A four-day 3rd-grade science sequence aligned to Arizona standards 3.L2U1.7 and 3.E1U1.4. Across four 20-minute blocks, students explore how the Sun's energy flows through food chains, the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers, how chains connect into webs, and how ecosystem changes affect living things.

A set of three scaffolded, special-education-friendly review worksheets and a teacher answer key aligned to The Earth's Crust presentation notes. Covers vocabulary, continental drift, plate boundaries, mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes with word banks, visual diagrams, and chunked tasks.

A K-2 reading passage introducing the four main parts of a plant—roots, stem, leaves, and flower—and how each part helps the plant grow. Includes a student name/date header, a visual word bank, and clear, decodable sentences.

A 4-part Grade 6 special education science unit exploring the properties of light and how it interacts with matter. Features hands-on investigations, high-contrast visual supports, and accessible 2nd-3rd grade readability.

A multi-day hands-on investigation comparing how fast seeds sprout in soil versus a damp paper towel bag. Includes an accessible student lab worksheet, visual presentation slides, and a teacher facilitation guide.

A 4-page printable special education review packet covering Crust and Drift, Layers of the Earth, Plate Boundaries, and Mountains and Volcanoes. Features word banks, a visual Earth layers diagram, presentation boundary diagrams, and scaffolded response boxes.

A middle school project-based learning unit bridging motion, distance-time graphs, and energy transformations through a hands-on 15-meter propeller car design challenge.

Day 4 investigates how changes in an environment—like drought or losing one species—create ripple effects across a food web, connecting 3.L2U1.7 and 3.E1U1.4. Students analyze cause-and-effect scenarios and predict ecosystem outcomes.

A 1-page teacher answer key providing complete solutions for all four pages of the Earth's Crust Review Packet (Crust and Drift, Layers of the Earth, Plate Boundaries, and Mountains and Volcanoes).

An immersive marine science sequence preparing students for the Ocean Institute Junior Scientist Lab in Dana Point. Students investigate global ocean basins, depth zones, plankton ecology, seasonal wave and shell deposition, coastal hazards and flooding in Southern California, and build a collaborative classroom ocean mural.

Day 3 shows how separate food chains overlap to form a food web and how predators and prey help control populations. Students read about desert connections and model a simple food web.

A 7-slide science investigation deck introducing the question of whether seeds sprout faster in soil or in a damp bag, complete with background concepts, hypothesis prompts, fair test variables, setup steps, and daily observation guidelines.
