Mosa Mack = phenomena that spark real curiosity. Start every unit with a mystery. 🔍 hubs.la/Q03Dn4_20
8
Students test real product claims using the scientific method in our Claim Testing Unit. hubs.la/Q03Dn4-r0
12
Watermelons used to be pale, dry, and bitter. Humans bred them into summer’s favorite fruit. 🍉
10
Squirrels forget where they hide 74% of their nuts. 🌰 ➡️ 🌳 That forgetfulness helps grow forests.
15
Solve cell mysteries, study real samples, and then build your own cell? Our Cells Unit blends structure, function, and creativity. hubs.la/Q03DmVc40
9
Productive struggle builds thinkers. Resist rescuing too soon. 💡
14
Mosa Mack builds real scientific thinkers—modeling, reasoning, and argumentation. hubs.la/Q03DmRyP0
46
Astronauts’ eyeballs flatten in space. Microgravity = fluid shift → vision change. 👁️🚀
12
Fossils. Embryos. Limbs. Students gather real evidence for evolution—and engineer a way to track it. hubs.la/Q03DmDHp0
9
Stronger CER starts before students write a claim. Model the thinking first. 🧠✍️
9
No-prep, hands-on science. Mosa Mack = ready for Day One. hubs.la/Q03xkscm0
12
Science meets mystery. Students investigate a popcorn heist to learn how real scientists think, question, and test ideas. 🍿🔬 hubs.la/Q03xkBx40
9
Start your year with talk moves: “I agree because…” “What do you mean by…?” Structured conversation = deeper thinking. 🧠
14
Ball rolling uphill? Students solve this illusion—and explore gravity hands-on—in our Gravity Unit. hubs.la/Q03xkvTg0
16
Mosa Mack = mystery-first, model-rich, NGSS-aligned. Explore it free: hubs.la/Q03xknV50
29
AI is mapping deep ocean ecosystems—and discovering species we’ve never seen before. 🌊🤖
15
Solids, liquids… and slime? Students explore oobleck and other non-Newtonian fluids in our States of Matter Unit. hubs.la/Q03xkgkP0
6
AI is being used to predict wildfires. Real-time data = faster, smarter response. 🔥
