This is a ONE PASSAGE SAMPLE. The following is the description of the FULL resource and the downloading links: Health & Applied Bioscience: Reading Comprehension Passages and Questions (Word) This very engaging collection of science reading passages about The Truth about Drinks, Green Tea, and Plastic in Medicine is designed to bridge the gap between science and literacy through strengthening reading comprehension and sparking scientific curiosity in middle school students. Each passage blends English Language Arts skills with accurate science content that supports NGSS classroom practice. Ideal for interdisciplinary learning in ELA and Science. Suitable for Grade 9 review, too! What Is Included? There are (3) informational passages: The Truth About Drinks: Many popular drinks add a lot of sugar, caffeine, or artificial sweeteners without people noticing. Knowing what is in sports drinks, sodas, and energy drinks helps you choose water or low-sugar options more often. Green Tea: Ancient Drink, Modern Science: Green tea comes from an old tradition, but today it is studied for its helpful plant chemicals. It can support alertness and health, but it works best as part of overall good habits, not as a magic drink. Plastic in Medicine: From Everyday Uses to Life-Saving Care: Plastics made it easier to keep hospitals clean, since items like gloves, syringes, and IV tubes can be used once and thrown away. They also make medical tools lighter and safer, though all that single-use plastic has to be handled carefully. Student Tasks for Each Passage: 5 multiple-choice questions targeting main idea, key details, inference, vocabulary in context, and use of evidence 5 vocabulary matching items with clear, student-friendly definitions 5 text-based questions that require citing specific lines or facts 1 summary prompt that asks students to condense central ideas accurately Full answer key for every section Available Formats for this Resource PDF Google Docs FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOADING LINKS HERE Reading Passage Links: Astronomy & Space Science PDF Word Docs Google Docs Volcanoes, Rocks, & Mountains PDF Word Docs Google Docs Rock Cycle, Soil, & Sinkholes PDF Word Docs Google Docs Mars, Glaciers, & Antarctica PDF Word Docs Google Docs Water Cycle, Acid Rain, & Wastewater PDF Word Docs Google Docs Insects, Animals, & Ecosystems PDF Word Docs Google Docs Bioluminescence & Insects PDF Word Docs Google Docs Animal Skin, Cats, & T.

High School 2025 July-September ELA Bell Ringer Bundle (Quarter)
ELA, Writing, Creative Writing, Research, Resources for Teachers, Homeschool Resources, High School, Teacher Tools, Assessments, Lesson Plans, Quizzes and Tests, Worksheets & Printables, Writing Prompts
I still remember the morning my daughter pushed back from our kitchen table, looked at me with genuine surprise, and said, "Mom, I actually have an idea for this one." It was our third week of starting each school day with a simple writing warm-up, and something had finally clicked. As a homeschool parent, I had been searching for that magic formula to help my reluctant writer find her voice, and honestly, I had almost given up on these short daily exercises. But watching her evolve from someone who stared at blank pages to a confident high schooler who can craft compelling arguments and vivid narratives – well, it reminded me that sometimes the most powerful learning happens in those unassuming 10-minute moments before we dive into our "real" lessons. Because she is heading into her first year of high school, she gave me the idea to create these writing prompts for High School ELA . WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE: Ready-to-use daily warm-ups 66 carefully crafted exercises covering a full academic quarter Grammar, Imaginative writing challenges focusing on speculative and dystopian themes KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Grammar, poetry, vocabulary, and sentence structure analysis Using literary excerpts for enhance critical thinking and textual analysis skills Diverse writing styles to help students/homeschoolers discover their unique voice and style Creative and descriptive writing prompts from dystopian to flash fiction As I reflect on our homeschool path, especially those sometimes challenging middle school years, I have come to understand that consistency trumps complexity every single time. It was not the elaborate unit studies or the impressive final projects that made the biggest difference in my daughter's writing development – though those certainly had their place. Instead, it was showing up each morning with a meaningful prompt, creating that safe space for her to experiment with words and ideas, and celebrating those small victories along the way. Now, as she navigates her ninth-grade year with genuine enthusiasm for writing across all subjects, I am reminded that my role as homeschool educators is not just to teach skills – it is to help our children discover they have important thoughts worth sharing and the tools to express them clearly. If you are in that familiar place of wondering how to bridge the gap between where your teenager is as a writer and where they need to be, these daily practices might just be the gentle, consistent support they need to surprise themselves with their own capabilities.

