A lesson exploring non-Mendelian inheritance patterns, specifically focusing on how alleles interact in incomplete dominance and codominance through visual modeling and Punnett squares.

Introduces shop safety protocols, material identification, and system theory for Drain, Waste, and Vent (DWV) plumbing. Students learn to navigate the stock room and understand the purpose of traps, vents, and drains.

Exploration of convection currents in fluids and a final comparison of all three heat transfer methods. Includes a teacher-led demonstration of convection in water and a summary activity.

Introduction to thermal energy and the mechanisms of conduction and radiation. Includes a teacher-led demonstration of heat traveling through solids and radiant energy from a light source.

Students identify the three types of heat transfer and explain how thermal energy moves from warmer matter to cooler matter using real-world examples.

Students apply their knowledge of heat transfer through a hands-on lab experiment involving three stations representing conduction, convection, and radiation. They will collect data and compare the efficiency and direction of heat transfer in each model.

A comprehensive set of materials focusing on the global freshwater crisis, designed to help students identify cause-and-effect relationships within complex environmental systems. Students will analyze the drivers of water scarcity, its global impact, and potential technological and policy solutions.

A comprehensive 45-minute introductory lesson on renewable and non-renewable energy sources, designed for a substitute teacher. This lesson prepares middle school students for hands-on engineering projects like wind blades and solar ovens.

An introduction to biological classification, covering the three domains of life, the six kingdoms, and the hierarchical levels of taxonomy from domain to species.

A hands-on exploration of surface tension using paperclips and water. Students challenge the law of gravity by making metal float and then investigate what breaks the 'skin' of water.

An interactive exploration of Newton's Laws of Motion through hands-on experimentation with balloon-powered rockets. Students will investigate how force impacts distance and velocity.
