Transform Chemistry Content Into Curiosity

by Leading with Practice —

Not Presentations

You’re ONE CLICK AWAY from the structure, strategy, and storylines to lead an NGSS-aligned, student-centered, inquiry-based,  chemistry classroom where curiosity is cultivated, evidence is everything, and your students actually get it.

Lab Day ≠ 3D Learning!

You might believe that since lab work is already part of your chemistry curriculum, those modern science standard expectations are being met.

But here’s the truth

Labs that follow lectures and are scored as assessments can’t meet the demands of 3-dimensional learning.

Are your labs just checking the box — or lighting a spark?

Traditional Chemistry Teaching Track

Beyond The Beaker Chemistry Curriculum

Labs follow lectures to “prove” content already taught.

Students explore first, then connect evidence to explanations.

Lab activities are scored for accuracy, not thinking.

Activities prioritize reasoning and communication.

Labs happen once a week or less.

Lab-style thinking is embedded in every lesson.

Labs reinforce content, but don’t build skills.

Students practice SEPs daily through modeling, argumentation, and more.

Students follow prompts toward one correct answer.

Students question, compare, and interpret what they observe.

The goal is to get through the activity.

The goal is to figure something out like they would in the real world.

I know, I know — it sounds too good to be true, right?

Right now, you’re wondering  . . .

“How can I physically manage to set up and tear down a lab every day?”

“How can I physically manage to set up and tear down a lab every day?”

You don’t have to.

A lab isn’t a cart of chemicals — it’s a system to explore.

With Beyond the Beaker, students work with models, simulations, data sets, and patterns they can handle daily — and you can prep without stress.

“If students don’t have prior knowledge, what can they possibly learn just by observing?”

“If students don’t have prior knowledge, what can they possibly learn just by observing?”

Everything.

That’s what 3-dimensional science standards (like NGSS!) were built on — letting students make sense of phenomena before being told the answer.

You become the mentor who makes a real difference instead of the expert performing an act on stage.

“But don’t students NEED to focus on getting the right answer?”

“But don’t students NEED to get the right answer?”

ONE right answer kills curiosity, crushes confidence, and cancels meaningful learning.

Beyond the Beaker shifts the goal to progress with the process — not perfection.

Make a difference on the daily with the curriculum that finally makes chemistry class memorable and meaningful – for both you and your students.

GO BEYOND THE BEAKER!

It’s a full-year, NGSS-aligned chemistry curriculum built to help you leverage student curiosity and nurture confidence by making consistency your co-teacher.

It includes a complete scope and sequence with lesson-level support , all grounded in a student-first approach that transforms snooze-worthy standards into daily discovery — and makes 3D learning not just possible, but practical.

THE FRAMEWORK MAKES IT FLUID!

Here’s how Beyond the Beaker shapes unforgettable storylines out of standards.

beyond the beaker chemistry curriculum contents

HS-PS1-2

Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structures

Build-a-Bond Chemistry: Connecting Atoms to Understand and Compare Chemical Compounds

If atoms are the building blocks of matter, how do they stick together to form everything from water to diamonds?

In this unit, students model how and why atoms bond — exploring patterns in electron sharing and transfer to predict the types of compounds that form. Through student-controlled investigations and guided comparisons, they build, test, and refine their understanding of ionic and covalent bonding, discovering that the properties of substances depend on how atoms are connected.

HS-PS1-4

Energy in Chemical Reactions

In, Out, and In-Between:  Classifying Chemical Reactions, Modeling Energy Flow, and Explaining Outcomes

Some reactions explode, others feel cold, and some don’t seem to do much at all. What’s happening behind the scenes?

In this unit, students use evidence to classify chemical reactions and model how energy flows in and out of systems. Through careful observation based on both what goes in and what comes out of chemical change, students learn to explain reaction outcomes using equations and reaction energy diagrams.

HS-PS1-7

Stoichiometry & Conservation of Mass in Chemistry

Count on It:  Using Math to Prove Conservation of Mass in Chemical Reactions

When atoms rearrange in a reaction, does anything get lost?

In this unit, students use stoichiometry to model and mathematically prove the law of conservation of mass. They learn to “count on” balanced equations to predict amounts of products, identify limiting reactants, and connect symbolic representations to real-world outcomes — showing that even when matter changes form, nothing truly disappears.

