A high-stakes research project where students choose an environmental challenge to solve. Using the David Attenborough video as inspiration, students research, plan, and create a model or presentation to rescue our planet.

A field trip exploration guide for the Anne Kolb Nature Center, featuring a scavenger hunt BINGO activity and a counselor answer key.

A simulation-based lesson where students model wolf population dynamics under varying levels of human interference to understand limiting factors and conservation.

A simplified introduction to cell biology focusing on the differences between cell types and the functions of organelles using visual aids and hands-on activities.

A comprehensive review lesson covering the core foundations of chemistry, including mixtures, properties, and changes through an interactive presentation and a hands-on group analysis activity.

A week-long project where students act as travel agents for the Eco-Expedition Agency, creating digital brochures (slide presentations) for various global biomes. Students research climate, flora, fauna, and ecological connections to attract 'eco-tourists' to their assigned biome.

A lesson exploring the genetic science, ethical implications, and societal impact of CRISPR and gene editing through a futuristic case study.

A high-energy, immersive lesson where students 'travel' to different biomes using 360-degree video footage. They record observations in a field journal to compare the characteristics of temperate and tropical forests and grasslands.

A comprehensive slide presentation to guide the class through the end-of-year science review mission.

A comprehensive review of all 5th Grade NGSS science standards, featuring physical, life, and Earth/space science topics. This lesson prepares students for end-of-year assessments through a variety of question formats including graphic organizers and matching.

Review of Earth's water distribution, human impact on the environment, and engineering solutions.

Review of the Sun, stars, gravity, and the interactions between Earth's four major systems.

Review of energy flow in ecosystems, food webs, and the role of decomposers and photosynthesis.

Review of matter properties, chemical vs physical changes, and the conservation of mass.

Review of the brightness of stars, gravity, and the patterns caused by Earth's orbit and rotation.

Review of Earth's four spheres, the water cycle, and human impact on the environment.

Review of energy flow in ecosystems, photosynthesis, food webs, and the role of decomposers.

Review of matter, its properties, physical and chemical changes, and the conservation of mass.

This lesson explores the relationship between structure and function in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and how cells organize into complex organisms. Designed for diverse learners, it uses a 'Blueprint' theme to visualize biological systems as carefully designed structures.
