A series of lessons exploring genetics and protein synthesis through the lens of spider silk production for medical use. Adapted for 3rd-grade reading levels while maintaining 6th-grade science concepts.

A 4th-grade science unit adapted from 6th-grade material, focusing on how gene versions and proteins determine traits in spiders and humans. Students act as 'Gene Detectives' to solve the mystery of silk flexibility and running ability.

A comprehensive unit exploring inherited traits, talents, and character analysis through the lens of Kamal's story. Students will distinguish between genetic traits and learned talents, analyze character motivations, and document their own unique 'code'.

A comprehensive project-based unit where students explore the vital role of pollinators, research local species, and design solutions to protect their habitats.

A comprehensive unit exploring the fundamentals of electricity, magnetism, and how they combine in circuits, focusing on energy transformations and hands-on visuals.

A comprehensive 5-lesson unit for 4th graders exploring the properties of light energy, including how it travels, reflects, refracts, and interacts with different materials.

A comprehensive 4th-grade earth science unit aligned with the TERC Earth Materials investigation, focusing on the properties of minerals, types of rocks, the rock cycle, and soil composition through a "Geology Field Lab" lens.

A collection of science and phonics resources designed for hands-on classroom activities.

A lesson sequence exploring the science of involuntary reflexes and reaction time through hands-on lab experiments and interactive discussions. Students learn to distinguish between voluntary and involuntary actions using the body's natural response systems.

A primary science unit exploring animal body coverings, focusing on the differences between shedding and growing scales in reptiles and fish.

A foundational science unit for early elementary students exploring the concepts of energy, force, and gravity through hands-on investigation and real-world observation.

A lesson sequence for K-2 students focusing on scientific inquiry, making predictions, and using tools to measure and compare mass. Students learn to distinguish between mass (how heavy) and volume (how big) through hands-on experiments.

An introductory unit exploring invertebrate biology, focusing on classification, physical traits, and ecological roles of various animal groups.

A hands-on exploration of physics and forces, focusing on gravity, motion, and air resistance through engineering challenges.

A short, engaging unit focused on the unique biological adaptations of bats, specifically their status as the only flying mammals and their specialized wing anatomy. Students explore classification, anatomy, and behavior through hands-on modeling.

A hands-on introductory sequence where 3rd-grade students explore the relationship between electricity and magnetism by building their own electromagnets.

A short sequence for lower elementary students exploring how humans adapt farming techniques to grow food in challenging environments like crowded cities and outer space without using soil.

A primary science unit exploring the life cycles of plants, from dormant seeds to flowering adults. Students engage in inquiry-based experiments to understand what plants need to survive and thrive.

A sequence focused on physical science and engineering, specifically exploring gravity, air resistance, and the engineering design process through parachute construction.

A fun, science-based lesson for K-3 students and their parents to explore pet hygiene, the mystery of 'wet dog smell,' and responsible animal care through a SciShow Kids video and a creative brochure activity.
