From preparation to student evidence—in five steps.
The teacher or facilitator gets a complete weekly path, so class time can focus on student questions, teamwork, and hands-on investigation.
- 1
Review the 12-week plan
See the program overview, learning arc, session timing, and the big question students will investigate together.
- 2
Open the facilitator guide
Use the week’s goals, prompts, differentiation ideas, and safety notes to prepare without writing a lecture.
- 3
Set up the classroom
Lay out student books and workbooks, organize shared materials or stations, and assign useful team roles.
- 4
Facilitate the investigation
Introduce the question, invite predictions, and guide teams as they build, test, compare results, and revise ideas.
- 5
Capture evidence and reflect
Students complete the hands-on work, record observations, and explain their reasoning so progress is visible.
A few quick answers
Does EdReal work for mixed-age co-op groups?
Yes. The Labs use a shared predict-build-test-explain rhythm that works across a mixed-age group, with role differentiation so everyone works from the same weekly investigation.
How much preparation does a facilitator need?
EdReal Labs are designed for low facilitator prep. Materials, questions, and the weekly session structure are provided, so a facilitator guides the investigation rather than preparing lectures.
How do we get group pricing?
EdReal availability updates are open. Tell us about your group and the team will follow up with fit, group options, and next steps.
Running a homeschool co-op?
We have a page just for co-ops — mixed ages, a 90-minute meeting rhythm, and shared materials. See the co-op path.
I'd rather just see the Labs first.
You can browse all four Labs here. Running EdReal at home instead? See the family path.
