Get your students ready for the Texas 2026 Science STAAR test! Kesler Science and the Science Duo have teamed up to create the ultimate 8th grade science STAAR review for your students.

This 13-day, student-led review allows your students to build their confidence and refresh their recall just in time for the test.

This is a fresh version for 2026 that includes STAAR 2.0 questions and includes all the updates for the new 2024 TEKS.

Materials include:

  • 41 student-led stations that cover the current middle school (grades 6-8) TEKS standards. Digital and paper versions included.
  • Each station includes an engaging activity, an extension, and reflection questions that are aligned with the TEKS, plus student answer sheets and teacher answer keys
  • Video setup instructions for each station for teacher reference
  • Built-in student checks for a majority of the stations
  • 40 STAAR-formatted practice questions and mastery document. Includes NEW STAAR 2.0 question types. Digital and paper versions included.
  • STAAR TEKS snapshot
  • Sequence calendar
  • Frequency distribution chart (2013-2022 STAAR tests)
  • STAAR hacking strategy video (new for 2026!)
  • Daily materials list (this will not break your budget)

What Materials Will I Need?
Most of the stations won't require any additional materials, but some stations use perishable items and common pieces of lab equipment. The full materials list can be found by opening the Preview (click "View Preview" above).

All of the stations also have a digital version that can be completed by the students independently. Students will not need any supplies when using the digital versions. The digital versions do not require any additional materials other than PPT or Google Slides. The files can be found with the daily station activities and have “DIGITAL” appended to the end of the file names.

"My students found this engaging and a great review. They said they feel like I should do this sooner in the year and give more in-depth lessons on things they forgot about. This is a wonderful tool that I will continue to use."

Is the Lone STAAR Launch included in the Kesler Science Membership?

The Lone STAAR Launch is a collaborative project with The Science Duo and therefore is not part of the Kesler Science Membership. All current and future Kesler Science classroom materials are included in the
Membership.

What is the difference between a teacher-purchased license and a school-purchased license?

A teacher-purchased license is paid for directly by the teacher. It is a one-time purchase and the license is owned by the teacher. The materials can be used only by that teacher at whatever school the teacher moves to in the future.

A school-purchased license is purchased for each teacher with school funds. It is a one-time purchase and the license stays with the school. If the original teacher leaves the school, they may not take the materials with them. Their login will be reassigned to a teacher of the school's choosing.

"This is by far the best STAAR review I have used in my classroom. My students were engaged the whole time and enjoyed each activity. I became a facilitator in the classroom as they worked through their review. Early returns say it was a HUGE success."
