Open Grade 8 →The offline half of the same idea: five hands-on investigations in mixtures, density, state change, magnetism, and conductivity. Students collect the evidence on Page 1, then argue from it on Page 2 with Claim–Evidence–Reasoning or Articulate–Connect–Extend. Ships with a teacher guide, answer keys, and editable PowerPoint decks.
Practice rules of the room, PPE, emergency equipment, hazard symbols, Safety Data Sheets, GHS pictograms, chemical compatibility, and procedure critique. Pass the mastery checks to earn a printable Ranger or Specialist badge.
Short prompts that ask students to Articulate, Connect, and Extend their science thinking, across all four strands of the draft SST elementary science blueprint. Filter by grade and strand, flip between student and teacher views, and score the answer with a SOLO guide that names the next instructional move.
