Fizz Factor Lab Handout

A two-week middle school life science sequence investigating plant anatomy, vascular transport, and photosynthetic energy transformation. Students explore organ systems and biochemical processes that sustain plant life and drive terrestrial ecosystems.

An immersive 7th-grade STEM escape room aligned to Indiana NGSS standards (MS-ETS1) where students apply the 6-step Engineering Design Process and Chromebook Tinkercad modeling tools and shortcuts to crack security codes and restore lab fabrication systems.

An intricate life science coloring mural documenting forest floor decomposition, featuring a rotting nurse log, fungi, earthworms, leaf litter, and subterranean detritivores. Designed for students to color and identify key decomposers recycling nutrients in the ecosystem.

A highly visual, multi-day science sequence investigating the defining characteristics of insects designed for Grade 5 learners with limited literacy. Through large visual models, oral read-aloud scripts, tactile sorting, and picture-based checks, students master insect anatomy and classification.

A comprehensive 7th-grade Earth Science lesson exploring tectonic plate boundaries, mantle convection currents, and geologic surface features aligned with Indiana Academic Standards. Students investigate convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries through hands-on modeling, diagram analysis, and evidence-based assessments.

A 2-page master answer key and diagnostic solution guide aligned to 7th-grade Indiana NGSS standards (MS-ETS1). Features complete lock codes, Chromebook CAD derivations, and teacher remediation notes.

A visual, hands-on science sequence designed for learners with emerging literacy to master the defining characteristics of insects. Students investigate three body parts, six legs, antennae, and exoskeletons through guided observation, interactive movement routines, and picture-based sorting.

An Indiana Academic Standards-aligned engineering mini-unit for 7th grade science (IAS 6-8.E.1–4 & SEPS.1–8). Students investigate authentic everyday dilemmas across school, home, and community contexts, engineer innovative prototypes using technical planning sheets, evaluate solutions against an IAS-aligned rubric, and analyze iterative optimization with debrief reflection tickets.

A 2-page teacher facilitation guide aligned to 7th-grade Indiana Academic Standards for Science (NGSS MS-ETS1). Features Chromebook CAD management, lock configurations, 45-minute lesson pacing, and debrief prompts.

A 4-day 6th-grade science unit investigating the immense size and scale of the solar system, Milky Way galaxy, and observable universe using historical and ongoing space mission data. Students progress from Astronomical Units to light-years and cosmic deep fields through collaborative investigations and evidence-based modeling.

An immersive, hands-on cybersecurity escape room simulation where students investigate suspicious emails, dissect deceptive URLs, uncover disguised attachments, and counter social-engineering tactics to thwart a simulated network breach.

A 2-page printable collection of station clue cards, visual reference anchors, and tiered hint tokens aligned to 7th-grade Indiana NGSS standards (MS-ETS1). Features Chromebook trackpad gestures and Tinkercad shortcuts.