HS-PS1-1

Atomic Structure & Periodic Trends

Atomic Clues: Using Electrons and the Periodic Table to Reveal Element Behavior

Sure, the periodic table hangs on all chemistry classroom walls, but what is it really telling us?

In this unit, students investigate how atoms are structured — especially the way electrons are arranged — to discover why the periodic table is organized the way it is. Through modeling, observation, and pattern analysis, they reveal how electron arrangement predicts reactivity and trends, helping them decode the “atomic clues” hidden in every element.

HS-PS1-3

Bulk Properties of Substances & Attractive Forces

The Mystery of Matter:  Why Do Substances Behave The Way They Do?

Why is ice hard but butter soft? Why does perfume fill a room while salt just sits in a shaker?

In this unit, students explore the properties of solids, liquids, and gases to uncover the forces behind their behavior. By examining real materials and analyzing how they interact, students deduce the relative strength of attractive forces between particles — revealing how invisible interactions shape the properties we observe in the world around us.

HS-PS1-5/6

Reaction Rates / Equilibrium & Reversibility

Shift Happens!  What Causes a Reaction to Speed Up, Slow Down, or Go In Reverse?

Why do some reactions take seconds and others days? Why do some seem to stop — only to start again?

In this unit, students investigate the factors that affect reaction rates and explore what happens in reversible systems. By collecting data, analyzing systems, and modeling equilibrium, they learn to explain how changes in conditions “shift” the direction of a reaction and how balance can be dynamic, not static.

HS-PS1-8

Nuclear Chemistry & Radioactivity

At the Core:  Uncovering the Power—and Instability—Inside the Nucleus

Most chemistry is driven by electrons — but nuclear chemistry breaks the rules.

In this unit, students investigate what happens when the nucleus itself changes, exploring radioactive decay, nuclear energy, and the role of isotopes. Through real-world case studies and modeling decay processes, they uncover what lies at the core of an atom — and how that hidden structure leads to both powerful technologies and natural transformations.

A FLOW THAT FEELS GOOD

This isn’t a grab bag of goodies. It’s a curriculum that connects ideas, people, and purpose.

I wanted to quit.

So I built something worth staying for.

As a teacher for an online cyber charter school, I spent 10 years talking to the wall in my home office because I didn’t know how to make science come alive without a wet lab.

Then, I changed my mindset and developed a novel lesson planning framework that changed everything!

It turned my Lecture Hall Lullaby into a rhythm of reflection, exploration, and real student thinking.

My students didn’t just survive chemistry — they got curious, confident, and comfortable with challenge.

Now, I help other high school science teachers use their deep content knowledge to create the kind of classroom they actually want to teach in – one where curiosity leads and connections matter.

from day 1 to done!

Whether it’s August 1st or December 12th, Beyond the Beaker meets you wherever you are —

and gets your students where they need to go.

You’ve Got Questions – I’ve Got Answers!

Do I have to teach all the lessons in a specific order?

Nope!

Beyond the Beaker is done-for-you to avoid overwhelm—but designed to flex, so you still feel freedom.

While the full-year sequence flows logically and supports NGSS coherence, you don’t have to follow it to the letter. Each unit stands on its own and includes everything you need to plug it into your existing scope and sequence.

You can use the curriculum start to finish, unit by unit, or simply sprinkle in lessons where they make the most impact.

Either way, you’ll be building depth, supporting sensemaking, and keeping students actively engaged.

Will this work for STEELS and other NGSS-derivative, state-specific standards?

Yes!

This curriculum is fully aligned with the performance expectations and 3D learning goals of the NGSS—and because of that, it’s highly adaptable to any state-specific version like Pennsylvania’s STEELS, Illinois’ I-SSS, or other NGSS-based standards across the country.

While each state might tweak language or sequence differently, the core instructional strategies and science practices remain the same.

Each unit in Beyond the Beaker:

  • targets one or more High School Physical Science (HS-PS) standards

  • integrates Crosscutting Concepts (CCC’s) and Science & Engineering Practices (SEP’s)

  • is designed to build coherence across your year, whether you’re using a traditional scope and sequence or adjusting for local priorities.

If you’re teaching science through phenomena, using modeling and data, and aiming for deeper sensemaking—not just content recall—this curriculum will support your goals.

I’m a new science teacher—or this is my first time teaching chemistry. Will this still work for me?

Absolutely.

