An immersive preparation program that equips agriculture students with the hands-on identification and evaluation skills needed to conquer competitive Livestock Skillathon contests.
Explore the fascinating biology of seeds and germination guided by Lenny the Bean! Students will dissect a bean, identify its parts, and understand how a tiny seed contains everything needed to start a new life.
A comprehensive facilitation and answer guide for teachers using the Bean Power lesson. It features alignment with standards, a lesson timeline, lab safety/setup instructions, and a completed answer key for the student worksheet.
A comprehensive unit on rainforest ecology, climate regulation, and conservation. Students explore the structural layers of the rainforest, their roles as carbon sinks, the threats of deforestation, and collaborative solutions for preservation.
An interactive lesson introducing elementary or middle school students to the three major divisions of the brain: the Cerebrum, Cerebellum, and Brain Stem.
A printable student worksheet for the bean dissection activity. It features labeling exercises, space for hand-drawing observations, and comprehension questions, all guided by Lenny the Bean.
A middle school scientific inquiry sequence where students investigate abiotic and biotic components, trace trophic energy pyramids, and build critical media literacy by evaluating ecological research sources.
An engaging, highly visual science lesson exploring beetles as the armored tanks of the insect world, designed specifically for fifth-grade students reading below grade level. Students learn about elytra, beetle adaptation, and compare insect armor to that of the armadillo through scaffolded activities.
A visually stunning, interactive slide deck featuring Lenny the Bean. This presentation teaches seed anatomy, germination, and guides students through a hands-on bean dissection with a fun, engaging science narrative.
A comprehensive middle school space science unit exploring the physical properties of major planets along with the characteristics, orbits, and origins of other celestial objects like comets, asteroids, and dwarf planets.
A active learning station rotation lesson where sixth-grade students discover the dangers of confirmation bias and learn the power of testing hypotheses by trying to disprove them. Based on the Veritasium 'Can You Solve This?' video, students rotate through digital and hands-on offline inquiry challenges to build robust scientific thinking skills aligned with Indiana SEPS.
