Elementary Education
Superspace brings hands-on, project-based learning to life across every grade from kindergarten through sixth. Its life-sized magnetic panels transform any classroom into a collaborative workspace where students plan, build, test, and present together. Whether your class is exploring geometry through architecture, constructing ecosystems for a science unit, or building the backdrop for a reader's theater performance, Superspace creates immersive, student-driven experiences that deepen understanding and stick. Flexible enough for centers, small groups, and whole-class design challenges, it grows with your curriculum from K through 6th grade.

Classroom Testimonials
Elementary school is where children first discover who they are as learners. Every collaborative challenge, hands-on experiment, and student-led project plants the roots of curiosity, confidence, and capability that will carry them far beyond the classroom.
Curriculum Aligned Lesson Plans for Elementary Aged Students
Our Community: Building a Town Together
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.K.1 — Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about kindergarten topics with peers and adults in small and larger groups.
CCSS.Math.Content.1.G.A.2 — Compose two-dimensional or three-dimensional shapes to create a composite shape.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.2.4 — Tell a story or recount an experience with appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details, speaking audibly in coherent sentences.
Grade Level: Kindergarten – 2nd Grade
Duration: 60 minutes
Subject: Social Studies / ELA /Mathematics / STEM
Students collaborate to design and build a life-sized model town using Superspace panels, exploring community roles and civic concepts while applying geometry, measurement vocabulary, and structured speaking and listening skills.
Engineering with Empathy: Design
Challenge
NGSS K-2-ETS1-1 — Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development
of a new or improved object or tool.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.1.1 — Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about grade 1 topics and texts with peers and adults in small and larger groups.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.2.4 — Tell a story or recount an experience with appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details, speaking audibly in coherent sentences.
Grade Level: Kindergarten – 2nd Grade
Duration: 45–60 minutes
Subject: STEM /Social-Emotional Learning / Language Arts
Students work in small groups to design and build a purposeful Superspace structure that solves a real problem, developing empathy, critical thinking, and verbal communication skills through collaborative planning, construction, and structured group presentation.
Life-Sized Marble Run Race
NGSS 3-5-ETS1-3 — Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled to identify failure points, suggest improvements, and generate ideas for meeting criteria for success.
NGSS 4-PS3-1 — Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object, and how angle and height affect motion and energy transfer.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.4.1 — Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions with diverse partners on grade 4 topics and texts, building on others' ideas and expressing their own
clearly.
Grade Level: 3rd – 5th Grade
Duration: 45–60 minutes
Subject: STEM / Science / ELA
Two teams race to design and build a life-sized marble run using only Superspace panels, then send a dodgeball rolling to the finish line — applying the engineering design cycle as they discover how angle and height affect speed.
Climbing Cat's Word Adventure
CCSS.ELA:
LITERACY.RF.K.2.D: Phoneme segmentation and isolation
LITERACY.RF.K.3.A: Letter-sound correspondence
LITERACY.RL.K.2: Story retelling and comprehension
Grade Level: Pre-K – Kindergarten
Duration: 45–60 minutes
Subject: Early Literacy / Language Development / Phonics
Students use a sensory-rich Superspace literacy board with felt letters and animals to explore phoneme segmentation, letter-sound correspondence, and CVC word building, linking vertical movement to sequential sound awareness in a hands-on, multisensory experience. Children progress from isolating individual sounds to blending and decoding simple words, reinforcing comprehension through story sequencing and illustration.
