Next Gen Sci Guy

In this activity NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) aligned activity, students create a Recovery Plan for an endangered species of their choice. The plant requires students to 1) understand the natural history and geographical range of the organism 2) design a plan that accounts for the timeline, resources needed, and plan of action 3) come up with a way to measure if the plan is succeeding 4) discuss the importance of the species to its ecosystem A. NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS HER

This activity proceeds as follows: 1. Students brainstorm about why it is important to estimate the population of organisms 2. Students learn how to estimate population using the “sampling” technique 3. Students learn how to estimate population using the “mark and recapture” technique 4. Students design a study to estimate a real population, and carry out their study. 5. Extension Activity: Students read an article about the overfishing of Bluefin tuna, which is down to 4% of the population that

This product contains the following: 1. A 126 self-grading assessment (that is self-grading using Google Forms) 2.

This product comes with a 24 slide PowerPoint that covers the “who, what, where, and how” of photosynthesis. It comes with a guided note sheet that simplifies the notes for students in an interactive and engaging manner. It also comes with a YouTube video link that shows students an animation of the steps using the same images from the PowerPoint. It covers pigments, absorption spectra, chloroplasts, thylakoids, ATP synthase, electron transport chain, light/dark reactions, chemiosmosis, ATP, NAD

In this activity NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) aligned activity, students (Part 1:) use a website to learn about the three types of adaptations, and fill out a chart. In Part 2, Students select a species (from a list of 30) and create a short presentation on the organism’s unique adaptations. Then they present to their classmates. They use a graphic organizer to take notes on their peer’s presentations, and wrap-up part 2 by relating adaptations to an organism’s survival. Fourth, stud

This activity proceeds as follows: 1. First, learn about the theory of Tragedy of the Commons, using a short video link 2. Then students describe a real-world example using a website (provided) as a resource 3. Then students walk around the school (in pairs), or as an entire class (teacher lead), and must identify examples of Tragedy of the Commons around the school 4. Students generate possible solutions to the problem areas that they located 5. In conclusion, students choose two real-wor

In this activity NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) aligned activity, student create a map that represents a small, detailed area of an ecosystem. It can be done at home, but my students very much enjoy going outside near the school. The plant requires students to 1) Choose a site, and outline a square meter using meter sticks, 2) make detailed observations of the abiotic and biotic factors within the site, 3) Produce a map, with a legend and icons to represent the features within the mini

Brief: In this Next Generation Science Standards Aligned lab, students write rules for a game that simulates how a food chain works. They play two games: In Game 1, they play their first iteration of rules, taking 12 rounds of population data, and graphing the data. In Game 2, students play revised rules; tweaking their original set of rules to make the game a better model for a real ecosystem. They, again, graph their data, and analyze the results by answering conclusion questions. This ac
