A comprehensive 7th-grade unit exploring structural, behavioral, and physiological adaptations. Students transition from analyzing existing organisms to designing a theoretical survivor for a harsh biome.
A comprehensive unit exploring the intricate webs of life, focusing on the relationships and environmental factors that shape ecosystems.
A series of materials focused on building and programming assistive technology interfaces, specifically switch-based controls for accessibility.
A bilingual (English/Spanish) unit exploring the structure and organization of the periodic table, focusing on atomic properties and element classification.
A series of quick, engaging bell-ringer activities focused on building technical vocabulary and understanding computer-related terminology through matching exercises.
A professional development series for PreK-12 educators that reframes Computer Science as a "Superpower" through Computational Thinking. Teachers explore how CS concepts like decomposition, abstraction, and automation are already present in their daily instructional practices and Iowa Core content.
Students learn to use digital tools to organize, compare, and analyze market data using advanced spreadsheet techniques like formulas, sorting, and filtering.
A unit focused on the visual principles of brand identity, moving from theory (color, type) to creation using vector-based tools like Google Drawing.
A comprehensive identity design unit where students explore the psychological and visual elements of branding, including color theory, typography, and logo composition.
A 3-lesson unit on the water cycle, weather patterns, and global circulation designed for 7th-grade SPED students. This sequence covers the energy drivers of water movement, the interaction of air masses, and the patterns of oceanic and atmospheric circulation with heavy scaffolding and visual supports.
A study of the iconic predator-prey relationship between wolves and moose on Isle Royale, exploring population dynamics, carrying capacity, and limiting factors.
A sports-science unit exploring the chemistry of performance and the architecture of the human body. Students investigate energy changes in reactions through the lens of metabolism and injury recovery, and discover how the skeletal system provides the structural foundation for athletic movement.
An ecology-focused sequence exploring population dynamics, ecosystem stability, and the intricate dance between predators and their prey through the famous Isle Royale case study.
A comprehensive science unit focused on global biomes, adaptations, and ecological relationships, culminating in a creative travel brochure project.
A 3-day introductory unit for Digital Design students, focusing on Project-Based Learning, collaborative teamwork, and the very first steps into Adobe Photoshop. Students will connect classroom learning to workforce readiness through a giant collaborative mural and guided discovery of design tools.
A hands-on forensic science sequence focusing on the collection and analysis of trace evidence, specifically soil and glass fragments, through an outdoor scavenger hunt.
A sequence exploring the mechanics of ocean currents and their role in regulating global climate, based on the SciShow documentary.
