A collection of 31 hands-on science 'puzzler' activities and demonstrations covering physics concepts (gravity, magnetism, balance, motion, light) framed as mysteries for students to solve.
Provide a multi-resource bundle teaching the scientific method (the eight steps: questioning, controlling variables, hypothesis, planning, performing, observing, analyzing, discussing) through slide-based lessons and hands-on lab/project activities.
A full science workbook (Book C of the 'Simple and Fun Science' series, ages 7-8) teaching science process skills (observing, inferring, measuring, predicting, problem-solving) through hands-on activities.
Provide ten hands-on winter-themed science experiments for elementary students, designed to build observation, prediction, and problem-solving skills aligned to scientific-method practice.
A 66-page science/biography workbook profiling famous scientists (early life, discoveries, and hands-on experiments) to teach the history and process of science.
Two-week mini-unit introducing the scientific method and science process skills to upper-elementary students through notes, vocabulary, hands-on experiments, a study guide, and a quiz.
Bundle of 6 simple hands-on science investigations for practicing the scientific method (hypothesis, variables, data collection, analysis).
Teach elementary students (ages ~7-9) basic science content and process skills (observation, hypothesis testing, comparison) through short readings and hands-on activities/experiments across life science, earth science, and human body topics.
A full 36-week, 10-unit NGSS-aligned Grade 4 science curriculum built on the 5E instructional model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate), covering energy, waves, Earth's processes, fossils, plant/animal structures, weathering and erosion, engineering, electricity, and a capstone.
A full science workbook (Book E of the 'Simple and Fun Science' series, ages 9-11) teaching life science concepts (cells, osmosis, plant/animal classification, plant responses to environment and light, tree age) through hands-on investigations.
A hands-on social studies/history unit teaching students about the history of flight and the Wright brothers' contribution to modern aviation.
Bring literature to life with this exciting STEM activity inspired by Bridge to Terabithia! This challenge sparks creativity and problem-solving as students plan and construct a bridge for King Jesse as he plans to make entrance to…
Make Earth Day impactful with this cross-curricular unit focusing on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Through reading, writing, math, and science, upper elementary students explore this major but little-known environmental issue.
A gardening-themed activity booklet of hands-on, group-based badge-earning activities (originally for Girl Scouts) teaching garden exploration, design, plant care, and observation skills.
A full-year, NGSS-aligned Grade 5 science curriculum (Bright Classroom Ideas) covering 10 units across 36 weeks, built around the 5E instructional model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate).
A 90-minute Grade 3-5 science lesson plan teaching what a solar eclipse is and its types via video, demonstration, and a hands-on model activity.
A full two-part science teaching unit (Light and Colour; The Human Eye) for grades 4-6 that combines overhead notes with hands-on activities covering luminous/illuminated objects, transparent/translucent/opaque materials, the light spectrum, reflection, refraction, colour/pigments, eye anatomy, and optical illusions.
Teach basic forms of energy (light, heat, solar) to grades 4-6 through two structured lesson plans, an animated PowerPoint, station-based activities, printable worksheets, and a test.
A science unit teaching the characteristics that distinguish living from non-living things through vocabulary work, critical-thinking activities, and a hands-on terrarium-building and observation project.
This hands-on activity combines creativity and problem-solving as students design and build a basket for Anne Marie to get the package safely to Uncle Henrik, based on the novel Number the Stars!
A STEAM activity combining art, science, and engineering: students build a coin-based spinner and collect/analyze data on how long it spins.
A science resource introducing photosynthesis through a reading passage plus comprehension questions, and hands-on experiments (seed germination/light exposure, chlorophyll extraction, and at least one more experiment) to reinforce the concept.
Pumpkin Investigation This pumpkin investigation aligns with science, math, and writing opportunities for grades three through five, if students are prepped accordingly.
A hands-on science lab that teaches or reviews the scientific method (hypothesis, variables, data collection, conclusion) using a soap-bubble comparison experiment.
