This workshop-style sequence for 2nd grade focuses on categorization and identification of fossils, teaching students to distinguish between body fossils and trace fossils through hands-on crafting and observation.
A high school biology sequence focused on the neuroscience of addiction, specifically analyzing how chemical structure and speed of delivery influence the brain's reward system. Students explore the biological mechanisms of tolerance, dependence, and the blood-brain barrier through graphing and comparative analysis.
A specialized AP Biology unit exploring the intersection of neuroscience and psychology, focusing on the biological mechanisms of mental health disorders and the pharmacology of their treatments.
A comprehensive 5-week sequence exploring the physical properties of water, the engineering of water filtration, and the complex systems of Virginia's watersheds. Students move from hands-on engineering to chemical properties and finally to large-scale environmental systems.
Une séquence approfondie sur les phases claires de la photosynthèse, destinée aux étudiants de première année de licence. Elle couvre la capture de l'énergie lumineuse, les pigments photosynthétiques et la chaîne de transfert d'électrons.
Une séquence exhaustive sur le métabolisme pour les classes préparatoires BCPST, couvrant l'hétérotrophie, l'autotrophie au carbone et à l'azote, ainsi que la chimiolithotrophie. La séquence met l'accent sur les bilans énergétiques, les flux de protons et l'intégration des voies métaboliques.
A comprehensive unit exploring inherited traits, talents, and character analysis through the lens of Kamal's story. Students will distinguish between genetic traits and learned talents, analyze character motivations, and document their own unique 'code'.
A collection of science and phonics resources designed for hands-on classroom activities.
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 lesson sequence focused on the scientific method, using a mystery box activity to practice observation, hypothesis formation, and experimentation. Students explore the historical roots of the method and apply it to solve physical puzzles.
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 primary science unit exploring animal body coverings, focusing on the differences between shedding and growing scales in reptiles and fish.
A foundational science unit for early elementary students exploring the concepts of energy, force, and gravity through hands-on investigation and real-world observation.
A comprehensive lesson sequence on human body systems, starting with the fundamentals of cellular organization and homeostasis.
A lesson sequence for K-2 students focusing on scientific inquiry, making predictions, and using tools to measure and compare mass. Students learn to distinguish between mass (how heavy) and volume (how big) through hands-on experiments.
A Kindergarten and 1st Grade science unit exploring our neighbor planet, Mars. Students compare Earth and Mars using visual aids, a hands-on sorting activity, and creative drawing to understand planetary similarities and differences.
A short sequence for lower elementary students exploring how humans adapt farming techniques to grow food in challenging environments like crowded cities and outer space without using soil.
A primary science unit exploring the life cycles of plants, from dormant seeds to flowering adults. Students engage in inquiry-based experiments to understand what plants need to survive and thrive.
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 fun, science-based lesson for K-3 students and their parents to explore pet hygiene, the mystery of 'wet dog smell,' and responsible animal care through a SciShow Kids video and a creative brochure activity.
