Grades 3-8
Compelling scenarios capture student interest while introducing them to a real-world problem they can solve with science. Story-driven videos guide students through a process of scientific inquiry and hands-on experimentation. Students exercise critical and creative thinking through scientific journaling, collaborate with peers, and apply what they learn to make the world a better place. Save time and master science standards with these low-prep, high-engagement video-guided quests.
Each quest includes 3 inquiry-based investigations, each 1 hour in length. You determine your class teams and give them access to the supplies. The videos guide students through the investigations as you facilitate, troubleshoot, and look out for those teachable moments!
