Students synthesize drill core data from multiple continents to construct a unified global geologic time scale, demonstrating the fragmented nature of the rock record and the power of fossil correlation.
A comprehensive lesson on graphing and interpreting heating and cooling curves, focusing on phase changes and energy transfers.
Students investigate severe weather patterns in Indiana and apply engineering principles to design and build structures capable of withstanding high-speed winds. This STEM-focused lesson combines earth science with a hands-on engineering challenge.
A hands-on simulation lesson where students act as routers and servers to understand how data packets travel across the internet using IP addresses and physical infrastructure.
A discovery of the visible spectrum, rainbow colors, and a final unit quiz to celebrate learning.
Students investigate how light bounces off mirrors and how objects block light to create shadows.
An exploration of how light travels in straight lines and what happens when those beams are interrupted.
Students identify and differentiate between natural and artificial light sources using high-contrast visuals and sorting activities.
Cette leçon explore le fonctionnement de l'intelligence artificielle appliquée à un distributeur de croquettes intelligent. Les élèves découvrent l'apprentissage supervisé pour distinguer les chiens des chats en utilisant l'interface Vittascience.

Une évaluation complète sur les interactions et les forces pour le niveau 4ème, incluant des diagrammes objets-interactions et des tracés de vecteurs.
A 90-minute investigation into how genetic mutations and chromosomal abnormalities lead to human disorders. Students act as 'genetic consultants' to analyze karyotypes, pedigrees, and mutation types.
A comprehensive 90-minute lesson on DNA, genes, chromosomes, and genetic crosses. Students explore the 'Blueprint of Life' through chunked instruction, Think-Pair-Share discussions, and hands-on modeling stations.
A 5-block (10 period) investigation into the human genome, focusing on patterns of inheritance, chromosomal disorders, and molecular biotechnology through the lens of polydactyly.
A comprehensive lesson exploring the three primary types of symbiotic relationships: mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Students analyze animal interactions through task cards, case studies, and visual organizers.
Teachers learn to break complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps using classroom routines and Iowa Core standards as examples.
A critical examination of how systemic inequities influence environmental health outcomes, focusing on Flint's water and urban air quality. Students analyze data and develop advocacy products to promote environmental justice.
