Science lessons your class can do tomorrow.
Hands-on lessons for Alberta's new science curriculum. A question kids actually ask, an experiment with everyday materials, and a teacher plan you can pick up and run.
- Built on Alberta outcomes
- Materials under C$30 a class
- No student accounts, ever
The questions your students already ask.
Each lesson is built around one real question, and finishes with students who can answer it with evidence.
- Why do bike tires go soft in winter?
- Why does food colouring spread faster in hot water?
- Where does our classroom's electricity come from?
- Can the wind power our school?
- Is this winter colder than when your grandparents were kids?
- What can a tree ring tell us?
- Why does a chinook feel like spring in January?
- Is it hotter by the slide?
Five beats, one class period or two.
Learn the pattern once. Every lesson follows it, so you spend your time teaching, not decoding a new plan.
- 1
Mission
5 min
A real question, told as a story. Your class becomes the team hired to answer it.
- 2
Bet
5–10 min
Everyone makes a prediction and writes down why. Now they care how it turns out.
- 3
Hunt
20 min
Hands on, in teams of three with rotating jobs. Everyday materials, a fair test.
- 4
Reveal
10–15 min
Pool the results, compare with the bets, and explain what happened with the science.
- 5
Act
10 min
Use the evidence: a note, a design, a recommendation. Learning that goes somewhere.
Built on the new curriculum, not bent to fit it.
Every unit starts from an Alberta learning outcome and quotes it, so you can see exactly what it covers. Alberta doesn't publish outcome codes, so we don't invent them.
Local on purpose: chinooks, canola, frost dates and minus-thirty mornings, not examples written for somewhere else.

Units for Grades 4, 5 and 6.
Hot and Cold: Particles on the Move
Why tires go soft in January, why sidewalks have gaps, and how a thermometer knows. Five lessons on what heating and cooling do to the particles in everything around us.
Power for Alberta
Where does the electricity in our classroom come from, and why does Alberta make it the way it does? Wind, sun, gas and the choices behind them.
Climate Clues
Tree rings, old weather records and what our own town's numbers say. How scientists tell climate apart from a cold week.
Weather Detectives
Chinooks, frost dates and the hottest spot in the schoolyard. Students measure weather fairly and find out why farmers care so much about it.
Solids, Liquids and Gases
Where does a puddle go? Why does ice float? A first look at the tiny particles that explain the stuff around us.
Evidence Lab
How do you know something is true? Students collect evidence, spot weak claims and learn why scientists repeat their tests.
We're honest about where each unit stands. Pilot units go to pilot teachers first. Coming units are still being written. Nothing is marked Classroom tested until a teacher has taught it.
Materials you already have
Each lesson lists what to gather and roughly what it costs. Or, from 2027, let us send a kit that shows up ready to go.
About kitsNo student data
Students never sign up or log in. Teachers can create a free account to save lessons. That's it.
Our privacy promiseHonest science
We tell kids what an experiment can and can't show. Getting a messy result and explaining it is real science too.
