A short series of lessons exploring prehistoric life and the Mega-fauna that once roamed the Earth. Students learn about adaptations, extinction, and the tools paleontologists use to study the past.
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 series of lessons exploring genetics and protein synthesis through the lens of spider silk production for medical use. Adapted for 3rd-grade reading levels while maintaining 6th-grade science concepts.
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 de 6ème pour découvrir la cellule à travers des observations microscopiques, passant des végétaux aux animaux puis aux unicellulaires.
A 4th-grade science unit adapted from 6th-grade material, focusing on how gene versions and proteins determine traits in spiders and humans. Students act as 'Gene Detectives' to solve the mystery of silk flexibility and running ability.
A unit exploring the microscopic machines that keep living things running, from building cells to breaking down food.
A comprehensive one-week unit covering the foundations of cell theory, the technical mastery of microscopes, and the fascinating structures of unicellular organisms (Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, and Volvox).
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 comprehensive project-based unit where students explore the vital role of pollinators, research local species, and design solutions to protect their habitats.
