A hands-on science and engineering lesson where students investigate system failures in electrical grids and water networks, tracing inputs, outputs, and points of failure to analyze system interdependence and cause-and-effect relationships.
A comprehensive workplace simulation sequence following Aura Solar Australia, a major renewable energy provider based in Melbourne. Students act as Corporate Administration Officers, executing complex, realistic tasks across the Microsoft Office Suite that align with Australian business standards, GST calculations, time zones, and privacy regulations.
A rigorous, NGSS-aligned lesson focusing on feedback loops, glucose regulation, carbon dioxide exchange, and graph analysis of diabetes. Students tackle multi-format questions modeled after ILEARN state assessments, while teachers utilize detailed exemplars to guide instructional debriefs.
A single-page printable exit ticket resource containing two separate diagnostics (Ticket A for Electrical Grids, Ticket B for Water Grids) divided by a cut-line to save paper and allow flexible formative assessment.
A multi-grade collection of scientific reading comprehension and response booklets designed to build disciplinary literacy in Earth, Life, and Physical sciences across elementary and middle school levels.
This lesson guides students through the biophysics of head impacts. Through kinetic energy concepts and a hands-on modeling activity, students learn how helmets absorb impact forces and protect the brain from acceleration-deceleration injuries.
A highly structured 2-page print-ready graphic organizer worksheet packet. Helps students systematically trace inputs, outputs, and points of failure for electrical circuits, cascading blackouts, and municipal water line breaks.
A comprehensive high school physics curriculum sequence aligned with the Connecticut Next Generation Science Standards (CT-NGSS), focusing on core concepts, quantitative problem-solving, and visual models.
A comprehensive lesson on understanding the essential components of a business plan. Students learn how to analyze markets, structure operations, project financials, and design their own startup blueprint.
A year-long, self-paced entrepreneurship curriculum spanning September to May for alternative education students in work-study placements. Students transform real-world work experience into a modular business plan and slide presentation.
Students investigate the biophysics of ultraviolet radiation and skin protection. They will explore how melanin and sunscreen act as protective shields against DNA damage and cell damage, analyzing the UV index to make informed decisions for skin health.
A cross-curricular, 3-day project-based unit combining science, argumentative writing, and graphic design. Students investigate the ecological impacts of light pollution, write a data-driven persuasive proposal, and design a community awareness campaign poster.
A practical biology and life skills lesson exploring the mechanisms of blood clotting and tissue regeneration alongside hands-on wound care practice. Students learn the biology of platelets and fibrin, practice applying pressure and cleaning wounds, and learn to spot early signs of local bacterial infections.
