A structured 15-day review program focusing on high-frequency TEKS including Matter, Force, Earth/Space, and Life Science.
A high-stakes collaborative escape room where student teams navigate five distinct rooms of a mysterious manor, solving interconnected puzzles to solve a murder.
Students carry out a formal investigation comparing large and small samples of pure substances to prove which properties stay the same and which change, fulfilling standard PS.6.1.3.
A focus on intensive properties that remain constant regardless of sample size, including density, melting point, boiling point, and solubility. Students use doodle notes to visualize these 'identity' traits.
An introduction to matter and properties that change based on the amount of a substance, specifically mass, weight, and volume. Students explore how these measurements vary with sample size.
A comprehensive introduction to the pH scale, covering the characteristics of acids and bases, the logarithmic nature of the scale, and real-world applications across three differentiated levels (5th, 7th, and 9th grade).

A foundational lesson on Photoshop clipping masks, covering the 'layer sandwich' concept and the technical steps to clip images into shapes.
A comprehensive introduction to the pH scale, its presence in everyday substances, and its critical role in environmental health. Students will engage in a hands-on lab to test household liquids and discuss real-world impacts like ocean acidification. Updated with purple indicator lab.
An extension lesson for a water filtration lab focusing on the chemical properties of water and the real-world impact of pollution on local ecosystems.
A project-based lesson where students create a poster advocating for sunscreen use in Australia, focusing on the biological and environmental factors that increase skin cancer risk in the region.
Essential documents and procedures for substitute teachers to ensure a seamless transition and productive classroom environment.
Students present their evolution maps and prototypes in a class showcase and reflect on the project.
