An immersive 5-room murder mystery escape room experience designed for teens, focusing on collaborative problem-solving and logic. Students work in teams to solve riddles and puzzles to identify the culprit in the 'Midnight Manor' case.

A comprehensive 3-day sequence focused on distinguishing between physical properties of matter that are independent of amount (density, solubility, melting/boiling points) and those that are dependent (mass, volume, weight). Students act as 'Substance Sleuths' to investigate these properties through hands-on labs and visual note-taking.

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.

An exploration of chemical properties and their real-world applications, focusing on the balance of substances in our environment.

A multi-day project where students trace the lineage of household technology, culminating in a prototype design and a presentation on societal impact.

A 4-week exploration of technology through the lens of everyday household items, tracing their evolution from simple tools to complex smart systems. Students investigate what technology truly is beyond just electronics and how domestic innovations have changed human life.

A 3-day investigation into the physical properties of matter, focusing on the distinction between intensive (independent) and extensive (dependent) properties through hands-on labs and doodle notes.

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

A high-energy unplugged series for middle schoolers to master computational thinking through logic puzzles, algorithmic sequencing, and hands-on debugging challenges. Students explore these concepts through the lens of ancient labyrinth exploration, using critical thinking to navigate complex problem-solving terrains.

A unit exploring the science and conservation of global carbon sinks, their roles in climate regulation, and the threats they face from human activity and climate change.

A comprehensive 15-day curriculum unit for 7th-grade science exploring the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, nervous, and endocrine systems, with a focus on how they interact to support life and maintain homeostasis.

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 exploring the foundations of genetics, from the molecular structure of DNA to the mathematical probability of inherited traits and the impact of genetic mutations.

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.

A series exploring thermodynamics through the lens of beverage insulation and container design. Students move from data analysis to material science and finally to engineering design.

A 3-day exploration of the ecological impacts and ethical complexities of reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone National Park. Students analyze trophic cascades, evaluate stakeholder perspectives, and engage in a structured debate about conservation.

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.

Exploring the internal heat and dynamic processes that shape our planet's surface and interior.

A comprehensive two-day review sequence covering thermal energy, heat transfer, temperature vs. thermal energy, and particle motion, culminating in a CER practice and exit ticket.

A collection of unit review materials for middle school science, specifically targeting 6th grade living things and 7th grade body systems. These resources mirror local assessments to ensure student readiness.

A series of four 10-15 minute logic lessons for middle school students, focusing on Zeno's paradoxes and the 'Paradox Player' thinking style. Students will learn to break ideas into tiny steps, push logic to extremes, and identify contradictions through 'Paradox Breaker' activities.

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.
