Companion Unit Study for Homeschoolers
Project Hail Mary
An Epic Space Story for Curious Minds
Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no memory until he realizes his mission: discover what’s dimming the sun and threatening life on Earth.
As his memory returns, he leans on scientific thinking, problem-solving, and creativity… and then meets Rocky, an unexpected friend with the same goal: save his own world.
This Companion Unit Study includes five fun, educational exploration lessons, each centered around the movie and designed to cover a different academic subject.
Middle and high school students will dive deeper into the film’s themes as they prepare for the final activity: a homeschool matinee field trip on Friday, March 20, 2026, to see Project Hail Mary.
These lessons are perfect for families, co-ops, and local homeschool communities to experience together.
