Data Analysis · Lesson 1
Collecting & Organizing Data
Decide which notebook notes count as usable data, then organize the measurements into a clear, readable table.

Data Analysis · Lesson 2
Find the Pattern, Choose the Graph
Identify the relationship in a dataset, choose the graph with the right visual job, and build and defend your choice.
Data Analysis · Lesson 3
Reading Graphs Like a Scientist
Read patterns carefully, repair misleading graph choices, and write conclusions that stay grounded in the data.
Data Analysis · Lesson 4
Drawing Conclusions from Data
Use patterns and measured evidence to write a careful conclusion that answers the investigation question.
Data Analysis · Lesson 5
Data Decision Challenge
Bring the data-analysis toolkit together to make a decision, support it with evidence, and explain what should happen next.
Intro Chemistry · Lesson 1
What Is Matter?
Decide what even counts as matter, then use physical properties — solubility, crystal shape, and density — to tell four look-alike white powders apart and identify a mislabeled jar.
Intro to Science · Lesson 1
Observation vs Inference: Science Detective Academy
Investigate a greenhouse mystery, separate observations from inferences, and revise explanations as new evidence appears.
Intro to Science · Lesson 2
Variables and Fair Tests: The Plant Growth Investigation
Identify variables, control conditions, and design a fair pea-plant growth experiment.
Intro to Science · Lesson 3
Case Closed: The Bean Seed Test
Use claim, evidence, and reasoning to build a science explanation from real bean seed sprouting data.
Intro to Science · Lesson 4
Repeat the Test: The Fertilizer Procedure
Write and improve an experimental procedure so another scientist could repeat a bean-seedling fertilizer test the same way.
Lab Safety
Ready for the Lab
Prepare a lab bench, choose protective equipment, make safe decisions, and practice emergency response in an animated lab-safety simulation.
Lesson
Kelp Forest Collapse
Investigate an urchin barren, map the food web, and test trophic cascades in a kelp forest simulator.
Lesson
Photosynthesis Mission
Trace one carbon atom into plant matter through models, maps, and a photosynthesis builder.
Lesson
DNA: The Code That Copies Itself
Build nucleotides, use base-pairing rules, and model how DNA copies itself.
Lesson
The Cell's Assembly Line
Follow DNA instructions into RNA and proteins to see how cells build what they need.
Lesson
Looks vs. Letters: Mendel’s Pea Plant Mystery
Investigate why two purple-flowered parents can have a white-flowered offspring — through sorting, allele modeling, and a Punnett square build.
Nothing matches that combination yet.
