A comprehensive STEM sequence for grades 1-5 focusing on structural engineering and physics. Students progress from exploring material properties and shapes to designing complex, efficient structures, building their understanding of forces, stability, and the engineering design process.

A Grade 5 PBL sequence focused on the hydrosphere and human impact. Students investigate the connection between the particulate nature of matter and large-scale water systems, culminating in a community presentation on protecting their local watershed.

A Gold Standard PBL unit where students investigate Earth's systems and human impact to design a community exhibit for local endangered turtle conservation in the Nashoba Brook watershed. Students explore water distribution, sphere interactions, and engineering design through the lens of protecting their 'headstarted' Blanding's turtles.

A comprehensive STEM unit introducing block coding and robotics using Marty the Robot and Sphero Minis. Students explore sequencing, loops, and color-based commands across two weeks of rotating hands-on lab sessions.

An engaging unit exploring the properties of matter, focusing on how substances combine, dissolve, and separate.

A comprehensive unit on the lunar cycle, combining scientific observation, technical vocabulary mastery, and evidence-based writing using the SRSD framework.

A comprehensive exploration of the Earth's water cycle, focusing on the processes of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation through visual instruction and hands-on experimentation.

A week-long after-school science unit for 4th graders exploring surface tension through hands-on experiments, including water droplets, soap reactions, and bubble engineering.

A 5-day after-school program exploring the science of surface tension through hands-on experiments, scientific observations, and engineering challenges. Students investigate how water molecules stick together and how substances like soap and salt can break those bonds.

A sequence of lessons exploring the specialized anatomy and physical structures of marine organisms, from basic fish biology to the complex adaptations that allow them to thrive in diverse oceanic environments.

A comprehensive unit designed to turn students into nature detectives, focusing on observation, documentation, and appreciation of the local environment for K-6 students.

A comprehensive unit on matter, focusing on the differences between physical and chemical changes, identifying indicators of each, and applying this knowledge to real-world scenarios.

An immersive Earth Science unit exploring the rock cycle, weathering, erosion, and landforms through hands-on labs and creative design projects. Students act as geologists to understand how Earth's surface is constantly being reshaped.

A comprehensive STEM series focusing on Organisms and Environments, specifically designed to address high-probability STAAR concepts through hands-on engineering challenges. Students explore life cycles, structures, and ecosystem dynamics by solving real-world biological problems.

A comprehensive two-day review sequence designed to prepare 5th-grade students for their science interim assessment, covering matter, earth systems, and scientific inquiry.

A comprehensive 3-week unit exploring the unique physical properties of water, its role in life and geological processes, and the dynamics of watershed systems. Students investigate polarity, cohesion, and universal solubility through hands-on labs while connecting these traits to climate moderation and the health of the Chesapeake Bay.

A comprehensive scaffolding of the Inherited Traits and Learned Behaviors strand (TEKS 13B), moving from basic likenesses in 3rd grade to complex differentiation in 5th grade. The sequence focuses on distinguishing between physical inherited traits and acquired skills/behaviors through hands-on investigation and case studies.
