A curriculum that is specifically designed to meet the STEM requirements. This module presents projects and explorations in dynamics or energy and its various forms. As with all STEM-based curriculum, it incorporates open-ended enquiry, and is completely project-based.

Aimed at lower elementary, it contains explorations for each level, prompting children to have in-depth conversations based on a spiraled set of explorations.
