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 dynamic lesson introducing the five core forms of energy: kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, and electrical. This lesson utilizes highly engaging visual slides and structured templates to help students compare, contrast, and identify energy transformations.

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.

An adapted science lesson and assessment packet designed specifically for 4th-grade WIDA Level 1 (Entering) English Language Learners focusing on energy conversions. Includes visual vocab support, simplified questions, and structured sentence frame writing aids.

An adapted 4th-grade science assessment unit on energy conversions designed specifically for WIDA Level 1 (Entering) English Language Learners. It includes a highly visual student test and a companion teacher guide with oral scripts and scaffolded support.

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.

A highly visual, scaffolded assessment and corresponding answer key covering atmospheric layers, resource classification, carbon footprints, biological levels, trophic webs, ice proxies, and photosynthesis.

Students evaluate ecosystem research reports and online science media for credibility, bias, and scientific evidence using a scientific evaluation framework.

Students model trophic levels, analyze the 10% ecological efficiency rule, and solve ecological energy calculations.

Students investigate the difference between biotic and abiotic factors, explore how they interact within local ecosystems, and design an anchor chart to map these connections.
