If your students have difficulty with b/d reversals, visual crowding, or reading anxiety, phonics worksheets often do not work for kids who are neurodivergent because they create a cognitive overload situation. The Visual Phonics Decoding Program is a complete no-frills paradigm shift in reading interventions. Using the proprietary Visuo-Phonological Anchor Model (VPAM), this program creates a connection between auditory processing and the visual-spatial pathways, enabling students (first, second and third graders) to develop automaticity when decoding. The Visual Phonics Decoding packet also follows the principles of the Science of Reading and the cognitive principle of Orthographic Mapping and removes unnecessary visual distractions and replaces them with structured visual anchors. What’s Being Offered In Our 25 Page Complete PDF? Educator Theory and Implementation Manual: A deep dive into the Neurological Structure of Dyslexic Reading, Double-Deficit Hypothesis, and Orthographic Mapping with practical application chapters. Actual Case Studies with Practical Application: Profiles to show how to use these methods with Early Elementary School-Aged Children. Intervention Worksheet Series: Intervention worksheets have been developed utilizing Typographic Grounding, Chromatic Categorization and Spatial Bounding principles. Medial Short Vowels (CVC orthography), Consonant Digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh, ck), Initial Consonant Blends. Teacher Reference Materials/Visual Aids: Contains Visual Aids for Cognitive Orthographic Mapping Protocol and the anatomy of a Dyslexic Friendly Worksheet. Complete Answer Keys and Formative Assessment Protocols. Great For Special Education (SPED) Tier II and Tier III Reading Intervention, Home Schooling & Orton Gillingham Compatible Teaching Methods. Help struggling readers to stop guessing and to have the confidence to code words correctly using decoding! Reasons that Parents/Schools Appreciate It: Elimination of Visual Clutter: Heavy bottom, sans serif fonts, and greater spacing are used strategically to help identify and prevent visual representation of b, d, p, q from being represented as flipping or floating through space. Working Memory Limitations are Bypassed: Students are able to visually lock into a vowel team or digraph without being overwhelmed by using the use of Chromatic Anchor System and bounding boxes. No Fluff & No Distractions: All worksheets were specifically created to conserve as much of a dyslexic child's cognitive energy as possible. Therefore, no clip art, decorative art, or unnecessary instructions are contained to help conserve any cognitive energy from teaching a child to read. Creates Teacher and Parent Power: Also, all worksheets have a clear and complete "Educator Rationales" so parents and teachers can better understand the rationale and methodology for teaching their children. Gives Children the opportunity to Create True Orthographic Mapping: Children are prevented from memorizing and guessing from the visual image or picture, therefore, they are developing the skills to accurately map sounds to letters, which is the basis for long-term efficiency when it comes to reading. Target Audiences: Identify your target audience based on the curriculum's own Tiered Decoding Progression Model (pg. 22) and Introduction (pg. 1). Target Specifically: Grade Levels: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Audience: Students with a diagnosis of Dyslexia, students exhibiting signs of reading anxiety, children who are guessing at reading, children struggling with traditional written Phonics, as well as neurodivergent children from all backgrounds. Skills: Students needing support with CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words, students needing support with consonant digraphs (sh, ch, th) and students needing support with initial consonant blends.

Sensory Diet Planning for Overstimulation
Life Skills, Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, STEM, Physical Education, P.E. & Health, Health, Homeschool Curriculum, Homeschool Templates, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Worksheets & Printables, Workbooks, Worksheets, Word Searches, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans, Quizzes and Tests, Quizzes, Tests, Assessments
Help your autistic learners thrive in the classroom and beyond with this complete sensory diet toolkit that will allow you to create a sensory diet for each learner. If you're a parent, educator, or therapist who feels lost when trying to understand the sensory processing issues of young autistic learners and are looking for a way to go beyond reactionary approaches to create an environment that is neuro-affirming, this is the toolkit for you! The 35-page guide was created by professionals who understand the challenges faced by preschool through 1st grade educators and provides clear, easy-to-follow instructions to create, implement and track an effective sensory diet. This is more than just worksheets; it is a complete evidence-based professional development program helping you develop your skills as a sensory detective using evidence-based data. What’s Included in This Evidence-Based Toolkit: Phase 1: Comprehensive Theory & Methodology (10 Pages) : This section offers a thorough guide detailing the neurobiology of sensory overstimulation, the often-overlooked senses such as proprioception, vestibular awareness, and interoception. Additionally, it covers fundamental concepts regarding a sensory diet and features case studies to enhance practical understanding. Phase 2: Student Workbook & Facilitator Tracking Tools (17 Pages) : This part comprises a collection of 11 clinical-grade worksheets intended for educators and parents to monitor, assess, and address sensory needs. These tools include: - Tracker for Sensory Baseline & Arousal State - Guides for Proprioceptive, Vestibular, and Tactile "Brain Breaks" - Early Warning Signs Tracker for Overstimulation - Audit Checklist for Classroom Environmental Triggers - "My Body Feels..." Interoception Check-In with an accompanying visual chart designed for students! - And much more! In this section of the Toolkit there are important visual representations and other teaching materials to provide you with what you need for an effective system of Supports. Phase 3: includes visual representation(s) of the "Escalation & Intervention Cycle" (Examples: Conceptual Diagrams - for use in understanding the steps in the Cycle). - "Brain Break Taxonomy" flowchart - allowing you to tie interventions to specific behaviours in the Escalation Cycle. - Teacher Implementation Guide, with details on how to implement the components of the toolkit as well as a neurodiversity-affirming perspective. - Model Documentation - showing you how to complete trackers for maximum effect. The contents of your Toolkit will help you transition from "Behaviour Management" (i.e. behaviour modification techniques/strategies) to "Neurological Support" (ie supporting learners by providing specific tools & strategies for self-regulation) through concrete examples identifying the root causes of behaviours, preventing crises before they happen and teaching learners through respectful means." Reasons That Parents/Schools Appreciate It: Proactive vs Reactive: Rather than only reacting to incidents of sensory overload or meltdowns, it provides a data-based system for helping to identify causes of the issue and preventing future occurrences through additional data tracking tools. All-in-one vs completing multiple worksheets: This program is designed as a complete curriculum including theory, tracking, intervention and teacher guides. All resources are provided in one location, reducing the burden on the parent and/or educator having to independently find and create all the resources. Creates Consistency in Support throughout Home/School: The program has been designed to provide tools that can be used and shared between home and school, providing a system of support for the child, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Empowering and approves of Neurodiversity: The program promotes the understanding and support of a child’s neurological needs with dignity and respect thereby eliminating the need to use antiquated methods of behavior modification. Immediate Implementation: The program was designed for immediate use in a real-world situation with written and sample instructions included; therefore, it is easy for all educators to implement new strategies into day-to-day teaching. Depending on the content and language used in the PDF, the target audience should be: Grade Level: Pre-K, Kindergarten, and First Grade (in particular, the age range of 4-7 years old).

