Ocean Systems Card Sort & Ocean Impact Research Project (7.11B)
This TEKS 7.11B-aligned resource helps students analyze the impact of human activity on ocean systems through two engaging, standards-based activities. First, students complete a 10-pair card sort that reinforces key concepts like overfishing, pollution, coral bleaching, and sustainable practices using cause/effect and term/definition matches. Then, students dive deeper with a choice-based research project where they explore topics such as ocean acidification, marine protected areas, or climate

Teaching style
My teaching style is student-centered and hands-on, with a strong focus on real-world application and active learning. I design classroom-tested, STAAR-aligned science resources that support critical thinking, provide clear scaffolding, and keep students engaged. All this while also saving teachers time with low-prep, easy-to-implement materials.
