Science Quest

An action-packed, hands-on 8-day 4-H camp program focusing on Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. Students tackle engineering, teamwork, ecology, nutrition, and art challenges through daily active learning.

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 two-day science unit for 4th-grade English Learners focusing on the processes of weathering and erosion. Students act as 'Earth Sculptors' to investigate how natural forces break down and move Earth's materials using WIDA-aligned language supports.

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 collection of technology and language arts lessons exploring modern digital literacy and core communication skills.

A collection of 8 hands-on science activities designed for elementary-aged children, covering chemistry, space, botany, and physics with a mix of instruction cards, journals, and lesson plans.

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 series of lessons focused on understanding different natural disasters, their causes, impacts, and safety protocols through structured writing and investigation.

A comprehensive unit on how energy flows through ecosystems, focusing on the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers and their unique adaptations for survival.

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 3-day mini-unit exploring carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores through the lens of The Lion King. Students will identify animal diets, categorize characters, and understand the ecological balance of the Pride Lands.

A hands-on exploration of animal diets, focusing on identifying and classifying herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores through text evidence and visual clues.

A week-long exploration of binary code, patterns, and digital communication designed for 4th-grade students. This sequence covers how patterns form codes for devices, the process of binary image transfer, and how engineers use code to solve problems like image brightness.

A comprehensive introduction to meteorology focused on identifying and understanding the ten primary cloud types and their impact on weather patterns.

A diverse collection of lessons covering the celestial wonders of our solar system and the historical impact of the World War II Home Front.

A comprehensive 4-hour independent study unit for 4th-grade students exploring how fossils provide evidence of past environments and extinct species. Students take on the role of 'Deep Time Detectives' to analyze clues from the Earth's history.

A comprehensive 4-day science unit on fossils and past environments, designed for independent student work during substitute teacher blocks. Students explore fossil formation, identify past environments from fossil evidence, and differentiate between body and trace fossils.
