Sequencing. There is no required sequence, so you can use them flexibly as suits your needs.

Activities are roughly ordered by complexity – earlier activities provide an accessible on-ramp to getting familiar with the tools and exploring basic math and science concepts. Later activities assume some familiarity with the tools and represent a higher ceiling of complexity involving data gathering, analysis and prediction. Check the Student Challenge (Intro, Medium, Advanced) field on each lesson.

Remix! We fully hope and expect that you will adapt these activities to fit within your own classroom context to meet your needs.
