Students become geological detectives to investigate how rocks change over time through heat, pressure, and erosion, culminating in a mystery-solving identification challenge.

Students explore how materials interact with water and energy, focusing on solubility, density, and the conduction of heat and electricity.

Students investigate the physical properties of solid objects, including hardness, flexibility, magnetism, and how states of matter define a material's initial form.

Explores the six simple machines and how they make work easier by changing the direction or magnitude of a force.

A foundational introduction to ecosystems, biomes, and the roles living things play in their environments. Students explore biotic and abiotic factors and the simple energy paths within food chains and webs.

A quick 30-minute introduction to the skeletal system, focusing on its main functions and the names of key bones in the human body. Students will explore how their 'internal frame' helps them move and stay protected.

Students explore the ecosystem beneath the forest floor, focusing on animals that create tunnels and live among tree roots.

A lesson exploring the characteristics, classification, and social behavior of prehistoric Sabertooth cats.

A lesson focused on the formation of sedimentary rocks and how their layers serve as a timeline for life on Earth, specifically focusing on the sequence of formation and fossil aging.

A lesson exploring the unique life cycle of periodical cicadas and how their emergence patterns help them survive and reproduce.

A hands-on science lab using crackers, water, and plastic bags to simulate the digestive process, with differentiated materials for various learner needs.

A lesson introducing students to various ecosystems through vocabulary and visual identification. Students will learn the key characteristics of different biomes including forests, deserts, and oceans.

A lesson that uses a 'mystery drink' metaphor to teach students about computer viruses and the critical importance of asking for permission before downloading files from the internet.

A comprehensive lesson exploring how the five sense organs collect data and send signals to the brain for processing. Students will learn the pathway from stimulus to perception through reading, mapping, and assessment.

A comprehensive lesson exploring the five human sense organs, their functions, and essential care practices to maintain sensory health.

Students investigate how different gene versions lead to different proteins and traits, moving from Darwin's Bark Spiders to human athletes. They will model inheritance and apply their findings to real-world runner scenarios.

A comprehensive set of materials designed for MCAS-Alt portfolios, focusing on the plant life cycle (birth, growth, reproduction, and death) through sequencing and model-building.
