What is Mosa Mack Science?
Mosa Mack Science is a library of NGSS-aligned, inquiry units containing three lessons:
The Solve: An animated science mystery and vocabulary manipulative
The Make: A hands-on lab
The Engineer: An engineering challenge that allows students to apply what they've learned to solve real world scenarios.
The lessons focus on teacher support and include assessment rubrics, graphic organizers for students and prepared PowerPoint presentations.
Where did Mosa Mack Science come from?
Mosa Mack Science was born out of one teacher's frustration with the existing resources for middle school science educators. While teaching science in New York City, founder Lissa Johnson realized that the online resources were ineffective: they lectured her students and failed to make science relevant. Johnson wanted to fix this problem and created Mosa Mack Science to inspire a new generation of scientists. The Mosa Mack team now includes writers from This American Life, artists from Nickelodeon and expert curriculum creators out of the Stanford Scale program. Through this team, Mosa Mack Science breathes life into inquiry science.
