💡 NEW Interactive Light Refraction Lab

Most light labs are cool to watch… but don’t tell you what students actually understand.

This one does.

Students predict, test, and observe how light bends between air and water, explore prisms and lenses, and complete built-in assessment questions that give teachers real insight — not just a score.

✔️ Reteach
✔️ Review
✔️ Extension
English & Spanish + audio support 🇺🇸🇪🇸🔊

🚧 Beta Bonus! All elementary interactive assessments and virtual labs are FREE during beta testing.

🌿 Ecosystem-Biotic-Abiotic…but make it interactive. 🌿

We just built an Ecosystem Explorer where students don’t just memorize “biotic vs. abiotic” — they actually explore, click, classify, and connect inside real ecosystem scenes.

Students:
• Explore pond, forest, and desert environments
• Click glowing hotspots to investigate organisms
• Classify biotic vs. abiotic factors
• Record findings in a digital field notebook
• Build organism–environment connections
• Take a built-in quiz (with analysis!)
• Toggle English/Spanish support

🎈 NEW Friction & Motion Lab – Balloon Rocket Experiment 🚀

Ready to make force and motion come alive?

In this interactive lab, students test how different string types affect how far a balloon rocket travels. From smooth fishing line to rough cloth, they explore how friction changes motion in real time. 🧵

Students:
🔍 Select a string type (low to high friction)
🤔 Make a prediction (short, medium, or far)
🚀 Launch the rocket and measure distance
📊 Record data in a table and analyze a live graph
💬 Draw conclusions about friction and resistance

Built-in vocabulary support, English/Spanish toggle, quiz mode, printable worksheet, and data tracking make this more than a demo — it’s a complete investigation cycle.

If you’re teaching force, motion, friction, or scientific investigation skills… this lab delivers hands-on thinking without the mess.

Ever wish your students could truly visualize how everything in an ecosystem connects?

The Food Web Explorer helps them move beyond memorizing definitions and into real reasoning.

Students choose an ecosystem, drag and place organisms into a food web, and create energy connections to show who eats what. They classify producers, herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores, test their thinking, check their answers, and refine their models.
It’s hands-on problem solving in a digital format.

With built-in feedback, scoring, English/Spanish toggle, and fullscreen capability for whole-class modeling, it’s ready for stations, small groups, or direct instruction.

If your goal is deeper understanding of ecosystem relationships—not just vocabulary recall—this experience was built for your classroom.

🕸️🌿 NEW Interactive: Food Chain Explorer (by Accelerating Success) 🌿🕸️

Elementary science teachers—this is an engagement + understanding win. Students build food chains and explore food webs in a drag-and-drop, game-like experience across multiple ecosystems (pond, forest, desert, wetland, arctic).

✅ Build Mode: place organisms into trophic levels
✅ Label Mode: classify organisms as producer/herbivore/carnivore/omnivore (with feedback + hints)
✅ Teacher tools: English/Spanish toggle, fullscreen, sound control, plus built-in Worksheet + Quiz Me buttons for quick grades/evidence of learning

Perfect for stations, whole-group modeling, or review—students stop memorizing and start reasoning about who eats what and why.

🎉 We’re Excited to Partner with Alief ISD! 🎉

We’re proud to announce our partnership with Alief Independent School District, supporting their mission to equip teachers with engaging, high-impact instructional tools—especially for emergent bilingual learners.

Alief ISD was looking for a robust, classroom-ready collection of resources that teachers could use right away to:
✔️ Actively engage students
✔️ Support language development alongside science content
✔️ Meet diverse learner needs without adding extra prep
✔️ Help students confidently work toward their academic goals

What stood out most?
➡️ The quantity of resources available
➡️ The quality and intentional design behind them
➡️ Built-in English/Spanish support that makes content accessible for all learners

We’re honored to support Alief ISD teachers and students and excited to see the impact this partnership will have in classrooms across the district.
