A comprehensive unit on the fundamentals of forensic science and criminal investigation, culminating in a hands-on murder mystery simulation. Students learn about evidence collection, witness psychology, and deductive reasoning.

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 comprehensive 5-week sequence exploring the physical properties of water, the engineering of water filtration, and the complex systems of Virginia's watersheds. Students move from hands-on engineering to chemical properties and finally to large-scale environmental systems.

Une séquence de 6ème pour découvrir la cellule à travers des observations microscopiques, passant des végétaux aux animaux puis aux unicellulaires.

A comprehensive 5-week sequence exploring the physical properties of water, the engineering of water filtration, and the complex systems of Virginia's watersheds. Students move from hands-on engineering to chemical properties and finally to large-scale environmental systems.

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 unit exploring the microscopic machines that keep living things running, from building cells to breaking down food.

A comprehensive one-week unit covering the foundations of cell theory, the technical mastery of microscopes, and the fascinating structures of unicellular organisms (Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, and Volvox).

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 unit where students become environmental detectives to investigate biodiversity, interdependencies, and human impact within their local ecosystems through inquiry-based field studies.

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 comprehensive sequence on how Earth's surface is transformed through the processes of weathering and erosion, focusing on the specific agents that shape our landscapes.

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 unit exploring the fundamental concepts of business, economics, and entrepreneurship for middle school students.

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 comprehensive lesson sequence on human body systems, starting with the fundamentals of cellular organization and homeostasis.

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