Complete lesson syllabus

Every lesson below contains age-banded facts and quiz questions. Some lessons also include a make-or-explain artifact prompt. Titles are shown in their current course order.

  1. The Sun & Inner Planets
    Example: Our space story starts with our own neighborhood: the Sun is a medium-sized star about 93 million miles from Earth, and four rocky planets orbit close to it.
  2. Our Moon
    Example: Before we travel to the giant outer planets, we stop at our closest neighbor: the Moon is about 238,900 miles from Earth โ€” close enough that its light reaches us in just over a second.
  3. The Outer Planets
    Example: Now that we know the inner planets and Earth's Moon, we jump a huge distance past Mars to meet the outer planets โ€” and the first thing you notice is these are not rocky worlds like Earth; they are giants made of gas and ice.

How age adaptation works

The lesson record contains separate fact sets and quiz questions for Pre-K, kindergarten, early elementary, and upper elementary. This is not the same paragraph with a smaller font: vocabulary, detail, and question demands can change by age band. Parents can still choose a different level if their child needs it.

Assessment and records

Course quizzes provide immediate practice feedback. Completion and progress can feed parent-managed records, but a quiz score is not a teacher-issued grade, independent diagnosis, or accredited course credit.
