Everything I use with my 6th- and 8th-graders — free to steal and remix. Tap a category to flip it open right here; each item opens in a new tab.
Pick a game style, paste in your vocab, and I’ll build a custom version for your class. I’ll email you when it’s ready — and if it saves you time, send me a donut! (See the QR.)

Meet Mr. Kos
Hi! I co-teach 6th-grade general science — our crash course through physics, cell biology, ecology, and human anatomy — and 8th-grade earth science, where we dig into rocks, weather, and the planet under our feet.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past 15 years, it’s that science isn’t a list of facts to memorize — it’s a love borne from being curious about everything. If I can get you to look at a puddle, a bug, or the night sky and ask, “wait, why?”, that’s a win. Welcome to the lab.

Notes from the Road
Through educator travel grants I’ve taken courses all over the world — then stuck around afterward for solo adventures. Here are the itineraries, maps, and notes from each trip. I’m still scrubbing out the private bits, so links go live as each one’s ready.
