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.
Provide a subject-agnostic, reusable graphic-organizer packet for planning and tracking an independent research project from brainstorming through source-gathering.
Teacher instructions for guiding students to build two Scratch coding games (a Goalie Game and a Catch It Game) that teach computational thinking concepts.
Science/literacy activity packet teaching students about bridges and bridge engineering, combining informational reading with reading-response and matching activities; catalog also describes an included popsicle-stick bridge-building project not present in the captured evidence.
Teach basic Microsoft Excel navigation and cell referencing (Shift, Tab, Enter, arrow keys, cell addresses) through an interactive 'detective' mystery story.
A 372-page reading/course book that teaches statistics and data-science fundamentals to young learners, moving from what data is through data organization, graphing, central tendency, spread, probability, sampling, correlation, and data storytelling.
A comprehensive science fair resource guide walking students step-by-step from choosing a science fair project topic through research, planning, execution, display, and self/judge evaluation, including a list of 150+ project ideas across seven science areas.
A science-and-writing project where students research animal habitats, ecosystems, and survival adaptations, then invent and write about their own new creature that has transformed from the student.
A middle-grades science research project where students research an animal's current biome and adaptations, then imagine how that animal would need to adapt if moved to a new biome, culminating in a written report and illustrated diagram.
Deliver a full-year (36-week, 10-unit) NGSS-aligned Grade 6 science curriculum covering life science (cells, human body systems), physical science (matter, energy), Earth science (Earth's interior, plate tectonics, weather, climate), and engineering design.
A published earth-science unit book teaching the causes, characteristics, and effects of hurricanes and tornadoes through informational readings, diagrams, hands-on experiments, and vocabulary/research activities.
A teacher-facing activity guide for organizing small-group student-led review presentations on a chosen subject (math, science, or social studies) for the last week of school.
A cross-curricular S.T.E.A.M. activity packet inspired by the novel 'A Night Divided', pairing hands-on science/engineering/art projects (mural art, structural design, tunneling, simple machines, rocket building) with the book's historical themes (Berlin Wall, Cold War, Space Race, Keith Haring's art).
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).
Teach basic Excel/Google Sheets navigation and cell referencing through an interactive pirate-themed 'treasure hunt' story, ending in a hidden embedded image.
A two-part electricity unit: Part I is direct-instruction notes and 7-9 worksheets/assignments on electricity fundamentals; Part II is a role-play class project where students debate which type of power plant a fictional town should build.
A scaffolded research-writing project guiding students through selecting a STEM innovator and researching, outlining, drafting, peer-reviewing, and finalizing a 5-paragraph MLA-style research essay about a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) innovator.