Beyond the Beaker gives you ready-to-go lessons so you can focus on what really matters—building relationships, leading your classroom, and growing into the teacher you’re meant to be.

You won’t have to waste energy figuring out what to teach or how to structure your time. Plus, if you enroll now, you’ll get access to bonus trainings that support your growth with student-centered strategies and a clear delivery plan from day one.

I've been teaching with inquiry-based approaches for years. How EXACTLY is this curriculum different?

If you already use inquiry-based methods, Beyond the Beaker will feel familiar—but what sets it apart is the flow.

These lessons don’t just stand alone; they’re intentionally designed to build on each other, creating coherence across units and helping students make deeper connections over time.

You’ll get thoughtfully sequenced storylines, daily opportunities for active learning, and digital tools that make it easy to keep students engaged—without disrupting your rhythm or starting from scratch.

What grade level does this curriculum work best for?

Beyond the Beaker is built for high school chemistry, but its flexible structure makes it a strong fit across a wide range of learning levels—from remedial or credit recovery programs to introductory and general/college-prep tracks, and even honors classes.

Because the curriculum is centered around skills-based instruction, evidence-based reasoning, and three-dimensional learning, it adapts easily based on how much support or challenge your students need.

Teachers have even used it successfully with accelerated 8th graders, especially in middle school programs designed to give students a head start in high school science.

To help you tailor instruction to your classroom, your purchase includes the Serve Every Student PD training on meaningful differentiation, plus monthly Differentiation Drops that apply those strategies to real lessons inside the program.

Whether you’re helping students build foundational understanding or take their thinking to the next level, Beyond the Beaker gives you the tools and guidance to make it happen—without sacrificing rigor, relevance, or student engagement.

What about worksheets, homework, tests, etc.? Is that all included?

You won’t find separate worksheet packets or homework folders hereBeyond the Beaker gives you something better: a full suite of lessons that are rich, flexible, and ready to teach.

Every PowerPoint lesson includes a complete instructional arc—from warmups and discussions to hands-on exploration, practice opportunities, and reflection. You’ll be able to pick and choose which parts to assign for classwork, homework, review, or even extra credit.

Digital worksheets (via BookWidgets) mirror each lesson and are ready to share with students. You’ll also get access to summative assessments for every NGSS-aligned unit—five full sets are available now, with more being added to the assessment archive over time.

This is a true curriculum system, not a piecemeal product. It’s designed to empower your professional judgment, not replace it.

Do I need an active BookWidgets subscription to use the digital notebooks with my students?

Nope!

If you’re happy to use them as-is, the digital notebook links can be shared directly with students—no subscription required.

A BookWidgets subscription is only necessary if you’d like to customize the notebooks, collect responses, or take advantage of auto-grading features.

Remember: If you choose Forever Access (the one-time payment option) within 48 hours of this invite, you’ll receive the full library of editable digital notebooks for free!  If not, and you decide you want them later, you’ll be able to purchase them from inside the curriculum space for $97.

In either of those cases, you’ll also need special access to import the editable notebooks into your personal BookWidgets account—and I’ll walk you through that process step by step.

How much support is included?

When you drop your question in the members-only community feed—or message me directly via live chat or email—you’ll get a thoughtful, written response within 24 hours on weekdays.

Even better? You and I aren’t alone in this!  My hope is that the Beyond the Beaker community becomes a vibrant hub where chemistry teachers share ideas, troubleshoot challenges, and support one another every step of the way.

You’ll also get ongoing professional learning through the LEAD in Science trainings and monthly Differentiation Drops, so you’re never stuck wondering how to deliver these lessons with confidence and clarity.

You’ll always have help when you need it—without waiting days or digging through forums.

When will I get access?

Immediately!

As soon as your purchase goes through, you’ll receive an email with everything you need to log in and get started. You’ll have full access to both the curriculum content and the community space right away.

If you choose FOREVER ACCESS, you’ll always get the latest updates and revisions at no additional cost.

If you opt for the monthly plan, you’ll retain access as long as your subscription stays active.

You don’t have to wait—your new chemistry teaching system is ready when you are.

How do the payments work?

You’ve got two options:

FOREVER ACCESS is a one-time payment of $450 and gives you lifetime access to the full curriculum, the private community, all updates, and any new assessments or features added later. It’s the best value—and the only way to get access to editable digital notebooks at no extra cost.
