The Lessons (100% NGSS MS-LS1 Aligned):
- Cellular Cartographers (MS-LS1-1): Students become scientific illustrators, creating a "Field Guide" to provide evidence for Cell Theory through detailed microscopic drawings.
- The Cell as a City (MS-LS1-2): A model-making project where students develop a visual system to explain organelle functions.
- The Body as a System (MS-LS1-3): An infographic blueprint project where students use evidence to argue how body subsystems interact.
- The Reproductive Rationale (MS-LS1-4): Using Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER), students explore and illustrate specific structures that enhance reproductive success.
- Art of Growth (MS-LS1-5): A visual investigation into how environmental and genetic influences determine the growth of organisms.
- Photosynthesis: The Comic! (MS-LS1-6): Students construct a scientific story through sequential art to explain matter cycling and energy flow.
- Journey of a Food Molecule (MS-LS1-7): A storyboard modeling project that traces the chemical reactions involved in growth and energy release.
- The Sensory Storyboard (MS-LS1-8): A visual model-making task where students synthesize how stimuli are processed by the brain to create a response.

Standards
to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSMS-LS1-5
Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms. Examples of local environmental conditions could include availability of food, light, space, and water. Examples of genetic factors could include large breed cattle and species of grass affecting growth of organisms. Examples of evidence could include drought decreasing plant growth, fertilizer increasing plant growth, different varieties of plant seeds growing at different rates in different conditions, and fish growing larger in large ponds than they do in small ponds. Assessment does not include genetic mechanisms, gene regulation, or biochemical processes.
NGSSMS-LS1-7
Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism. Emphasis is on describing that molecules are broken apart and put back together and that in this process, energy is released. Assessment does not include details of the chemical reactions for photosynthesis or respiration.
NGSSMS-LS1-2
Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways the parts of cells contribute to the function. Emphasis is on the cell functioning as a whole system and the primary role of identified parts of the cell, specifically the nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, cell membrane, and cell wall. Assessment of organelle structure/function relationships is limited to the cell wall and cell membrane. Assessment of the function of the other organelles is limited to their relationship to the whole cell. Assessment does not include the biochemical function of cells or cell parts.
