Geology Lab Leaders

An ecology and life science curriculum sequence exploring the microscopic and macroscopic systems of our planet, from cellular organelles and biological organization to Earth's interconnected spheres.

An interactive lesson where students explore how Earth's four major spheres (atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere) interact, alongside the biological organization of living things from cells to the entire biosphere.

A 2-page print-ready interactive guided notes packet exploring Earth's four spheres (geosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere) on the first page, and the hierarchical organization of life (from cells to the biosphere) on the second page. Includes structured work areas and diagrams for student input.

An interactive, highly visual ecosystem unit designed for 7th/8th grade MCAS standards but adapted to a 4th-grade reading and comprehension level. The unit explores abiotic/biotic factors, energy flow, interactions, and disruptions through hands-on activities, adapted readings, visual slides, and scaffolded assessments.

A collection of visually engaging and highly structured career posters highlighting high-interest STEM occupations for upper elementary students. Each spotlight details key skills, education, salary stats, and real-world industries.

A visually stunning, high-interest STEM career poster showcasing the role of a Video Game Designer (Realm Architect). Styled like a digital gaming interface, it details the daily mission, required player stats (skills), quest rewards (salary & education), diverse industries, and exciting easter eggs (fun facts) for upper elementary students.

A highly visual 4-day science unit exploring ocean habitats and depth zones. Tailored for differentiated instruction for 3rd grade and nonverbal 7th grade students using Boardmaker-style symbols, color-coded matching, and visual check comprehension.

A project-based lesson where students showcase their knowledge of plant and animal cells by choosing from a variety of campaign-style, artistic, and narrative projects. Includes a student choice board with planning pages and a comprehensive master rubric for assessment.

A print-ready 1-page Master Rubric specifically designed to grade any of the nine choices from the Cell Showdown Choice Board. Includes detailed expectations for scientific accuracy, system interactions, creative execution, and prep work.

An intensive High School Biology sequence that dives deep into the biophysics and biochemistry of photosynthesis. Students explore the molecular machinery of the light-dependent reactions and the enzymatic steps of the Calvin cycle.

An exemplar 3D science lesson exploring physical properties, mineral testing, and rock classification. It integrates hands-on inquiry with structured vocabulary acquisition and formative checks.

A 2-page print-ready choice board featuring nine engaging projects across three pathways (Campaigns, Creative Art, and Narrative Writing) for plant and animal cell study. Includes a structured project planning worksheet on the second page.
