Science Skills Unit for Grades 6–10 that teaches lab safety, measurement, data analysis, and experimental design through a visual slideshow while students follow along in a single organized Work Bundle. Each lesson unfolds one slide at a time, building understanding step-by-step while making science easy to teach and engaging to learn.

This comprehensive unit includes 5 structured parts with 30 lessons where students investigate lab tools, measurement, density, data interpretation, and experimental design through guided notes, hands-on activities, data collection, and analysis.

Each part includes a chronologically aligned follow-along work bundle that mirrors the slideshow lessons step by step, keeping instruction organized and making the curriculum clear, engaging, and low-prep to teach.
