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 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 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 differentiated science unit exploring the life cycles, parts, and processes of plants for Kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th grade students.

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 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.

A comprehensive set of 2nd-grade informational units covering healthy eating, animal habitats, weather patterns, and community helpers, designed with a field guide aesthetic.

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.
