A slide-based lesson covering the phases of Earth's water, the hydrosphere, the water cycle, the cryosphere, and the cryosphere's effects on climate and weather.
A multi-file thematic unit teaching that pine trees are evergreen conifers, using leveled reading-comprehension passages, a structured science lesson plan, and a vocabulary slideshow.
A digital slideshow ('micro-learning deck') teaching what a lunar eclipse is, how it forms, and related facts, combining a video lesson, an audio-supported reading passage, vocabulary, and comprehension activities.
A slide-based lesson teaching why Earth has seasons, covering Kepler's elliptical orbit, Earth's tilt and revolution, equinoxes, and perihelion/aphelion for 9th-10th grade science students.
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.
An informational micro-lesson slideshow introducing spiders for middle/high school science classes.
Deliver an interactive digital slideshow lesson about dolphins combining a video, reading passage, close reading, and writing activities.
A high school physics lesson on forces and free-body diagrams (FBDs), covering common forces, drawing FBDs, resolving net force and force vectors using a chosen coordinate system.
An informational micro-lesson slideshow introducing the Spinosaurus for middle/high school science classes.
Provide 20 days of short daily review activities (bell ringers/warm-ups/exit tickets) covering the digestive, circulatory, and respiratory body systems for a high school biology class.
A set of bell-ringer/warm-up/exit-ticket questions on the physics of flight, meant to be given daily so students review and apply the previous lesson's content in a short routine at the start or end of class.
A recurring daily warm-up/exit-ticket system for a space/astronomy science unit, used to review prior lessons and build a review-and-focus classroom routine.
A slide-based lesson for senior (grade 10-12) earth and space science students teaching why Earth has seasons, covering Kepler's elliptical orbit, Earth's tilt and revolution, equinoxes, and perihelion/aphelion.
A no-prep, multimedia 'micro-learning' slide deck teaching students about African elephant biology, habitat, and behavior as part of an animal science unit.
Provide high school chemistry teachers (grades 10-12) with 20+ days of bell-ringer/warm-up/exit-ticket questions covering a solutions and solubility unit, for use in a flipped or traditional classroom.
A two-day middle school Earth science lesson teaching weathering (physical and chemical), erosion, and deposition processes.
Teach the water (hydrologic), carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus biogeochemical cycles in ecosystems through a guided-notes slide presentation with linked videos.
An interactive micro-learning slide deck teaching students about seahorse biology (habitat, reproduction, and general facts) through a video, reading passage, vocabulary key words, and comprehension activities.
An interactive multimedia slide deck teaching students about beavers through a video lesson, a non-fiction reading passage, vocabulary instruction, and comprehension/writing activities.
A multi-file distance-learning/homeschool chemistry pack teaching mixtures, solutions, dissolving, suspensions, and saturated solutions via an animated PowerPoint, worksheets, and a photocopiable lesson.
A 9-presentation science unit teaching the properties, behavior, and real-world applications of fluids (liquids and gases) as part of a matter-and-energy course.
An interactive digital slide-deck science lesson (micro-learning format) teaching about Death Valley's extreme geography and climate through a video, a close-reading passage, vocabulary, and comprehension activities.
An interactive digital slide deck (micro-learning lesson) teaching the causes and effects of global warming through a narrative reading passage with embedded audio, close reading, and informal assessment activities.
A three-day senior Earth and Space Science lesson on the Moon's origin (Collision-Condensation theory), orbital mechanics, phases, eclipses, and tidal influence, delivered via slide presentation with guided student notes.
