This 55-page comprehensive, interdisciplinary curriculum will allow you to turn your classroom into an environmental action lab focused on ocean plastic pollution. Designed to bridge cutting-edge marine science with civic advocacy, it provides students with opportunities to move beyond passive learning and into actual environmental action based on evidence. The curriculum consists of three phases that take students through a complete educational process. In Phase 1, Theoretical Framework gives students all of the background knowledge necessary for them as citizens to become advocates for change through evidence-based advocacy strategies (i.e., the Coriolis Effect; chemical properties of polymers; biodegradability; accumulation and magnification of toxins in food webs; marine ecosystems) designed using science and basic tenets of physics & chemistry that are used in designing marine policies. In Phase 2, Application Phase, students have the opportunity to apply what they have learned through 10 worksheets that require analytical thinking skills (i.e., interpreting data sets; calculating numbers; ecological reasoning; evaluating corporations' environmental claims) in the creation of project proposals, respectively, regarding greenwashing, greenhouse gas emission reductions. In Phase 3, Instructional Materials, teacher support is provided (i.e., graphic organizers; rubric; answer keys with rational explanations; pacing guide; differentiation strategies, etc.) for successful implementation of the curriculum across disciplines. Students will have the opportunity to analyze real-world examples of ocean plastic pollution facts, including: the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Henderson Island, Midway Atoll; develop a quantitative analysis of the rate of time it takes for PVC plastic to decompose; create maps showing the locations of the locations of plastic and non-plastic debris along ocean currents; analyze data related to the successful clean up of beaches and oceans and use such information in forming international legislation that seeks to eliminate as much plastic pollution as possible through public awareness campaigns such as "I Love My Ocean" public service announcements etc. Students compose policy memos formally addressed to elected representatives. The materials will help students build skills and competencies in the areas of data literacy, systems thinking, scientific writing, persuasive communication and authentic political agency through a pressing global issue — marine plastic pollution. Topics Covered: Environmental Science, Earth Science, Marine Biology, Chemistry (Polymer Science), Economics, Civics/Government, ELA (Persuasive Writing, Research), Mathematics (Data Analysis, Percent Calculations, Unit Conversions).

What Makes It Busy and Maternal/School Parent-Friendly : Based on Neuroscience (not-created based off "Shame"): It regards procrastination as a normal neurological event, not an individual's defect nor character flaw. This removes guilt associated with procrastination by providing students with a "hacker" mindset to achieve the best outcome for their situation based on the wiring of their brains. Has Actionable, Step-By-Step Tools: Instead of vague and subjective statements like “just break it down,” this curriculum focuses on rigorous, rigorous sequencing (providing valuable resource worksheets/checklists) and concrete ways that a student can apply the information immediately. Targets Neurodivergent Learners: The section on differentiation for ADHD, ASD and Dyslexia students is a must-have addition to any inclusive classroom and will meet needs of all parents with children needing specific support; therefore, it is an extremely "valuable" and "highly-valuable" resource. Develops Lifelong Skills (beyond a one-time project): In addition to a single project, skills presented include metacognition, self-regulation, and planning—all important life-skills needed to continue and succeed throughout high school, college and after. The primary target audience is middle school students (6th-8th grade). The multiple case studies included (6th, 8th grade), the reorganization of the prefrontal cortex and task characteristics align directly with this group. The second target audience is upper elementary (4th-5th Grade) and high school (9th-12th Grade). As stated in the "Visuals & Teacher Keys" section: "(Grade 4-8)". The concepts provided are foundational and lend themselves readily to alteration, both upwards and downwards. High school students with executive functioning issues, especially those diagnosed with ADHD, would see tremendous benefit from this resource.

Math Mini Unit: Real World Percentages: Converting Test Scores
Math, Percentages, Decimals, Fractions, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Math Mini Unit: Converting Scores into Percentages This ready-to-print booklet is a real world math tool for teachers of grades 5-8. The activities inside let students practice and apply their knowledge of percentages, decimals, and fractions practically: to convert their test and assignment scores to a common denominator of 100 so that they can easily compare their learning and growth across several tasks. I find that my students love learning this skill: it makes them feel mature and gives them ownership over their learning. How to Use: This 8-page booklet guides students to calculate their scores as percentages, offering them an interesting hands-on experience in crunching numbers. The mini-unit features various problem-solving methods supported by detailed visuals, explanatory notes, practice questions, and partner-focused activities. The content ranges from dealing with equivalent fractions with easily convertible denominators (10, 20, 25) to complex conversions involving more than one-step. Dividing the numerator by the denominator is also explored as a strategy to use with ANY test score. I go through the pages of the booklet with my students over several classes. We complete some practice problems together as a class, I allow some partner or small group work, and I also assign some questions for students to complete independently. Grades to Use With: This math mini-unit is particularly designed for middle school grades (5-8) or high school special education classes who are learning about the relationship between fractions, decimals, and percentages and real world applications of these skills. What's Included: This PDF includes an engaging and easy-to-follow 8-page student booklet, along with an instructional page exclusively for teachers—making it ready to use without any additional prep-work needed.
