Two science-loving middle school teachers who are all about keeping things real and bringing the fun back into teaching. We met teaching across the hall from each other and have been inseparable ever since!
Back in the day, we were the teachers in the back row at staff meetings, laughing a little too hard.
Sue’s now living her best retired life, while Lori’s still in the trenches, teaching middle schoolers every day.
We’re all about hummus, carrots, and a good ice-cold soda (balance, right?).
Completely obsessed with everything science and finding ways to make it exciting and accessible.
Our mission? To help you rediscover the joy of teaching science while keeping lesson planning simple. Let’s make science the highlight of your day—and your students’ too!
You love teaching middle school science, but let’s be real—it can be
A LOT.
From NGSS standards to interactive activities and experiments, there’s so much to cover, and you’re trying to do it all without losing your evenings and weekends. Sound familiar?
You’re ready for a change—resources that are NGSS aligned, engaging, and actually save you time. You want science lessons that light up your students without leaving you feeling burned out. We totally get it because we’ve been in your shoes (and some days, we’re still there!).
If this hits home:
You’re constantly short on time for lesson planning
You’re overwhelmed by the lack of clear science curriculum at your school
You’re searching for ways to make science engaging without endless prep work
Then we’ve got you covered. Let’s bring the fun back to teaching science and give you the tools to finally feel organized, confident, and balanced!
Middle school science class is all about w things safe, fun, and respectful. Students follow lab safety rules, take care of classroom materials, work together during experiments, and stay curious! These rules are designed to support hands-on learning and encourage a love for science, just like the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) suggest.
Middle school science dives into big, exciting topics! Students explore life science (like ecosystems and cells), physical science (think forces and energy), and earth and space science (climate, geology, and more). It’s all about connecting the dots between these areas and applying them to real-world situations.
The NGSS curriculum is all about teaching kids how to think and act like real scientists. It focuses on three key areas: Science and Engineering Practices, Disciplinary Core Ideas, and Crosscutting Concepts. These work together to build skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and understanding how science connects to everyday life.
Hosting a science fair is such a fun way to showcase student creativity and curiosity! Start by encouraging students to follow the scientific method: pick a testable question, make a hypothesis, and gather data. NGSS-friendly topics like energy, ecosystems, or engineering challenges are great starting points. Don’t forget to celebrate their hard work with a fun presentation day!
Absolutely! These resources are designed to make science teaching accessible and fun for teachers of all backgrounds. We’ve done the heavy lifting by aligning everything with NGSS and breaking down concepts into easy-to-follow steps. So whether you’re a science pro or just getting started, you’ll feel confident and ready to go.
Yes! We totally get it—the hours can add up fast. Our resources are ready-to-use, so you’re not starting from scratch. From NGSS-aligned lesson plans to lab activities and interactive notebooks, everything is crafted to save you precious planning time. You’ll spend less time prepping and more time doing what you love: teaching.
You’re not alone—keeping students engaged is a challenge we all know well! That’s why our resources are packed with hands-on activities, real-world connections, and interactive elements that make science come to life. Each resource has been teacher-tested and student-approved, so you can trust they’ll grab your students’ attention and keep them excited to learn.
Definitely! We’ve built differentiation right into our resources, with options for low, middle, and high-level learners. From text-to-speech features to Cornell-style notes and adaptable lesson formats, you’ll have everything you need to reach every student without spending hours modifying each lesson.
Oh, we hear you! Tech can feel like a lot, especially on top of everything else. But don’t worry—our resources are super user-friendly and designed to work seamlessly with Google Slides, GoodNotes, and other digital platforms. Plus, if you’re a fan of pen and paper, we’ve got printable versions too! We’re all about making it easy, so you feel supported every step of the way.
