A fast-paced, student-centered lesson where students explore the skeletal system through a collaborative jigsaw and a hands-on station rotation lab featuring a structural inquiry investigation.

An introductory lesson on the fundamental process of photosynthesis, focusing on the role of plant structures and the conversion of light energy into chemical energy.

A hands-on forensic science activity where students rotate through stations to learn about and analyze hair, fiber, and paint evidence to solve a trace evidence mystery.

A comprehensive lesson on cloud formation and classification, exploring the physics of the water cycle and atmospheric conditions. Students will learn about evaporation, condensation nuclei, and how to identify different cloud types through a hands-on experiment.

In this lesson, students take on the role of forensic investigators to solve 'The Missing Card' mystery. They will analyze suspect profiles, evaluate evidence vs. inference, map out a crime timeline, and use deductive reasoning to identify the thief through a formal CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) framework.

A hands-on Grade 7 science lesson exploring energy changes in chemical reactions and the variables that dictate the speed of those reactions. Students conduct experiments to distinguish between exothermic and endothermic processes and then test factors like temperature, surface area, and concentration.

A 60-minute exploration of Indiana's unique biodiversity, focusing on the impacts of deforestation, climate change, and invasive species through a guided webquest.

An engaging, image-based digital scavenger hunt where students solve a forensic mystery using glass evidence concepts like fracture patterns, density, and refractive index.

A lesson exploring the delicate balance of coastal ecosystems, focusing on how biodiversity sustains life and how climate change threatens these vital habitats based on the Our Planet documentary.

A lesson covering the properties of soil and glass as forensic evidence, culminating in an outdoor scavenger hunt where students collect and identify samples.

A hands-on forensic science lesson where students rotate through stations to analyze various types of trace evidence (hair, fiber, glass, soil, etc.) to solve a warehouse heist.

A foundational exploration of Earth's four spheres and the mechanics of its orbit around the Sun, focusing on how these systems interact to support life.

An investigation into how ocean currents distribute heat and regulate the climate of our planet.

An introductory lesson focused on the narrative 'hook' that blends character development with the scientific reality of tectonic movement.

A mini-lesson exploring the fundamental differences between physical and chemical changes through interactive slides and a categorizing activity.

A comprehensive guide and template to help students research and write the background section for their independent science projects, covering terminology, history, and modern theories.

An interactive exploration of the Moon's 28-day cycle, terminology, and the eight distinct lunar phases through visual diagrams and observation exercises.

A hands-on exploration of the physics of color, focusing on additive light mixing and subtractive pigment mixing through experimentation.

A comprehensive review and assessment of the week's learning through differentiated practice and synthesis.
