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 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 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 the fundamentals of electricity, magnetism, and how they combine in circuits, focusing on energy transformations and hands-on visuals.

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 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 series of lessons exploring the intersection of technology, geology, and environmental science, focusing on how the products we use every day are connected to the Earth's resources and the global environment.

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.

An exploration of the dynamic processes that shape our planet's surface, focusing on tectonic activity, volcanic formations, and the movement of the Earth's crust.

A lesson sequence for 7th-grade biology focusing on the reproductive adaptations of sessile organisms, specifically sponges, and the evolutionary advantages of hermaphroditism.
