Proof We Understand Museum Learning

Museum of Science, Boston

SRM partnered with the Museum of Science to update three of their Engineering is Elementary (EiE) units to better reflect NGSS 3D learning and project-based assessment: Cleaning Up an Oil Spill, Designing Plant Packages, and Designing Windmills. Grades K–6.

A real museum-authored engineering curriculum, refreshed by SRM to meet current NGSS standards.

One World Observatory

SRM built five topics across nine lessons for grades 3–12, tying the 360° view of New York City to economics, history, geography, science, and engineering — with pre-visit, onsite, and post-visit activities.

“The process of working with Six Red Marbles was very seamless. It's clear that they are subject matter experts and understood the goals we were aiming to achieve.”
— Blaine McCurry, Director of Marketing, Sales & Sponsorship, One World Observatory

View Boston

Fifteen lesson plans across five grade bands (3–12) covering history, engineering, and civics, guiding students through View Boston's exhibits atop the Prudential Tower.

“This collaboration with Six Red Marbles allows us to seamlessly integrate engaging and interactive curriculum into the exploration of our observatory.”
— Justin Rink, General Manager, View Boston

Verizon & the Smithsonian Institution

Verizon asked SRM to help transform Smithsonian digital resources into cohesive, teacher-ready learning experiences for grades 6–8. SRM curated assets around shared themes, identified connections across science, math, language arts, and social studies standards, designed multidisciplinary lesson frameworks, and developed accessible instructional content — with guidance for adapting lessons for younger and older learners.

The result: Smithsonian resources became more than a collection of individual assets — they became the foundation for connected, standards-aligned classroom experiences.

HMH Virtual Chemistry Lab

HMH partnered with SRM to create 12 high school chemistry virtual labs on a compressed timeline. SRM brought together chemistry educators and learning designers to build inquiry around real-world problems, make advanced content accessible without oversimplifying it, and guide students through experimentation, analysis, and reflection.

The result: rigorous digital learning that helped students explore chemistry through active problem-solving.

Van Andel Institute for Education

SRM partnered with VAI to turn on-site field trip science programs into 40 classroom-ready K–8 science lessons. VAI had strong field trip content, but it came from different educators in different formats with inconsistent instructional detail — and this was VAI's first time working with an outside vendor, so building trust and nailing their voice was part of the job.

The result: a consistent instructional voice and classroom-ready lessons that extend the reach of VAI's on-site field trip programming — including lesson blueprints, teacher guides, student slides and worksheets, and production-ready files.

Interactive 3D, Ready to Explore

This is the kind of interactive asset SRM can build directly into museum interactive stations, take-home materials, or digital guides — a fully explorable 3D model that can incorporate quizzes and interactive lessons as part of the asset.
