Mammals that lay eggs? Meat-eating plants? Squid as long as 43 feet? These are just a few of the strange-sounding subjects featured in June’s Spotlight: Weird Science. Explore such topics as monotremes, carniverous plants, giant squid, hiccups, aliens, nanotechnology, black holes, bruises, cnidarians, bats, lice (k-3) and yes, even boogers. Be sure to check out the fun lesson for creating a Cniadarian Aquarium as a fun end of the year project!

This month, our Spotlight: Ancient Cultures goes around the world and back in time to look at topics from Athens, the Sumerians, the Seven Wonders, and Cleopatra to the Great Wall of China, Inca Civilization, Egyptian Pharaohs, and the fall of the Roman Empire. K-3 topics include ancient China and ancient Egypt. See what your students already know with our Roman Republic Quiz, and try out our related lesson plans or interactive Activity Pages that you can type right into!
