A 3rd-grade introduction to genetics focusing on how we have two versions of every gene and how small changes in those genes (mutations) can change our traits. Students act as code-breakers to discover how living things get their unique features.

A comprehensive set of materials designed for MCAS-Alt portfolios, focusing on the plant life cycle (birth, growth, reproduction, and death) through sequencing and model-building.

A comprehensive resource set for teaching and assessing the flow of matter in ecosystems, specifically designed for MCAS-Alt data collection. Students will identify roles (producer, consumer, decomposer) and build models of energy flow using food chains.

A lesson focused on observing and questioning inherited traits in animals (dogs, cats, and humans) designed for MCAS Alt evidence collection. Students use structured sentence stems to record observations and develop inquiry questions about how traits are passed from parents to offspring.

Explore the fascinating world of birds that have traded flight for other incredible skills in this engaging introductory lesson.

A hands-on project where students explore their own traits and talents. Students will document their unique 'code' and present their findings through a structured project guide.

Focuses on summarizing Kamal's story and digging deeper into character feelings. Students will compare literal text with implied meaning and practice identifying the main idea and key supporting details.

Students will define and distinguish between inherited traits (hair color, eye color) and talents (singing, sports) using Kamal's story as a guide. They will use a graphic organizer to categorize these features and complete a varied question worksheet.

A lesson focused on understanding the human digestive system, tracking the path of food and the role of helper organs.

Students investigate the relationship between temperature and molecular motion by observing food coloring in hot and cold water. They take on the role of 'Thermal Scientists' to solve a real-world heating problem.
