A deep dive into how animals use non-verbal signals, specifically posturing and threatening behaviors, to communicate dominance, defend territory, and avoid physical conflict. Students explore the biological 'why' behind these displays and practice identifying them across various species.

A comprehensive unit on the human body's systems, focusing on anatomy, physiology, and health.

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.

A four-day introductory unit on the signs of spring, focusing on weather changes and nature's awakening. Includes a mix of outdoor exploration and indoor hands-on crafts designed for grades K-3.

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

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.

A comprehensive substitute teacher packet for the 8th-grade 'Teen Challenges' course, focusing on the Inner Strength Lab and the novel Hatchet. Includes daily procedures, survival-themed activities, and feedback forms.

A comprehensive leadership development program for district administrators focused on high-quality curriculum implementation, review methodologies, and instructional coaching strategies to ensure district-wide coherence.

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 comprehensive 2nd-week unit for 3rd Grade Science exploring the anatomy, functions, and protective nature of the human skin through experiments, models, and sensory activities.

A basic introduction to space concepts and the work of NASA, designed for early elementary students to build reading skills and scientific curiosity.

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.

Une exploration complète des principes de la statique et de la dynamique, allant de l'équilibre des structures rigides à l'analyse des mouvements curvilignes.

A comprehensive 30-day forensic science unit for 6th grade focused on evidence-based problem solving, observation skills, biological analysis, and the ethics of the legal system. Students progress from basic observation to a culminating mock trial and cold case analysis project.

A series of lessons exploring the physics of fluids, including buoyancy, pressure, and fluid flow.

A project-based 6th-grade forensics course where students act as lead investigators to solve a campus mystery using scientific evidence, biology, and engineering principles. The course aligns with Iowa Science Standards covering cell theory, inheritance, and the engineering design process.

A comprehensive two-week recovery sequence designed for students to master key concepts from Investigations 9-12, including evolution and biological systems. This unit provides condensed notes, visual aids, and targeted review questions to help students bridge learning gaps and achieve course credit.

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 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.
