The xylem carries water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves, while the phloem transports sugars and amino acids produced during photosynthesis to the rest of the plant.
How do plants move water, minerals, and sugars without a heart or circulatory system? Plants rely on specialized vascular tissues to transport materials throughout the organism.
Learners are encouraged to solve puzzles, uncover clues, and discover how humans and animals are connected while developing scientific thinking and problem-solving skills.

As Rafael Dilan Gracia, process improvement engineer at Amgen, explains:
“It’s important to have a diverse background in science even if you are on an engineering team. Science with engineering is a good combination.”
In this role, engineers analyze data, assess process safety, optimize workflows, and collaborate across teams. Their work connects laboratory discoveries to manufacturing environments, whether developing medicines, improving sustainability, or strengthening industrial systems.

Engineering does not belong to one type of person. It belongs to those who are curious, persistent, and willing to work through complex problems with others.
Explore various engineering career spotlights 👇
Engineering is a creative and collaborative process. It brings together people with different strengths to design, test, refine, and improve solutions to real-world challenges. Careers in engineering span industries, disciplines, and interests.
Text reads: “Stay open to the idea you could be good at things you may not have heard about. Learning is about the skills we carry; the roles will always change and there are many roles out there—so give some a try!” - Ngoni Madungwe, Process Engineer.
Text reads: "In our group we use techniques from electronics engineering and materials science to solve electrical engineering problems." - Professor Peter Gammon, Electronics Engineer
What does an engineer look like? For many people, the word “engineer” still brings to mind a narrow image: someone who is naturally gifted in math or who followed a single, clearly defined path. But engineering is far more expansive than that.
Ideal for media literacy units, school news programs, or helping students strengthen story ideas and pitches.
Through discussion, trend analysis, and real-world examples, students examine how reporters use guidelines, audience needs, and digital tools like social media to shape news coverage.
What makes a story newsworthy? In this teaching guide, created by PBS News Student Reporting Labs, students explore how journalists decide which stories are worth reporting and why newsworthiness can look different depending on audience, location, and context.
Text reads: You're already thinking like an engineer. Engineering isn't just bridges and circuits. It's how you solve problems.
Text reads: Engineering is the process of trying, refining, and trying again.
Text reads: When you question how something works, you're thinking like an engineer.
Text reads: If you've ever made something work better, you've used engineering logic.
Engineering skills impact everything from environmental conservation to healthcare innovation. Yet many students never see how classroom science connects to engineering careers.
You don’t have to build a bridge to think like an engineer.

#CollaboratorSpotlight
In the game, students help a scientist escape her lab by solving puzzles and uncovering clues. Along the way, they explore big ideas—like common ancestors, shared traits, and how scientists use evidence to understand the natural world—all in a way that feels approachable, fun, and engaging.
🕵️♀️ Learn science through play with the Unstoppable Us Detective Game: The Missing Code, created by Sapienship. It’s an interactive learning experience for Grades 4–7 that introduces students to DNA, heredity, and evolution through storytelling and problem-solving.
This teaching guide supports media literacy by helping students identify storytelling elements like visuals, empathy, and conflict—and reflect on how those choices shape meaning and impact.
In this teaching guide, created by PBS News Student Reporting Labs, students explore the key elements that make great nonfiction video stories, including news packages, video profiles, explainers, and short documentaries.
What makes a video story good isn’t just the topic, it’s how you tell the story. Videos combine visuals and narration to convey information up to six times faster than text alone, making them a powerful medium for storytelling, education, and engagement.
