Standards alignment
Lessons in this school support Next Generation Science Standards work in weather and climate, including MS-ESS2-5 ("Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses result in changes in weather conditions"), which the thunderstorm, fronts, and radar material serves directly, and the ocean-and-energy ideas behind MS-ESS2-6. Alignment notes ship with each new lesson, and elementary-band mappings are being verified now.
Coming for classrooms
Two reading levels per lesson (scholarly and young reader), device-local class profiles that print student names onto worksheets, and progress tracking that never leaves the device. Your students' data is not a product here; nothing about them ever reaches us.
