A hands-on exploration of thermal energy transfer through convection and freezing point depression experiments. Students observe how density and temperature interact in water and how salt affects the melting process of ice.
A lesson exploring the movement of carbon through Earth's systems, including photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and human impact.
In this lesson, students analyze the 'brain rot' phenomenon through a scientific lens, focusing on how short-form media impacts the brain's reward system. Students engage with new vocabulary, watch a targeted video, and participate in a mediated debate about their digital habits.
In this introductory lesson, Kindergarten students embark on a scientific journey to discover their five senses. Through a mystery box activity and collaborative discussion, they begin to explore how they use sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch to understand the world around them.
An introductory exploration of the physics of sound and light through vocabulary reinforcement and visual aids.
A lesson exploring how traits are passed down through different types of reproduction and how populations change over time through natural and artificial selection.
A deep dive into the time-dependent behavior of RC circuits, covering the calculus of charging and discharging, the physical meaning of the time constant, and graphical analysis.
This lesson provides the additional framework and assignments required for graduate students participating in the Research Proposal Project. It focuses on technical plausibility, resource management, and strategic academic significance.
A student-led inquiry project exploring the intersection of music and neuroscience. Students choose their own research path to discover how musical training transforms cognitive development and present their unique findings.
A hands-on exploration of ocean acidification where students simulate carbon dioxide absorption and observe the effects of acid on calcium carbonate structures like shells and chalk.
Focuses on MS-LS2-4. Students analyze ecosystem stability and construct arguments about how biological changes, specifically invasive species, disrupt the balance of native populations.
Focuses on MS-LS2-3. Students develop models to describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy through food webs, exploring how competition at one level impacts the entire system.
Focuses on MS-LS1-5 and MS-LS2-1. Students investigate how environmental factors (resource density) and genetic factors influence the growth and survival of individual organisms. Includes the Plant Density Lab.
An advanced look at cell structure and function for 8th-grade students, focusing on technical vocabulary, protein synthesis pathways, and cellular energy production.
A comprehensive introduction to plant and animal cells, focusing on identifying organelles and understanding their specific functions within the cell.
A foundational lesson on compound light microscopes, focusing on parts identification, proper handling, and the step-by-step process of focusing on a specimen. Students develop essential lab safety and precision skills.
A comprehensive lesson exploring debt financing, equity financing, and alternative funding sources like grants and incubators, helping students understand the strategic trade-offs of each.
A deep dive into the molecular machinery of CRISPR-Cas9, focusing on the structural biology of Cas9, guide RNA architecture, and the precision of genome editing.
An introductory lesson for kindergarten students exploring basic ocean facts and marine life through visual aids and hands-on activities.
