Cosmic Dance Project

A comprehensive curriculum map, pacing guide, and foundational launch materials for 7th-grade Ohio Science, spanning Earth, Physical, and Life sciences. Includes curriculum planning tools, safety agreements, and standards checklists.

Foundational curriculum planning tools, safety frameworks, standards guides, and introductory scientific inquiry materials for launching 7th-grade Ohio Science.

A highly organized, 2-page reference guide detailing suggested exam formats, cognitive weights, key vocabulary databases, and sample Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) prompts for Earth, Physical, and Life science units.

A 2-day adapted science sequence on the hydrosphere and the water cycle designed for 9th-10th grade SPED students. It explores the stages of the water cycle, its connection to biology through plant transpiration and local ecosystems, and features highly scaffolded, multi-tiered student activities.

An introductory lesson exploring plant and animal cells, their differences, and the roles of key organelles (nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, mitochondria, chloroplast, ribosomes, ER, Golgi body, and vacuoles) through visual slides, structured guided notes, a creative cell-coloring activity, and a quick exit ticket assessment.

A 2-page curriculum planner and tracker checklist mapping all 7th-grade Ohio New Learning Standards for Science. Details clear, actionable student learning targets with checkbox fields and columns for tracking classroom mastery.

An immersive, two-part biology unit exploring the intricate anatomy and chemical wonders of plants. Students investigate plant organs and survival needs in Lesson 1, and map the chemistry of photosynthesis and respiration in Lesson 2.

This lesson connects the water cycle to biology, focusing on plant transpiration (how water moves through roots and leaves) and how local watersheds and ecosystems rely on the water cycle to sustain animal and plant habitats.

A 2-page, hands-on scientific inquiry lab worksheet guiding students through the experimental design process. Using the 'Penny Drop' water cohesion experiment, students define variables, write hypotheses, collect data, graph results, and write evidence-based conclusions.

An immersive chemistry sequence exploring states of matter, physical and chemical transformations, conservation laws, and thermodynamics. Students investigate microscopic and macroscopic behaviors through structured notes, slides, and hands-on worksheets.

This lesson introduces the hydrosphere and the 4 key stages of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. It uses highly structured visuals, tracing, matching, and word banks designed for 9th-10th grade SPED students with diverse IEP needs.

A student safety kit containing a comprehensive 10-point lab safety contract on Page 1 with student/parent signature blocks, and a 10-question diagnostic safety quiz on Page 2 with scenario-based questions.
