A STEM-integrated lesson exploring how ancient Aztec and Mesoamerican farmers engineered modern corn through the process of selective breeding, transitioning from wild teosinte grass to the large cobs we eat today.
A series of visual anchor charts designed for reference during laboratory investigations into plant vascular systems, photosynthesis, and transpiration.
A high-energy, movement-based review activity where students solve 'medical cases' by identifying body systems and their functions. This lesson includes task cards for a classroom scavenger hunt and a structured recording sheet for students.
A two-block exploration of animal systems, focusing on homeostasis, nutrient absorption, reproduction, and defense mechanisms.
A two-block investigation into plant tissue systems, vascular transport, reproductive adaptations, and environmental responses.
A lesson exploring the symbiotic relationship between humans and gut bacteria, focusing on the gut-brain connection and the impact of nutrition on mood. Students create metaphors for their microbiome and identify ways to support beneficial bacteria.
Students analyze the relationship between chemical structure, mode of delivery, and addiction potential using the 'Speed of Delivery' concept. The lesson features a comparative analysis of substances like heroin vs. morphine and vaping vs. nicotine patches to understand the biological 'why' behind addiction.
This lesson connects behavioral symptoms of schizoaffective disorder to neurotransmitter imbalances and explores the pharmacological mechanisms of antipsychotics and mood stabilizers through research and diagramming.
A middle school science lesson exploring neuroplasticity through medical recovery case studies. Students investigate how the brain 'reroutes' neural pathways after injury using adaptation and recovery strategies.
A 6th-8th grade science and health lesson exploring neuroplasticity through a hands-on yarn simulation and a video-based discussion. Students learn how neural pathways strengthen through use and dissolve through neglect.
Students investigate the intersection of neurobiology and external substances, analyzing how drugs and hormones alter neurotransmitter function to change a person's perception of reality.
A comprehensive biology lesson for 9th-10th grade students exploring the biological feedback loops between the endocrine and nervous systems during stress, focusing on the role of corticosteroids, the amygdala, and the prefrontal cortex in memory.
Bilan des acquis à travers une évaluation sommative permettant de vérifier la compréhension de l'énoncé du principe d'inertie et sa mise en œuvre dans des situations variées.
Application du principe d'inertie et de sa réciproque pour prédire ou expliquer le mouvement d'objets du quotidien. Consolidation via des exercices de synthèse.
Utilisation d'un simulateur numérique pour explorer l'effet de forces compensées ou non sur le mouvement d'un système. Introduction de la notion de forces qui se compensent.
Introduction historique au principe d'inertie à travers l'opposition entre Aristote et Galilée/Newton. Les élèves découvrent que le mouvement ne nécessite pas forcément une force pour être maintenu.
A lesson for 7th-8th grade science focusing on the biological and genetic foundations of autism. Students debunk common myths, analyze brain development through video, and research how the brain interacts with other body systems in co-occurring conditions.
