Generation Genius (K-8)

A new tool for teaching Science and Math

Generation Genius is a K-8 teaching resource that brings school science and math standards to life through fun and educational videos paired with lesson plans, activities, quizzes, reading material, and more. Lessons are standards-aligned.

The mission of Understanding Science is to provide a fun, accessible, and free resource that accurately communicates what science is and how it really works.

Understanding Science gives users an inside look at the general principles, methods, and motivations that underlie all of science.

Learning happens best when kids are actively engaged and interested. So the Layers of Learning curriculum is made up of hands-on activities and real books, not textbooks. Packed with information, every page is lined with sidebars that are designed to take you off on tangents learning about interesting people, exploring the web, engaging in creative writing assignments, and layering your basic learning with related subjects.

What's Included? History - Science - Geography - Arts

We searched in vain for comprehensive programs that would take our kids from 1st grade through high school in these subjects. We love doing these subjects as a group, all ages together. Every unit includes a complete section on each of history, geography, science, and arts. All of these subjects are covered thoroughly, yes, even for high school, in our curriculum.

Discovery Education transforms classrooms, empowers teachers, and captivates students by leading the way in providing high-quality, dynamic, digital content to school districts large and small, rural and suburban, and everything in between.

With award-winning digital content, interactive lessons, real-time assessment, virtual experiences with some of Discovery's greatest talent, classroom contests & challenges, professional development, and more — Discovery is leading the way in transforming classrooms and inspiring learning.

The hands-on nature of the ELEMENTARY (K-3rd) version of Exploration Education not only develops a student’s interest in the world around them but also establishes a solid foundation for all future science courses. The lessons and directions are both written and narrated to facilitate learning for those students working on their reading skills.

The STANDARD (4th-6th) version is presented in a straightforward, easily understood, and hands-on manner. Real-life projects built by the student make scientific principles tangible and concrete. Not only do the students learn and retain the information, but they will also find themselves enjoying and succeeding in science.

The ADVANCED (7th-10th) version builds on the foundation of the standard version, expanding it by adding 72 lessons and 3 additional projects. This course establishes a strong understanding of physical science. It introduces the students to the foundational concepts of high school physics including how to follow an accurate lab write-up. 

At Mystery Science, our mission is to help children stay curious. Young children love to ask questions. They’re naturally curious about the world: “Why does it get cold in the winter?” “Why do we need to cook our food?” “Why are flowers so colorful?”

At Mystery Science, we believe that if you take a child’s questions seriously and help them to investigate, their natural curiosity will develop into a scientific perspective on the world. This ability to think scientifically is fundamental to any career or subject a child chooses to pursue as an adult. It's the ability to look at a question or problem, systematically investigate and collect evidence, and come to an independent conclusion. This is why our mission is to help children stay curious. We believe teachers and parents deserve better resources to help children investigate the mysteries of this endlessly fascinating world!

OCEARCH is a data-centric organization built to help scientists collect previously unattainable data in the ocean while open-sourcing our research and explorations. Open-sourcing and inclusion at every level, and in real-time, allows the world to participate in our projects while being aware of the developing science.

Science Buddies mission is to help students from all walks of life to build their literacy in science and technology so they can become productive and engaged citizens in the 21st century. We have created personalized learning tools, over 15,000 pages of scientist-developed subject matter (including experiments based on the latest academic research), and an online community of science professionals who volunteer to advise students. We also provide resources to support parents and teachers as they guide students doing hands-on science projects. Representing much more than a website, Science Buddies quickly and efficiently matches students with the information that will hold their interest and answer their questions. We provide a bridge between scientists and students, giving students access to current scientific research and simultaneously giving scientists a way to reach out to young people interested in their fields.

Science4Us aligns to national and individual state standards for kindergarten through second-grade science. Covering four “books” of science — Physical Science, Life Science, Earth/Space Science, and Inquiry — the comprehensive Science4Us curriculum includes 28 modules of material. The suggested time frame for the implementation of a module is 8 sessions (or days).

Welcome to Kidstir! We are moms who want to raise children who have a healthy and happy connection to food. We believe good food can be fun for kids—from shopping at the farmer’s market for ripe raspberries to cooking up a batch of homemade granola bars together in the kitchen. By educating and empowering our kids about food, we can prepare them to make smart, healthy choices, no matter what comes their way!
