A 501(c)(3) on a mission to make underrepresented students more visible in K12 STEM curriculum.

Ever seen a cool TikTok experiment & wondered about the science behind it? 🔥

That’s exactly what Jaida does when she sees magnesium react with oxygen in a bright flash and turn into a white powder. But how did a shiny metal turn into something completely different?

Join Mr. Jones, Jaida, Da’Shawn, and Emelyn as they investigate chemical reactions, reactants and products, conservation of matter, and what happens to atoms during a chemical reaction.

Hispanic Heritage Month is here, and we’re highlighting five scientists whose work spans environmental science 🌱, Earth and space science 🌎, biology 🧬, and anatomy and physiology 🦴.

Each connects directly to real classroom standards and instructional moments because representation should be part of how students learn the science, not separate from it.

Save this for your next unit and tag a teacher who needs it! 🔬

Teachers learn by doing, too! 🧪🍬

At CRSci, teachers experience learning just like their students: exploring, discussing, drawing, planning, and even performing.

This is what joyful professional learning looks like. 🙌🏽

Bring our All About Skittles CER Workshop or another CRSci workshop tailored to your school or district!

How do you get an element named after you on the periodic table? 👀

Da’Shawn already has one in mind: Da’Shawnium, D’S.

Join Mr. Jones and his class as they break down atoms and the periodic table while Da’Shawn figures out what it actually takes to add a new element.

And stick around for a special appearance from Dr. Clarice Phelps, the first Black woman recognized for contributing to the discovery of an element! 🔬

Cultural relevance is more than what students see in the curriculum. It’s also about how we teach.

At CRSci, that means diversifying learning strategies to meet scholars where they are while maintaining the rigor they need to succeed.

Hear from Dr. McFarlane about how our curriculum gives educators multiple ways to engage, support, and challenge every learner.

Can your hairstyle teach you science? 🌧️

When Emelyn’s freshly straightened hair curls back up in the rain, one simple question sparks an entire classroom investigation: Was that a physical change or a chemical change?

Join Mr. Jones, Jaida, Da’Shawn, and Emelyn as they investigate physical and chemical properties, physical and chemical changes, and how matter changes at the particle level through a story students won’t forget.

🎉 The new CRSci Curriculum Hub is officially LIVE!

Everything science teachers loved about our free Learning Hub is still here. We’ve simply brought it together with our premium curriculum in one centralized platform, making it easier than ever to access engaging, classroom-ready science resources.

Our goal is simple: put high-quality, culturally relevant science instruction in the hands of every science teacher.

A special thank you to Fast Forward and Su Yuen Chin of MomoCentral for partnering to bring this platform to life, and Hai Nguyen, our Product Designer, for creating an intuitive, beautiful, teacher-centered experience.

This launch marks Phase 1, and we’re excited to continue building tools and resources that help science teachers engage more students.

These summer heat waves have been no joke. ☀️

So what happens when Jaida leaves her Vaseline in her backpack?

That’s how CRSci continues its brand-new Physical Science series.

Episode 2: States of Matter and Phase Changes uses a relatable classroom moment to teach students about solids, liquids, gases, plasma, particle motion, thermal energy, and phase changes.

This lesson helps students connect everyday experiences to the science behind them.

🚨 Calling all 8th Grade Physical Science teachers!

We’re looking for a small group of educators to help pilot our brand-new animated middle school physical science video series!

As a pilot teacher, you’ll receive:
🎬 Free access to the animated video lessons
📄 Ready-to-use student video guides
💵 A $150 participation stipend upon successful completion
💬 The opportunity to help shape future lessons before they’re released more broadly

We’re looking for teachers who are excited to bring engaging, relatable, and standards-aligned science instruction into their classrooms and provide feedback throughout the pilot.

📅 Applications close July 30.
