Brain Roots

This video sheet follows "One Strange Rock" docuseries for the episode "Gasp." It is available on Disney Plus, so you will need a subscription to show the video. There are 2 pages, each can be a standalone option or they can be used together for the same episode. The questions are designed to get students thinking about and recognizing concepts and learning and apply it to what they are watching in the video. It's also a really great option for extra credit if needed!

This graphic organizer includes links to thought provoking TedEd videos that give students new ways to think about cells, including questions for each video to focus their thinking. It's a perfect enrichment assignment, extra credit, or introductory way to transition into real-world based projects or debates about cells.

This is a quick and easy way to give students a chance to document their thinking and learning about a text set. This can be used with a text, video, movie, or infographic (or combination of them) so students have a choice of information resources. We often focus on science literacy in our classes, so this is really helpful to move away from right/wrong answers and get them practicing picking information that seems important, interesting, or gets them thinking about more questions!
