An advanced course launch framework establishing rigorous academic policies, AP/IB preparatory standards, and the integrated biochemistry roadmap for Honors Biology.
An introductory framework establishing course policies, Indiana state biology standards, and the integrated biochemistry roadmap for the academic year.
An interactive, station-based scavenger hunt where students solve ecological mysteries to decode a final ten-letter secret cipher ('ECOSYSTEMS'). Students review core concepts like food webs, trophic levels, symbiosis, succession, biomagnification, and populations.
An engineering design challenge where students design, prototype, and test magnet mazes, exploring how different backing materials block or allow magnetic forces to pass through.
An upper elementary STEM lesson where students explore magnetic fields, poles, and non-contact forces by designing and building a physical magnet maze. Includes visual slides, a hands-on student design guide, and a comprehensive teacher lesson plan.
A highly engaging, hands-on lesson teaching the importance of precision, clarity, and chronological sequencing through the classic "Exact Instructions Challenge" using Marshmallow Fluff and Jelly. Students write step-by-step instructions, and the teacher follows them verbatim, humorously demonstrating how easily vague directions can go sticky.
An end-of-year educational movie unit and math workbook based on the story of Super Mario Galaxy. Students explore gravity, orbits, and space physics through active viewing, followed by high-energy space-themed math puzzles.
