A comprehensive unit for 5th grade exploring how plants grow from air and water (LS.5.1.1) and how matter cycles through ecosystems via food webs and decomposers (LS.5.1.2).
A comprehensive exploration of heredity, traits, and environmental influences across grade levels, from basic inheritance to complex adaptations and changes over time.
A comprehensive unit exploring how energy flows through ecosystems and how organisms interact within their environments. Students will model food webs, analyze resource availability, and predict population changes based on interactions.
A comprehensive 5th-grade science review sequence covering Ecosystems, Properties of Matter, and the Earth-Sun-Moon system through reading comprehension and varied activities.
A collection of independent science exploration modules covering the Solar System, Matter, and Ecosystems, designed for quiet student work during substitute lessons.
A comprehensive unit covering Earth's composition, processes, and properties. Students explore mineral identification, the rock cycle, Earth's internal structure, and plate tectonics through a 'Geology Expedition' theme.
A series of activities focused on applying chemical matter concepts to solve mysteries, culminating in a creative evidence board project.
A creative end-of-year science unit where students apply their knowledge of Earth's tilt and orbit to design custom seasonal cycles for fictional planets. This sequence encourages divergent thinking and deep understanding of how axial tilt impacts climate and light.
A series of lessons focused on understanding different natural disasters, their causes, impacts, and safety protocols through structured writing and investigation.
A 20-day phonics drill program for first graders using the Sound Sliders routine to master consonant blends (initial/final) and open syllables (IMSE 36-42).
A comprehensive physics unit covering the behavior of mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Students transition from hands-on slinky exploration to advanced optical modeling and mathematical derivations.
A science unit exploring ecology through the lens of 'The Lion King', focusing on food chains, food webs, and the balance of ecosystems. Students will learn to identify energy roles and predict the consequences of ecological changes.
A guided discovery sequence on linear momentum, impulse, and 2D collisions, focusing on inquiry-based learning and vector analysis.
A complete 36-week high school biology curriculum designed for 9th-grade students, aligned with Indiana Academic Standards for Biology. This course progresses from microscopic biochemical foundations to macroscopic ecological systems.
