A hands-on biology lab where students use the scientific method to investigate the characteristics of life through the observation and experimentation of pill bugs (Armadillidium vulgare).
A comprehensive lesson on DNA replication, focusing on how the structure of DNA allows for precise copying of genetic information to support life functions and protein synthesis.
A focused assessment set covering NGSS standards HS-LS1-4 (Cell Division and Differentiation) and HS-LS3-1 (DNA and Chromosomes). These materials provide rigorous, structured evaluation of student understanding of biological blueprints and life cycles.
This lesson focuses on the chemical transformation of light energy into glucose through photosynthesis, emphasizing that plants are self-sustaining producers that generate oxygen as a byproduct. Students will analyze the relationship between inputs (CO2, H2O, light) and outputs (Glucose, O2) to understand the fundamental energy cycle of life.
A comprehensive review of Earth's atmospheric layers, the crucial role of the ozone layer, and the chemical impact of CFCs on our planetary shield.
A comprehensive biology review focusing on homeostasis, cell transport, body systems, and speciation to prepare students for their May exams.
An assessment-focused lesson on carbon cycling in ecosystems, focusing on matter cycling and energy flow in aerobic and anaerobic conditions as per HS-LS2-3.
A comprehensive unit on the flow of energy and matter within ecosystems, focusing on bioenergetics (photosynthesis and respiration) and population dynamics. Students explore how organisms interact with their environment and how energy is transferred through trophic levels.
An independent project where students explore cosmological concepts from the birth of the universe to its ultimate fate, choosing their own creative medium to demonstrate mastery.
A diverse collection of high-quality educational resources spanning history, science, and language arts. This bundle includes graphic organizers, rubrics, writing prompts, and scientific diagrams.
Explore the process of identifying problems and developing innovative solutions, culminating in an elevator pitch for a new business idea.
Discover the characteristics of an entrepreneur, the importance of a growth mindset, and the balance between risk and reward.
A comprehensive lesson on photosynthesis, focusing on the biological machinery of plants, the inputs and outputs of the process, and the specific structures involved like chloroplasts and roots.
A lesson exploring the science of common clothing fibers (cotton, polyester, spandex) and the chemistry of detergents used to clean them. Students learn about fabric properties and how to select the best cleaning agents for different materials.
This lesson concludes the unit on business presentation skills and company valuation, testing students on the FIT model, the Rule of Three, and core financial assessment concepts.
A comprehensive assessment covering the structure and function of macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids) and the catalytic role of enzymes. Aligned with Indiana State Standards for High School Biology.
