A comprehensive biology unit covering the complex interactions of animal and plant systems, the structural nature of viruses, and the application of these concepts to real-world disease outbreaks.
A 3-day exploration of the ecological impacts and ethical complexities of reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone National Park. Students analyze trophic cascades, evaluate stakeholder perspectives, and engage in a structured debate about conservation.
A comprehensive lesson sequence on atomic decay, focusing on hands-on simulation of half-life using common objects and practicing the prediction of decay products through nuclear equations.
Exploring the internal heat and dynamic processes that shape our planet's surface and interior.
A comprehensive two-day review sequence covering thermal energy, heat transfer, temperature vs. thermal energy, and particle motion, culminating in a CER practice and exit ticket.
A comprehensive unit on rotational mechanics, mapping the transition from linear motion to angular dynamics through technical analysis and real-world applications.
A unit focused on the quantitative relationships in chemical reactions, covering everything from basic molar mass to complex limiting reactant and percent yield calculations.
A comprehensive 9-week book study of Temple Grandin's 'Animals in Translation' for high school students, focusing on sensory perception, animal behavior, and inclusive design through jigsaw discussions and creative projects.
A comprehensive exploration of viral structure, pathogenesis, and the human immune response, covering TEKS 5D and 12A. This sequence bridges the gap between microscopic invaders and our biological defenses.
A comprehensive unit exploring the biochemical processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, highlighting their interdependence in the flow of energy through ecosystems.
A specialized unit designed for advanced high school students interested in veterinary science, focusing on the intersection of biological systems, diagnostic procedures, and medical literacy within equine medicine.
A comprehensive 5-day unit covering electric current, resistance, and circuit types. Students move from exploring the physical properties of conductors to mathematically modeling series and parallel circuits, culminating in a summative district assessment.
A comprehensive 3-week unit exploring the unique physical properties of water, its role in life and geological processes, and the dynamics of watershed systems. Students investigate polarity, cohesion, and universal solubility through hands-on labs while connecting these traits to climate moderation and the health of the Chesapeake Bay.
