Each station includes information in English and Spanish about the topic, colorful pictures, and one even includes a QR code t

Adaptable to in-class, hybrid, or distance learning! In this highly differentiated, PBL project designed for the end of an ecology unit, students create a presentation that persuades a leader to protect, preserve, or restore the ecosystem of their  choice. Students select an ecosystem and focus on an issue that is disturbing the ecosystem that they research. They choose a leader who may be able to protect, preserve, or restore that ecosystem, and they select from listed formats for their present

This virtual lab worksheet utilizes two online simulations from Earth Space Lab - one about the Earth's orbit around the sun, another about the seasons - and walks students through an inquiry-style discovery about the cause of the seasons. Students practice skills of data collection, data analysis, and scientific argumentation throughout the lab and especially using the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning chart at the conclusion of the lab. Students often encounter and naturally right their own misconcep

In this worksheet, students discover & describe the human impact on the carbon cycle using primary sources - quotes from National Geographic - and graphic organizers. One topic includes how the burning of fossil fuels moves carbon from the reservoir of sediments and rocks to the atmosphere, and how that impacts the energy flow into and out of the Earth's atmosphere. Next, students read about deforestation and fill out a graphic organizer about the movement of carbon from the atmosphere to land

NGSS-Aligned lesson materials for a relevant application of acid and base chemistry! This will be Theme 2 of the series "Science of the Skin". Overview:  This is the second in a series about the Science of the Skin. Objectives: We can investigate the pH of common substances and skincare products using a lab. We can identify the principle of conservation of matter, acids, bases, and other chemical reactions using digital flashcards. We can predict the products of acid and base chemical reactions

NGSS-Aligned lesson materials for an Introduction to the Skin! This will be Theme 1 of the series "Science of the Skin". Included:Activity to establish classroom norms - students choose from a list and share.Pre-quiz on Google FormsVocabulary with visuals and definitions, including organizing them by tier two and tier three wordsTier Two words: function, microscope, cell, specializedTier Three words: nucleus, homeostasis, epidermis, dermis, keratin, melaninLecture slides with accompanying cloze

True to its 5E lesson format, this extensive lesson plan uses constructivist theory to build student knowledge, challenge student problem-solving and thinking skills, and develop mathematical and computational thinking. Students are gripped from the beginning in the task of solving the mystery of the two demonstrations. Next, students use an online simulation to visualize the movement of gas particles under changing volumes and pressures, calculate a constant, and graph the relationship between

This inquiry lab helps students to answer the question, "What is the relationship between pressure and volume?" using a PhET virtual simulation. You will receive one copy fully in English and another that is bilingual English and Spanish. Students will see screenshots of the simulation alongside the directions, so that little input is needed from their teacher as they explore the functions of the lab! Students set up a container filled with gas particles and set the temperature to constant. The

NGSS- Aligned lesson materials for a relevant application of experimental design, scientific argumentation, and the microbiome! This will be Theme 3 of the series "Science of the Skin". Objectives:We can identify the variable, control group, experimental group, independent variable, dependent variable in an experimental setup using labeling a picture.We can design an experiment on the microbiome using a pre-lab worksheet.We can conduct an experimental design safely using the microbiome lab. We c

No - prep worksheet to engage students in thinking about the processes that move carbon dioxide throughout the environment, from aquatic plants and animals, to the atmosphere, to sediments and rocks, and back again! Available in digital format to post on Google Classroom or easily printed to hand out as a worksheet. Rigorous, academic vocabulary brings students up to challenge with visual supports and an easily understood picture organizer, which enhances understanding for all students, especia

Adaptable to in-class, hybrid, or distance learning! In this project combining creative writing and ecology, students choose a nutrient cycle (water, phosphorous, nitrogen, or carbon) and write a story from the perspective of a molecule of water, phosphorus, nitrogen, or carbon as it moves through the cycle.  Students are instructed to demonstrate the following concepts within their story: Nutrients are made of elements.Nutrients are found in different reservoirs on our planet. Nutrients can sta

These posters clearly and concisely display the Next Generation Science Standards Practices in Science and Engineering with original illustrations. PDFs are high quality and can be printed on posters up to 16" x 20". Posters can be displayed in the room immediately, or hung up progressively as you introduce the practices to your class. I created these posters because I see a need for sophisticated, high-school level visuals in the classroom. For more colors or a science-standards only version o

This NGSS-aligned student project challenges students to apply knowledge of basic electricity to the question of how solar panels work. The electricity concepts include resistance, current, electrical work, and voltage, but the project also talks about energy transformations, such as radiant energy, thermal energy, and electrical energy throughout the solar system, and energy efficiency. A student-friendly checklist, with opportunities to exceed expectations, allows for self-evaluation of the pr

Adaptable to in-class, hybrid, or distance learning! In this assignment, students create a trophic table and a food web of an ecosystem of their choice. Students must apply the following vocabulary words to a specific context: producers, herbivores, carnivores, and scavengers/decomposers. Students use a digital program of their choice to create food webs. Students love this project because they can choose an ecosystem that is meaningful to them - perhaps it is the ecosystem where they live or a

In this highly differentiated project, your students will propose a water conservation effort relevant to your school using research and writing. This problem-based learning project is perfect for students to make connections to their own life and to practice advocating for a change in their school communities. It is recommended to tackle this project AFTER students can interpret a water cycle diagram and use scientific vocabulary to name parts of the water cycle. Project includes a list of topi

Adaptable to in-class, hybrid, or distance learning! In this assignment, students choose an ecosystem that is dear to them. Students describe the ecosystem using newly-learned vocabulary from an ecology unit. Students love this project because they can choose an ecosystem that is meaningful to them - perhaps it is the ecosystem where they live or a place they have always wanted to travel.  Students are instructed to demonstrate understanding of the following vocabulary words within their ecosyst
