Synthesize learning with logic puzzles and a final assessment of binary concepts and communication patterns.

Apply binary knowledge to engineering challenges, specifically focusing on how code can be used to improve digital images.

Discover how images are converted into binary code, transmitted, and reconstructed by receiving devices through hands-on pixel art.

Explore binary code through various scientific reading formats, focusing on how devices use patterns to talk to each other.

Introduce students to the concept of patterns as a means of communication and define key vocabulary for the week.

Students will learn to identify the ten primary cloud types, categorize them by altitude, and predict weather outcomes based on cloud formations.

An exploration of life in America during World War II, focusing on how rationing, Victory Gardens, and community efforts supported the war from home.

Students explore the eight planets of our solar system, learning about their unique characteristics and the forces that keep them in orbit.

A 4-hour independent learning sequence where students investigate fossil formation, environmental changes over time, and the secrets of the fossil record.

Synthesizing knowledge to analyze a fossil "dig site" and completing a final assessment.

Exploring the differences between body fossils (bones, teeth) and trace fossils (footprints, burrows).

Using fossil evidence to determine whether an area was once a marine, desert, or forest environment.

Introduction to how fossils form through the process of sedimentary rock layering and preservation.

A whole-group lesson where students identify cause and effect relationships by analyzing how animal adaptations help fairy tale creatures survive their stories.

A comprehensive introduction to how telescopes work, their history, and the famous ones that help us see deep into space. Students will explore different types of telescopes through a massive research quest.

This four-day lesson guides students through the physics of sound, focusing on pitch and wavelength. It features a teacher-led demonstration of vibrating strings/rulers and a high-interest scientific journal article designed for Lexile 600-800 readers.

A simplified, symbol-supported lesson on surface water movement, covering watersheds, stream systems, and flood safety, themed around the world of Equestria.

A comprehensive science lesson exploring the complex interactions within ecosystems and the flow of energy through food webs. Includes instruction, reading comprehension, and assessment materials.

An introductory lesson on the hydrosphere and water systems featuring My Little Pony characters to explain complex concepts like groundwater, watersheds, and conservation through symbol-supported text.

A hands-on, asynchronous observation lesson where students track the movement and size of shadows over the course of a single day to understand Earth's rotation and data collection.

An introductory science lesson on surface tension where students conduct a hands-on experiment at home using coins, water, and soap to observe how molecules stick together.

A cross-curricular lesson integrating North Carolina's gold rush history with physical properties of matter, landform changes, and ecosystem impacts. Students will explore the chronology of the 1799 discovery while analyzing the science behind the 'Golden State's' first boom.
