Free, research-based science units, games, and videos from the Smithsonian. #
The Smithsonian Science Education Center shares a library of free curriculum and resources, from full science units to digital games and short videos. Materials are built around inquiry, so students ask questions and investigate instead of just reading answers. It’s a strong backbone for a weekly STEAM block in an expanded learning program.
How to Use This Resource #
1. Filter the curriculum library by grade band and topic.
2. Pick one unit and break it into 30-45 minute afterschool sessions.
3. Use the digital games as a warm-up or a station for early finishers.
