An interactive science micro-learning deck teaching what weather is, how it differs from climate, and the factors (heat, air pressure, wind, moisture) that produce weather, using a video-lesson slide, close-reading passage, vocabulary, and quick-write.
Local-election civics simulation in which students design a fictional candidate to run for mayor of "Genericbury"/"Genericburg," including background, campaign slogan, and stances on local issues, to explore what makes a candidate "electable" and how representatives respond to voters.
Teaches Kepler's three laws of planetary motion and the historical progression from geocentric to heliocentric models, for high school earth/space science.
Put scientific-method ideas into practice by comparing how much water different paper towels absorb. Students plan a controlled comparison, record measurements, calculate averages and use a graph to support their conclusion. Student notes and matched completed slides introduce variables and hypotheses beforehand, while an extension sheet suggests changing the liquid or measuring absorption time for a later investigation.
Scaffolded digital interactive notes ('Pixanotes') for middle school ELA teaching literary character development, with a self-grading quiz.
Teach and assess angle relationships formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, partially addressing CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.G.A.5.

GCSE PE Anatomy & Physiology lesson teaching the cardiac cycle, route of blood flow through the heart, and how blood flow relates to cardiac output and stroke volume.
Teach the seven functions of the human skeleton (movement, attachment, protection, production of blood cells, mineral storage, shape, support) and how each applies in sporting performance, as part of a GCSE PE anatomy & physiology unit.
Provide a multi-resource bundle teaching the scientific method (the eight steps: questioning, controlling variables, hypothesis, planning, performing, observing, analyzing, discussing) through slide-based lessons and hands-on lab/project activities.
