This lesson is about exploring Arizona's state bird, the cactus wren, that lives in the desert, has special body parts and behaviors that help it survive in its harsh environment. Students will learn
In the novel Shiloh, Marty must leave Shiloh in the woods overnight. He quickly finds materials in his shed to build Shiloh a fence and structure to protect him from elements in the woods behind his
Students will dive into the fascinating world of parasitology as they collaborate in teams of three to analyze and evaluate the presence of parasites. The lesson aims to enhance both teamwork and
In this laboratory you will use the ELISA (Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) for detecting the presence of an antigen, such as a disease-related agent, from a sample of body fluid. You will be given
Using my backyard chickens as inspiration, this 5th grade lesson asks children to graph egg production and build a model of a chicken coop and run.
Lesson plan integrating Arizona Science and ELA standards for comparing and researching animal cells and plant cells, followed by a creative video project where students personify the parts of a
In this unit, students will explore the interdependencies in a system and uncovers circular causal connections. Students will use a stock-flow game, specifically the “Mammoth Game” to simulate how
In this unit students will observe how elements within a system changes over time, generating patterns and trends that affect the ecosystem of bees. Students will use Stock-Flow Maps to show the
Students will learn about hibernation and adapting to the winter cold. They will build shelters with different insulating materials so that their animals do not get cold. They will then do a gallery
Over the course of the next 15 days, students will have the opportunity to create a sourdough starter using a one of six different flours provided. This lesson focuses on one of the data collection
Over the course of the next 15 days, students will have the opportunity to create a sourdough starter using one of six different flours provided. This lesson is the first of three lessons that takes
What lives underground? Kinder- 2nd grade students will dig into the life found underground in this 3-part series. In this lesson, students will dig underground to extract soil, investigate/evaluate
This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course
Students will be able to utilize multimedia resources, such as online simulations and interactive videos, to explain the process of natural selection and provide examples of how it leads to species
Students will model examples from 3 of the 4 Macromolecule Groups, then film themselves describing their models with specific information about both the model and the Macromolecular group it is from
In this lesson, students will learn about and discuss the life cycle of a butterfly. They will then get 10 shapes total from the teacher (circles and squares). They will use their math skills to make
This lesson is the second lesson of a two-part series where students investigate concepts of biomimicry and apply them to the real world with issues like resource scarcity. In this lesson, students
In this lesson, students will learn about desert plant and animal adaptations and the concept of biomimicry. Students will discuss examples of biomimicry in nature and in the real world and will
This is best for high school AP/IB/Honors Biology students for using clay and miscellaneous items to model and then film their model of Cellular Respiration to better understand how the Electron
Students use test strips and research to solve the issue of a fish death in our classroom tank. This would also work well for the initial setup of a tank. Students see a tangible, observable, real
The lesson plan consists of three labs that students can perform to investigate photosynthesis by preparing a slide and observing the chloroplast, test for the presence of glucose in leaves and
