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 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 focused on the scientific method, using a mystery box activity to practice observation, hypothesis formation, and experimentation. Students explore the historical roots of the method and apply it to solve physical puzzles.

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

A deep dive into marine biology and animal physiology, focusing on the unique adaptations that allow aquatic life to thrive in diverse environments.

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 lesson sequence focusing on the differences between renewable and non-renewable energy sources, culminating in a town council role-play debate. Students explore energy transformations and evaluate the environmental and economic impacts of different power sources.

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 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.
