A collection of lessons focused on nature and science, designed with differentiated reading materials for diverse learners including early readers and special education students.
A science unit exploring how energy flows through ecosystems, starting with the primary producers that harness solar energy.
A high-energy introduction to coding concepts using the vibrant world of dance games to teach algorithms, sequencing, variables, and loops.
A beginner-friendly introduction to coding concepts using the excitement of basketball tournaments to teach algorithms, sequencing, and selection.
A three-day sub plan sequence for middle school students exploring wind and solar energy. Students learn about energy transformations, advantages and disadvantages, and analyze energy output data to prepare for upcoming engineering design challenges.
A comprehensive 2-day unit on heat transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation) featuring teacher-led demonstrations, visual slides, doodle notes, and exit tickets. Students explore how thermal energy moves through different states of matter and vacuum.
A comprehensive unit on thermal energy transfer where students use models and hands-on experiments to compare conduction, convection, and radiation. The sequence covers theoretical understanding and practical observation of how heat moves through matter.
A comprehensive exploration of how scientists organize the diversity of life on Earth, from the broadest domains to individual species.
An investigative sequence diving into the mechanics of our solar system, focusing on planetary properties and the dynamic relationships within the Earth-Moon-Sun system.
A comprehensive unit exploring the human cardiovascular system, starting with the intricate anatomy of the heart and extending to blood vessels and circulation loops.
A four-day introductory science sequence for grades K-3 exploring the properties of light, illumination, and shadows through hands-on play with glowsticks and flashlights. Students will transition from understanding light sources to creating complex shadow narratives and participating in light-based games.
A series of phonics lessons focusing on vowel teams, digraphs, and other phonetic patterns through narrative passages and fluency drills.
A rigorous 4-week MCAS prep sequence focusing on standard 8.MS-ESS2-6, exploring how solar energy, the atmosphere, and the oceans interact to create global circulation patterns and regional climates. Students will master the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) framework to tackle complex open-response questions.
A comprehensive marine biology curriculum exploring the structural and functional design of ocean life, from microscopic plankton to massive cetaceans. Students act as 'Ocean Architects' to understand how environmental pressures shape biological forms.
A high-interest lesson exploring the neurological effects of short-form 'brain rot' content, designed for Grade 8 ELL students in Brazil. The sequence covers vocabulary acquisition, scientific concepts like dopamine and attention spans, and culminates in a structured whole-class debate.
A 4-lesson ESL sequence for Grade 2 students focusing on the life and growth of baby dolphins (calves). Students will explore dolphin habitats, diets, and behaviors through visual stories, matching activities, and simple writing exercises tailored for WIDA Level 2 learners.
A comprehensive sequence covering introductory 6th-grade life science topics, from ecosystem dynamics to inheritance and evolutionary changes.
A series of lessons focused on the physical properties of matter, specifically mixtures and solutions, designed for 4th-grade science standards.
A scaffolded middle school unit exploring competition, energy flow, and ecosystem stability. Each lesson is tailored to specific NGSS performance expectations for grades 6, 7, and 8, building from individual organism growth to complex system dynamics.
