A five-day science unit exploring solar energy through hands-on experiments, engineering challenges, and interactive lessons. Students learn about photons, photovoltaic cells, solar thermal energy, and the role of renewables in our future.
An immersive fifth-grade unit on natural disasters. Students explore the science, history, and safety preparation for earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and floods through interactive slides, reading investigations, and emergency planning projects.
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 collection of integrated science and ELA reading passages covering conservation of mass, the water cycle, and force and motion. Each passage targets specific ELA standards including key ideas, craft and structure, and language.
A hands-on biology unit exploring asexual plant reproduction, cellular regeneration, and the science of propagation. Students learn to 'hack' plant growth to create new life from cuttings, combining laboratory precision with botanical care.
A comprehensive unit combining middle school ecosystem science with functional life skills in horticulture and cooking. Students explore the interconnectedness of nature while building practical skills in gardening and food preparation.
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 3-part mini-lesson series designed to teach middle schoolers how to use AI tools responsibly for final projects. The series focuses on AI as a thinking partner, prompt engineering, and critical fact-checking through a modern 'Notebook/Sketch' aesthetic.
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 comprehensive 7-day introduction to business and entrepreneurship. Students explore foundations, economic principles, ownership models, internal structures, and the mindset and process needed to launch a new business idea.
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 for 5th grade exploring how plants grow from air and water (LS.5.1.1) and how matter cycles through ecosystems via food webs and decomposers (LS.5.1.2).
A comprehensive exploration of heredity, traits, and environmental influences across grade levels, from basic inheritance to complex adaptations and changes over time.
A comprehensive unit exploring how energy flows through ecosystems and how organisms interact within their environments. Students will model food webs, analyze resource availability, and predict population changes based on interactions.
A unit exploring how ecosystems change over time through primary and secondary succession, focusing on ecological stages and resilience.
A comprehensive 5th-grade science review sequence covering Ecosystems, Properties of Matter, and the Earth-Sun-Moon system through reading comprehension and varied activities.
A collection of independent science exploration modules covering the Solar System, Matter, and Ecosystems, designed for quiet student work during substitute lessons.
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 activities focused on applying chemical matter concepts to solve mysteries, culminating in a creative evidence board project.
A creative end-of-year science unit where students apply their knowledge of Earth's tilt and orbit to design custom seasonal cycles for fictional planets. This sequence encourages divergent thinking and deep understanding of how axial tilt impacts climate and light.
A series of lessons focused on understanding different natural disasters, their causes, impacts, and safety protocols through structured writing and investigation.
