Students model Earth's rotation using their bodies and globes to understand the day and night cycle.
An exploration of life in America during World War II, focusing on how rationing, Victory Gardens, and community efforts supported the war from home.
Students explore the eight planets of our solar system, learning about their unique characteristics and the forces that keep them in orbit.
A 4-hour independent learning sequence where students investigate fossil formation, environmental changes over time, and the secrets of the fossil record.
Synthesizing knowledge to analyze a fossil "dig site" and completing a final assessment.
Exploring the differences between body fossils (bones, teeth) and trace fossils (footprints, burrows).
Using fossil evidence to determine whether an area was once a marine, desert, or forest environment.
Introduction to how fossils form through the process of sedimentary rock layering and preservation.
A biology and health lesson focused on bone growth, mineral density, and the lifelong habits required to build a strong skeletal foundation through nutrition and exercise.
An introductory lesson on renewable and non-renewable energy resources, focusing on the science behind solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. Students will explore how these energy sources work and their impact on the environment.
A whole-group lesson where students identify cause and effect relationships by analyzing how animal adaptations help fairy tale creatures survive their stories.
A comprehensive introduction to how telescopes work, their history, and the famous ones that help us see deep into space. Students will explore different types of telescopes through a massive research quest.
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 year-end science review for 5th grade designed as a high-energy Jeopardy-style game. This lesson covers matter, Earth systems, space, ecosystems, and scientific inquiry to prepare students for end-of-year assessments.
This four-day lesson guides students through the physics of sound, focusing on pitch and wavelength. It features a teacher-led demonstration of vibrating strings/rulers and a high-interest scientific journal article designed for Lexile 600-800 readers.
A simplified, symbol-supported lesson on surface water movement, covering watersheds, stream systems, and flood safety, themed around the world of Equestria.
A comprehensive science lesson exploring the complex interactions within ecosystems and the flow of energy through food webs. Includes instruction, reading comprehension, and assessment materials.
An introductory lesson on the hydrosphere and water systems featuring My Little Pony characters to explain complex concepts like groundwater, watersheds, and conservation through symbol-supported text.
A comprehensive collection of 10 differentiated reading passages focused on animal adaptations and ecosystems, specifically designed to help students practice reading cursive while reinforcing key science concepts.
A hands-on, asynchronous observation lesson where students track the movement and size of shadows over the course of a single day to understand Earth's rotation and data collection.
