Explore the complex web of interactions within ecosystems, emphasizing energy flow, interdependence, and the ripple effects of environmental changes through hands-on simulations and case studies.
A five-day modified animal classification unit focusing on the five main vertebrate groups, designed with extensive visual support, sentence frames, and tracing options for modified learning.
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.
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 short listening comprehension sequence for third graders focusing on non-fiction nature narratives. Students develop listening skills, factual recall, and critical thinking by exploring the interconnectedness of ecosystems.
An immersive fifth-grade unit on natural disasters. Students explore the science, history, and safety preparation for earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and floods through interactive slides, reading investigations, and emergency planning projects.
A multi-subject summer school unit exploring the history, science, math, and language arts of ice cream. Students scale recipes, conduct freezing-point experiments, trace historical origins, and design sensory marketing campaigns.
A collection of integrated science and ELA reading passages covering conservation of mass, the water cycle, and force and motion. Each passage targets specific ELA standards including key ideas, craft and structure, and language.
A hands-on biology unit exploring asexual plant reproduction, cellular regeneration, and the science of propagation. Students learn to 'hack' plant growth to create new life from cuttings, combining laboratory precision with botanical care.
A 5-day science and reading comprehension packet focusing on various life cycles (plants, amphibians, insects, and mammals) designed with 3rd-grade EOG rigor.
A comprehensive unit combining middle school ecosystem science with functional life skills in horticulture and cooking. Students explore the interconnectedness of nature while building practical skills in gardening and food preparation.
A two-day science unit for 4th-grade English Learners focusing on the processes of weathering and erosion. Students act as 'Earth Sculptors' to investigate how natural forces break down and move Earth's materials using WIDA-aligned language supports.
A 3-part mini-lesson series designed to teach middle schoolers how to use AI tools responsibly for final projects. The series focuses on AI as a thinking partner, prompt engineering, and critical fact-checking through a modern 'Notebook/Sketch' aesthetic.
A series of secret agent-themed ecology missions where students act as Eco-Detectives for the Nature Intelligence Agency (NIA) to study habitats, food chains, and environmental impacts.
