A comprehensive unit on the fundamentals of forensic science and criminal investigation, culminating in a hands-on murder mystery simulation. Students learn about evidence collection, witness psychology, and deductive reasoning.
A comprehensive project-based learning unit where high school students apply design thinking to solve real-world problems, from initial discovery to final prototyping and pitching.
A unit exploring the microscopic machines that keep living things running, from building cells to breaking down food.
A high-engagement sequence on plant systems (Reproduction, Transport, and Response) designed for talkative students. It uses collaborative, discussion-based activities to channel social energy into scientific inquiry.
A comprehensive 2-week unit for high school biology students exploring the interconnectedness of life, from microscopic organisms to the global biosphere. Students will investigate biomes, energy flow, and population dynamics through hands-on activities and creative projects.
A unit exploring the biological origins of humanity, focusing on evolutionary biology, phylogeny, and the development of complex traits like bipedalism and collective learning.
A high school entrepreneurship lesson evaluating the trade-offs between business specialization and diversification. Students analyze the 'Joe's Lawn Care' scenario, explore economies of scale, and engage in a structured debate.
A specialized high school chemistry/biology integrated lesson exploring the biochemical differences between Archaea and Bacteria. Students analyze how ether bonds and lipid monolayers provide structural stability for survival in extreme thermal environments through modeling and chemical analysis.
A high-school level exploration of thermodynamics, focusing on the connection between entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs Free Energy to predict chemical spontaneity.
A lesson focused on Galileo's gravitational experiments and the mathematical resolution of the 'gravity paradox,' where mass cancels out in the calculation of acceleration. Students conduct a hands-on lab using bottles of different masses to test empirical results against theoretical models.
A series focused on local environmental action and urban air quality solutions, guiding students from observation to advocacy.
A comprehensive biology sequence exploring the intricate ways species interact, from basic symbiosis to complex ecosystem dynamics and population growth.
