Superstructures helps science students think like scientists by observing phenomena, asking questions, and exploring ideas together. It gives the whole class a shared space to discuss scientific concepts and make sense of how systems work across biology, chemistry, and physics. Students contribute ideas simultaneously—sharing observations, modeling relationships, and explaining their thinking—while seeing how classmates reason in real time. Structured formats support core science thinking skills such as questioning, comparison, and explanation, moving students beyond memorization toward deeper conceptual understanding. The result is a classroom where reasoning is visible and students engage in meaningful, collaborative sense-making.
Create the Superstructure and share its class code with your students. As you introduce the structure topic, also share learning goals, discuss norms, and set expectations for student responses. Tell students to click the "Watch Help Video" button when they enter the structure.
Encourage students as they work and ask guiding questions along the way. Refer to the Class Insights panel in the Teacher View for helpful notes and perspective on class activity. Monitor the Student Progress panel to celebrate student successes and identify those who need extra support.
Lead your class in a discussion. We recommend discussing patterns, clusters, and outliers in student thinking. Celebrate students who've earned badges. Utilize Class Insights in Teacher View for helpful ideas.
This guide highlights a set of Science examples for each of the ten Superstructures. Each structure title links to its section in the Structures Guide, and each screenshot links to a completed sample. You’ll also find links for ready-to-use structure templates, which you can use as-is or adapt for your own classroom.
