A series of visual anchor charts designed for reference during laboratory investigations into plant vascular systems, photosynthesis, and transpiration.

A high-energy, movement-based review activity where students solve 'medical cases' by identifying body systems and their functions. This lesson includes task cards for a classroom scavenger hunt and a structured recording sheet for students.

A lesson exploring the symbiotic relationship between humans and gut bacteria, focusing on the gut-brain connection and the impact of nutrition on mood. Students create metaphors for their microbiome and identify ways to support beneficial bacteria.

A middle school science lesson exploring neuroplasticity through medical recovery case studies. Students investigate how the brain 'reroutes' neural pathways after injury using adaptation and recovery strategies.

A 6th-8th grade science and health lesson exploring neuroplasticity through a hands-on yarn simulation and a video-based discussion. Students learn how neural pathways strengthen through use and dissolve through neglect.

A lesson for 7th-8th grade science focusing on the biological and genetic foundations of autism. Students debunk common myths, analyze brain development through video, and research how the brain interacts with other body systems in co-occurring conditions.

A comprehensive lesson exploring the evolution of hunting from ancient survival to modern conservation, including economic impacts and ethical debates surrounding biodiversity.

Explore how plants and other organisms capture solar energy to build life-sustaining sugars while comparing the process to cellular respiration.

Focuses on reading security logs, understanding time formats (24h vs 12h), and using logic to follow a suspect's movement through keycard data.

Focuses on descriptive language, memory reliability, and the 'mugshot' process. Students learn to describe suspects and identify inconsistencies in witness stories.

A simplified murder mystery investigation. Students use a detective dossier with B1-level text to solve the crime of Professor Thorne. Includes sentence frames for final accusations.

Students explore how fingerprints and DNA help identify people. The lesson uses clear, visual steps to explain identification techniques and Locard's Exchange Principle.

Students learn essential crime-solving vocabulary (alibi, evidence, suspect) and practice categorizing physical vs. testimonial clues using simplified English and visual supports.

An exploration of specialized forensic techniques, focusing on fingerprint classification, DNA profiling basics, and the microscopic analysis of hair and fibers to connect suspects to a scene.

Students master the foundational vocabulary of forensic science, including terms like alibi, chain of custody, and trace evidence, while learning to categorize different types of physical and testimonial evidence.
