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.

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

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 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 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.

A comprehensive 5-day unit focusing on atomic structure, the periodic table, and chemical reactivity, designed for Integrated Physics and Chemistry students.

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 sequence of lessons exploring the specialized anatomy and physical structures of marine organisms, from basic fish biology to the complex adaptations that allow them to thrive in diverse oceanic environments.
