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.