Creative Arts, Music, ELA, Reading, Writing, Research, Resources for Teachers, Social Studies, Biographies, High School, Homeschool Resources, Worksheets & Printables, Writing Prompts, Teacher Tools, Quizzes and Tests, Assessments
When John Michael Osbourne passed away almost three weeks ago in July, my daughter Gemma (she's 14) came to me crying because she had been listening to his songs since she was little. She wanted to know everything about his life - not just the crazy stuff everyone talks about, but the real story. I love that she is curious. She gives me ideas of resources to create based on her curiosity! So I started digging into Osbourne's background for Gemma, and wow - his story is absolutely fascinating. The way he turned all his struggles into something powerful? That is exactly what I want my kids to understand. Life's gonna knock you down, but you can choose what to do with that pain. You can choose to stay down or to get up and dust yourself off and try again. I ended up staying up way too late for about three weeks straight putting this whole thing together. This is not just another celebrity reading passage - I wanted to create something that would actually teach families about resilience and finding your voice. Look, I know heavy metal and homeschool do not usually go together, but sometimes the best lessons come from unexpected places, right? THIS RESOURCE INCLUDES: A detailed reading passage about his entire life (trust me, it's fascinating) 20 comprehension questions that actually make kids think 5 different note-taking sheets (because my three kids all learn totally differently!) A character organizer to dig deeper into what shaped him WHAT IS COVERED: His childhood struggles with learning differences and poverty How he started his famous band and changed rock music forever His solo career and that wild stage personality he became known for How he's influenced music and culture for generations This whole project has been incredibly personal for me since I have been listening to his music for over 40 years now, and watching my three kids discover these same never stops being amazing. I kept this resource family-friendly. I wanted to focus on his artistic journey and how he turned his struggles into something powerful - that's the stuff I wanted to focus on.

High School Science Weather and the Seasons Reading Passage
ELA, Reading, Writing, Research, Resources for Teachers, Science, Earth and Environmental Sciences, High School, Homeschool Resources, Teacher Tools, Worksheets & Printables, Writing Prompts, Assessments, Lesson Plans, Quizzes and Tests
As a homeschool mom with a 9th grader, I completely get it. Because of my daughter's frustrations with science curriculum that was not rigorous enough, I poured my experience into creating this complete High School Science Weather and the Seasons Reading Passage, Q & A, and Note-Taking Sheets unit. We move way past simple definitions here; your homeschooler will explore the intricate systems that truly govern our planet's climate, from the subtle astronomical forces like Earth’s tilt to the complex impacts of modern human activity. When creating this unit, my goal is simple: to build real critical thinking and analytical muscles, ensuring your student/homeschooler is not just memorizing facts, but truly mastering the dynamic science behind our world. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: Comprehensive reading passage 20 analytical, question prompts. Full answer key with detailed model responses for all questions. Ten (10) note-taking templates for active learning. TOPICS COVERED: The astronomical foundation (Axial Tilt and Orbit). Distinguishing weather vs. climate. Seasonal weather patterns and atmospheric circulation. Ecosystem reesponses and human adaptation to seasonal change. Beyond just ticking off a high school science credit, my deepest goal with this unit is to equip our kids with the critical scientific literacy they absolutely need for whatever the future holds. When your student/homeschooler digs into the fundamental connections between astronomical physics, atmospheric dynamics, and how our ecosystems respond, they will no't just be learning facts—they will genuinely see the profound, often delicate, interconnectedness of all Earth's systems. As a fellow homeschool mom and resource creator, I truly believe this material provides a strong foundation not just in essential Earth science, but in essential, informed global citizenship. If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review. Thank you for your support! Tina - Big Easy Homeschooling Mom
