A comprehensive review lesson covering Earth's water distribution, fossil records in rock layers, plate tectonics, and the water cycle to prepare students for the Unit 4 Quiz.

A comprehensive review lesson covering Earth's water distribution, fossil records in rock layers, plate tectonics, and the water cycle to prepare students for the Unit 4 Quiz.

Reviewing the principles of thermal energy, including states of matter, heat-related properties, and conservation of mass during heating.

A comprehensive review lesson covering Earth's water distribution, fossil records in rock layers, plate tectonics, and the water cycle to prepare students for the Unit 4 Quiz.

Students will investigate how thermal energy affects the speed and spacing of particles in a gas. They will interpret models and data to explain why hot air rises and how this principle is applied to technologies like hot-air balloons.

Students will explore how the mass of a substance remains constant even as it undergoes phase changes (freezing, melting, boiling). They will analyze data involving state changes and evaluate scientific claims about matter 'disappearing' during evaporation.

Students will review the law of conservation of mass as it applies to mixtures and dissolving. They will practice interpreting data tables to prove that matter still exists even when it is no longer visible in a solution.

A hands-on exploration of physical changes in matter, focusing on reversibility, state changes, and the conservation of identity.

Students design a balloon rocket investigation to test how varying force affects motion along a string.

Students design and conduct an experimental investigation to test the effect of force on a car traveling down a ramp.

Students compare properties of substances before and after forming solutions and demonstrate the conservation of matter.

Students investigate solubility in water and the ability of various materials to conduct or insulate thermal and electrical energy.

Students compare and contrast matter based on measurable and observable physical properties including mass, magnetism, relative density, and physical state.

A comprehensive 45-minute lesson exploring the three key processes that shape Earth's surface: weathering, erosion, and deposition. Students will identify these processes in real-world landscapes and understand their interconnected nature.

An introductory lesson on Microsoft Word basics, covering document creation, saving, text formatting, and clipboard actions (copy/cut/paste). Students will learn through a 'Word Wizardry' theme, transforming technical skills into creative magic.

An introductory lesson on physical and chemical changes for 5th-grade students, focusing on identifying signs of change and understanding reversibility.

A lesson focused on helping Level 3 ESL students master the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning framework through the analysis of bar and line graphs. Students act as 'Data Detectives' to uncover trends and support their conclusions with specific data points.

A series of feedback and reflection tools for students, parents, and teachers to evaluate learning after completing the Wild Adventure project. It uses an explorer theme to make the assessment process engaging and collaborative.

Targeted resources for Grade 5 teachers to analyze Grade 4 MCAS results and implement bridging strategies for ELA and Math.

A comprehensive strategic planning resource for educators to analyze Grade 5 MCAS results and align Grade 6 instruction with identified student needs in ELA, Math, and Science.

A hands-on lesson exploring the relationship between water level and volume, teaching students how to observe, measure, and compare how much liquid a container holds.

Students become geological detectives to investigate how rocks change over time through heat, pressure, and erosion, culminating in a mystery-solving identification challenge.

A 30-minute PLC session designed to analyze Grade 5 and 8 MCAS Science results, identifying cross-curricular opportunities for improvement through data-driven discussion and actionable teaching strategies.
