A technical guide and corrected codebase for creating switch-accessible mystery games for visually impaired students. Includes the fixed Python script and an explanation of common pitfalls in accessibility programming.
An instructional sequence exploring cellular growth, cell division, and cellular energetics. Students investigate multicellular regrowth and regeneration (HS-LS1-4) and model the transformation of solar energy into chemical energy via photosynthesis (HS-LS1-5).
An in-depth lesson on protein synthesis and molecular inheritance (NGSS HS-LS1-1). Students model how DNA sequences determine mRNA codons and final amino acid chains to construct functional proteins that carry out vital cellular tasks.
An 'I-Learn' structured active assessment for HS-LS1-1. Features highly rigorous multiple-choice and multiple-select questions guiding students from DNA transcription to translation, protein folding mutations, and cellular specialization.
An 8-session intensive behavioral intervention sequence for students in grades K-2 targeting vocal noises, humming, or calling out during independent work. It teaches playful replacement behaviors: holding a quiet, puffy 'Bubble Breath' (like a balloon) or a firm 'Lip Press' (making a flat, silent mouth) to settle urges and maintain classroom focus.
An inquiry-based lesson on cellular energy conversion (NGSS HS-LS1-5). Students investigate how chloroplasts capture and convert solar light energy into stored chemical energy (carbohydrates) through graphical and mathematical modeling.
A standalone 1-page active inquiry handout featuring a structured I-LEARN reading task for HS-LS1-5, guiding students through Investigate, Learn, Examine, Analyze, and Reflect multiple-choice questions about energy transduction in photosynthesis.
A comprehensive educational unit celebrating neurodiversity, acceptance, and inclusive communication across elementary grades. It equips educators with slide presentations and reflection tools tailored for K-2 and 3-5 students to cultivate empathetic classrooms.
An in-depth lesson exploring tissue regeneration in planaria and axolotls to address NGSS HS-LS1-4. Students engage with an 'I-Learn' style reading on stem cells, mitosis, and differentiation, followed by a scaffolded, data-focused quiz with guided scientific analysis.
An 'I-Learn' structured active reading guide focusing on the biological and energy conversion mechanisms of photosynthesis, specifically targeting how solar energy is converted into stored chemical energy (NGSS HS-LS1-5). Includes multiple-choice comprehension questions.
A progressive life-skills curriculum designed to teach students how to identify, categorize, and sort grocery items. Starts with kitchen storage sorting (fridge, freezer, pantry) and advances to sorting by major retail grocery store departments.
This lesson explores the hierarchical organization of living organisms from cells to tissues, organs, organ systems, and whole organisms, aligned with NGSS MS/HS-LS1-2 standards.
A comprehensive teacher-facing answer key and instructional rubric for the Solar Synthesis Showdown and Reading Guide. Features detailed mathematical solutions, chemical stoichiometry step-by-step breakdowns, and guides on standard HS-LS1-5.
