Green Ninja is aligned to the NGSS and provides students the opportunity to discover the relevance of science in their lives

Grounded in research

The curriculum framework was developed through academic research at San Jose State University and demonstrates the impact that education can have on carbon emissions.

READ THE FULL RESEARCH >

What works in the classroom

The curriculum aims to engage students in science through personal inquiry and action. Students find science meaningful and relevant by solving real-world problems and deepening connections to the environment.

100% Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards

The curriculum was built from the ground up with a team of education experts and middle school teachers. Students use the three dimensions to make sense of real-world phenomenon.

The Green Ninja Learning System provides flexible resources for educators and students

Digital and printed resources

Access lessons through the online teacher portal or printed Teacher Companion for offline prep.

Assign resources and assessments to students via your LMS or Google Classroom.

Reference science content, teacher tips, and instructional notes for professional teaching support along the way.

Minds-on, hands-on approach

Student workbooks provide a place for inquiry, observations, and note taking where students think and approach problems like scientists and engineers.

Customize learning with editable Google files.

Spanish translations are included to support EL learners.

Support learning with readings and end-of-unit resources.

Materials Kits for hands-on activities

Hands-on activities are a regular part of every classroom to make science come alive for their students.

Each unit of instruction has a starter and refill kit.

Kits may serve up to 32 or 40 students.

Materials are low-cost, easily available, and resource conscious products whenever possible.

We invite you to explore our units in depth. Sign up for free guest access to sample our materials.
