and collaborate on real scientific investigations.
