A multi-subject summer school unit exploring the history, science, math, and language arts of ice cream. Students scale recipes, conduct freezing-point experiments, trace historical origins, and design sensory marketing campaigns.
A 19-day high-stakes Regents Biology test preparation sequence covering matter cycling, kelp forest trophic cascades, homeostatic feedback loops, and experimental design constraints and trade-offs.
A four-part immersive crime scene investigation where 7th-grade students act as forensic detectives to solve the mystery of the missing Golden Whistle trophy. This sequence guides students through scene processing, fingerprinting, ink chromatography, and final evidence synthesis.
A hands-on biology unit exploring asexual plant reproduction, cellular regeneration, and the science of propagation. Students learn to 'hack' plant growth to create new life from cuttings, combining laboratory precision with botanical care.
A collection of magical-themed lessons covering reading comprehension and early mathematics for primary students.
A comprehensive unit combining middle school ecosystem science with functional life skills in horticulture and cooking. Students explore the interconnectedness of nature while building practical skills in gardening and food preparation.
A 3-part mini-lesson series designed to teach middle schoolers how to use AI tools responsibly for final projects. The series focuses on AI as a thinking partner, prompt engineering, and critical fact-checking through a modern 'Notebook/Sketch' aesthetic.
A series of secret agent-themed ecology missions where students act as Eco-Detectives for the Nature Intelligence Agency (NIA) to study habitats, food chains, and environmental impacts.
A comprehensive 7-day introduction to business and entrepreneurship. Students explore foundations, economic principles, ownership models, internal structures, and the mindset and process needed to launch a new business idea.
A collection of technology and language arts lessons exploring modern digital literacy and core communication skills.
A comprehensive unit exploring how energy flows through ecosystems and how organisms interact within their environments. Students will model food webs, analyze resource availability, and predict population changes based on interactions.
A unit exploring how ecosystems change over time through primary and secondary succession, focusing on ecological stages and resilience.
A comprehensive unit covering Earth's composition, processes, and properties. Students explore mineral identification, the rock cycle, Earth's internal structure, and plate tectonics through a 'Geology Expedition' theme.
A creative end-of-year science unit where students apply their knowledge of Earth's tilt and orbit to design custom seasonal cycles for fictional planets. This sequence encourages divergent thinking and deep understanding of how axial tilt impacts climate and light.
A comprehensive 42-day collection of class starters for an 8th-grade forensics course, covering foundations, physical evidence, biological evidence, and forensic reasoning.
An introductory unit on Housing and Interior Design within the Human Services field. Students explore basic housing needs, sustainable green building, universal design for accessibility, the impact of local resources and climate on home construction, and residential energy efficiency.
A comprehensive physics unit covering the behavior of mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Students transition from hands-on slinky exploration to advanced optical modeling and mathematical derivations.
A comprehensive series of vocabulary assessments designed to reinforce computer science concepts through repeated exposure and varied questioning.
A science unit exploring ecology through the lens of 'The Lion King', focusing on food chains, food webs, and the balance of ecosystems. Students will learn to identify energy roles and predict the consequences of ecological changes.
A comprehensive introduction to meteorology focused on identifying and understanding the ten primary cloud types and their impact on weather patterns.
A foundational exploration of the four main branches of Earth Science through a multi-day digital scavenger hunt designed for accessibility and engagement.
A comprehensive unit exploring how fossils form, how they are dated, and what they reveal about Earth's biological and geological history.
This sequence guides 7th-grade students through the scientific criteria used to define life, moving from intuitive observations to biological analysis of metabolism, cellular structure, and homeostasis. Students explore ambiguous examples and conduct experiments to build a robust definition of what it means to be alive.
