A comprehensive lesson for 5th graders exploring how plants create their own food through photosynthesis and their role as producers in energy pyramids. Students will analyze experimental data and practice identifying consumer levels in food webs.
Students analyze the causes and consequences of deforestation, mapping habitat fragmentation and designing collaborative, science-based conservation solutions.
Students investigate the rainforest as a massive climate-control engine, analyzing how evapotranspiration regulates weather and how trees act as vital global carbon sinks.
Students explore the structural layers of the rainforest (forest floor, understory, canopy, emergent layer) and model biodiversity and physical conditions across these strata.
A hands-on, highly visual lesson where students explore artificial selection by roleplaying as breeders and farmers. Students analyze traits in dogs, crops, and livestock using scaffolded organizers, visual task cards, and matching tasks.
A guided inquiry lesson exploring pushes, pulls, contact forces, and balanced vs. unbalanced forces through everyday concrete examples and DOK 2-3 analysis questions.
A high-energy, collaborative computer science escape challenge designed for the last day of school. Students work in pairs to solve funny, CS-themed logic and debugging puzzles to save the computer lab from a playful system glitch.
A scaffolded 2-page assessment and corresponding answer key covering prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including bacteria, plant, animal, and human cells. Features visual matching, labeling with word banks, sentence frames, and guided sentence starters, scaled to 50 points total.
An integrated science and social studies lesson exploring how regional ecosystems and native species supported historical Indigenous communities across North America. Students analyze the ecological relationships and cultural adaptations of three distinct regions.
An immersive, self-directed survival simulation where students work in teams to solve creative engineering and resource-management challenges. Designed to keep the entire classroom deeply engaged and collaborative while the teacher conducts one-on-one sessions.
A lesson exploring how physical and behavioral traits help organisms survive in their environments, featuring a video documentary review and diagnostic summary.
A 5th grade research and presentation project based on EL Education Module 4. Students select a natural disaster focus, conduct research using provided expert articles, organize their findings, and choose to present via a Slide Show, Skit, or Newsroom report.
A hands-on, highly engaging, low-cost end-of-year science unit designed for 6th-grade students of lower academic levels. It features simplified, visual step-by-step guides for independent, sensory-rich experiments exploring kitchen chemistry, forces, and density.
A science unit exploring five powerful natural disasters. Students read highly structured, scaffolded articles at both third-grade and fifth-grade reading levels, practice key vocabulary, and complete comprehension checks with sentence frames and starters.
An interactive, visually rich lesson preparing Florida students for severe storms and hurricanes. Covers emergency kit building, weather alerts, home action plans, and sensory coping strategies to reduce storm anxiety.
An interactive, visual-heavy lesson where students investigate ecosystem roles (producers, consumers, and decomposers) through an engaging 'Guess Who' style game. Includes visual-support clue cards, a detective tracking sheet, and a comprehensive teacher guide.
An interactive, scaffolded lesson introducing biotic and abiotic factors in ecosystems. Includes guided notes with sentence starters, a word bank, and a hands-on sorting activity designed for students requiring accommodation.
A lesson on oceanography covering shorelines, coastal features, and the deep seafloor, adapted with a friendly My Little Pony decorative theme and chunked, accessible text for Standard Modified Special Education students.
A comprehensive, MLP:FiM-themed lesson on ocean movement (waves, tides, currents, gyres, and land influences) featuring Twilight Sparkle and friends.
Join Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash as they explore the origin, composition, and structure of Earth's oceans. This lesson is highly visual, simplified, and carefully structured with guided practice, word banks, and sentence starters.
A homework-centered lesson where students investigate school environmental habits, conduct a mini-audit, and plan statistical data collection around waste and ecological impact.
An engineering and physics lesson where students design, build, and test magnetic mazes to explore magnetic forces and the Engineering Design Process. Students investigate magnetic permeability and iterate on their designs to solve navigational challenges.
