In Lessons 5–8 of the Amplify Science Metabolism unit, students take on the role of medical investigators as they work to diagnose Elisa by collecting evidence, analyzing data, and refining their models of how molecules move through the body. They examine updated medical information, compare Elisa’s results to healthy baselines, and use simulations, charts, molecule levels, and system-interaction models to determine which body system—digestive, respiratory, or circulatory—is failing to deliver

In this introductory lesson on populations and resources, students will explore the essential concepts of predator and prey relationships, food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids. Through engaging visuals and interactive activities, students will learn how energy flows through an ecosystem and how the balance of populations impacts the environment. The lesson includes opportunities for students to actively participate by typing directly into the slideshow or recording their answers in their

This hands-on, differentiated project allows students to create their own Food Chain, Food Web, or Energy Pyramid based on their individual learning levels. Perfect for small groups or independent work, this activity engages students with fun, interactive components and gives them a choice in how they demonstrate their understanding of ecosystems. Included in the project are: Clear Instructions: Simple, step-by-step guidelines that can be used for all levels of learners.Cut-Out Animal Pieces:

In this interactive lesson, students will explore the process of photosynthesis by creating a model within a chloroplast using a simulation and interactive molecules on the slides. Students will actively demonstrate how light energy, water, and carbon dioxide are transformed into glucose and oxygen by moving molecules to build their model directly in the slideshow. This hands-on activity reinforces their understanding of the photosynthesis process and the role of chloroplasts in producing energy

Explore the fascinating ripple effects within ecosystems in the "More Indirect Effects" lesson from the Populations and Resources unit! This lesson guides students through two exciting missions using an interactive simulation to investigate how changes in one population can indirectly impact other organisms in the ecosystem. By analyzing data and observing patterns, students uncover the complex interconnections between animals, resources, and the environment.

Empower your students to take ownership of their learning with this interactive vocabulary slideshow aligned with the Amplify Science Populations and Resources unit! Designed for easy digital use, this resource encourages students to actively engage with key science terms by completing the slides on their computers.
