Their content captures attention, sustains curiosity, and makes complex STEM ideas accessible and exciting for students.
Education
The curriculum is built by a team of experienced educators, science writers, and learning specialists, ensuring that every unit is academically rigorous and standards-aligned. By designing for the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the program supports educators in meeting instructional goals while engaging students in deeper learning.
Experience
The program builds on CrunchLabs’ proven success with buildable STEM kits and hands-on learning. With a track record of shipping millions of kits, the team’s background in designing STEM learning experiences ensures students don't just watch or read about science in class—they do it.
I am sitting at my desk during my prep, and instead of making photocopies or grading papers, I am glued to my screen watching the [teacher] prep videos. In that short amount of time I have already seen four demos that will greatly improve my Magnets units. This is the kind of resource that will revive my already over the top enthusiasm for what I teach.
The progress my students made on writing testable questions from lessons 1 to 4 was incredible. One of my former 8th graders told me that she used self speak of “what am I changing?” and “what am I measuring?” when contemplating variables. So I incorporated the sentence forms you all provided with those two things, and their questions were fantastic. Thank you!!
Doing everything out of a textbook is the science I grew up with. And that’s not the science we need to prepare these kids to be able to solve the problems that they’re going to be faced with in their lives. There is no curriculum out there that is nearly as engaging or as fun as what I experienced teaching Class CrunchLabs.
The teacher-facing videos with Science Bob were extremely helpful for me because I’m a visual person and I needed to see it to understand how the hands-on challenges were run. They also helped me better understand what I should be looking for with students.
I’ve been teaching magnets for decades and the hands-on challenges were things I’ve never thought of. The Class CrunchLabs approach inspires me to change up what I do in my classroom. It's awesome.
I’ve taught many units over the years, but the Mission Maglev experience from CrunchLabs stood out. It didn’t just teach concepts—it sparked curiosity, problem-solving, and genuine excitement in my students. That’s the kind of learning that sticks.
My students loved creating an electromagnet themselves. They were like "wait, what do you mean I can build this with just a nail and some wire and a battery?" But then they were able to build it and see it work. It was definitely one of their favorite hands-on challenges.
At my school we have some days where the periods are one block of 80-minutes, and others where we have short periods of only 50-minutes. One of the things I really appreciated was feeling like the activities could flex to fit in either of those time periods. That was super, super valuable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yep, really free. The complete set of our unit, lessons, and assessments are all free for teachers to use. The hands-on classroom activities and teacher demos are designed with accessibility in mind, utilizing common household supplies that are easy to find and low cost. In the future, we may offer classroom kits for purchase if enough teachers ask us for them!
