A collection of rigorous, movement-based review activities and readiness assessments for middle school science units.
A comprehensive investigation into the Earth's geological processes, focusing on the formation, transformation, and identification of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
A sequence focused on understanding the complex interactions within ecosystems, energy flow, and the balance of matter.
A series of high-stakes science laboratory mysteries designed for middle school students. Each mystery focuses on a specific branch of science (Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Ecology) and uses 8 forensic clues to solve a case.
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 unit on the fundamentals of forensic science and criminal investigation, culminating in a hands-on murder mystery simulation. Students learn about evidence collection, witness psychology, and deductive reasoning.
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 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).
