This pack includes 22 resources for teaching the science and engineering practice of modeling, including graphic organizers, sentence stems, and interactive science notebook files. Word documents are included to allow editing to customize for specific lessons and units. PDF files are included to preserve the font and formatting of each document. These resources can be used to have students: 1) evaluate models provided by the teacher (print/media/physical/visual/etc.), 2) create a model, 3) co

This is a foldable with the NGSS crosscutting concepts worded in student-friendly language. I use this for each unit, and students write down the names of labs/activites/notes that address each cross-cutting concept. A pdf and an editable PPT file are included.

A tri-fold foldable that helps students learn the basic signs of a chemical reaction, and the six types.

This lab partially aligns with the NGSS performance expectation: HS-LS1-4 Use a model to illustrate the role of cellular division (mitosis) and differentiation in producing and maintaining complex organisms. Science and Engineering Practice: The lab involves the use of a model (frequency of stage/relative length of stage) to predict the frequency/relative length of each stage in a different cell type. Cross-Cutting Concept: The system is the mitosis and interphase part of the cell cycle