This fossils reading comprehension with lesson plan includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question and additional facts. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Fossils Genre: Nonfiction (Informational Text) Subject: Science (Earth Science/Life Science) / Reading (Informational Text) Primary Topic: Fossils, how they form, and what they reveal Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): Q What This Lesson Teaches Best Defines a fossil and explains that fossils can be body parts (tooth, bone) or traces (footprint, burrow, fossilized poop) that become clues in the “fossil record.” Explains how fossils form when remains are quickly covered by sediment , and minerals in water replace material or fill empty spaces until remains harden like stone. Teaches mold and cast formation: a body can disappear, leaving a hollow mold that later fills to make a cast. Introduces paleontology and shows how scientists “read” patterns in sedimentary rock layers to learn how life has changed over time. Shows how fossils can guide new discoveries , including using rock layers to search for missing kinds of creatures (Tiktaalik example). Learning Goals Students will identify two kinds of fossils named in the text and give an example of each. Students will explain how sediment and minerals help remains become hard “as stone.” Students will describe how a mold and a cast can form, using the text’s explanation. Students will explain how scientists use patterns in sedimentary rock layers to learn which fossils are older. Students will describe why the fossil record is “not complete,” based on the passage. Students will describe how fossils can help scientists decide where to search for new discoveries. Key Vocabulary From the Text sediment — dirt and tiny bits of rock. minerals — materials in water that can harden remains. mold — a hollow shape left after a body is gone. cast — a filled-in copy of a hollow shape. paleontology — the study of ancient life using fossils.

Whether your students are already familiar with detective fiction or encountering it for the first time, this resource offers a simple and accessible way to combine reading skills, character study, and media analysis. The core of the material is a short informational text that provides background on the character and the actress who portrayed her. Students work with a structured profile sheet and a short quiz to reinforce their understanding. If you choose to watch a Miss Marple film with your class, there are two additional worksheets: one for summarizing the movie plot and one for writing a short review. What’s included: Informational text about Miss Marple and Margaret Rutherford Worksheet to create a character profile Quiz questions with solution key Film content worksheet (optional use) Film review worksheet (optional use) Solutions for all main tasks Format: PDF (print-friendly and digital) How it works in class: This is the kind of resource I like to keep on hand for flexible lessons.

Watching one of the Miss Marple films adds variety to the lesson and gives students a chance to apply what they’ve learned in a fun and creative way. The film-related worksheets are structured, so even students with less writing experience can follow along easily.

Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill.

Kindness & Gratitude Daily Reflection Journals
Special Resources, Life Skills, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, STEM, Resources for Teachers, Classroom Management, Community Building, Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Worksheets & Printables, Workbooks, Worksheets, Word Searches, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans, Presentations, Quizzes and Tests, Quizzes, Tests
With the Kindness and Gratitude Daily Reflection Journals (e.g K-5), you have the ability to turn your classroom or home into a center of kindness and emotional intelligence. This wonderful curriculum is a complete forty-three page pdf that contains research-based information from the fields of child development, affective neuroscience, and Somatic-Cognitive Integration Methodology as well as ten student worksheets that are ready for live implementation, and teacher implementation resources. This resource is designed specifically for classrooms with student populations from Kindergarten to 5th grade and is built on the facilitation of social skills through three developmental tiers: K-1: Sensory and Affective Identification (visual prompts/drawing) 2-3: Relational Reciprocation and Theory of Mind 4-5: Complex Systems (Ripple Effect) Thinking, and Intrinsic Altruism Through this curriculum, students will become "Kindness Detectives", engage in an Action-Reflection Cycle, create a map of gratitude through various ecosystems, develop their resilience using silver-lining prompts, and implement acts of altruism through a "Kindness Architect" blueprint. In addition, the curriculum includes theory around neuroplasticity, case studies of real-world use that show 42% drop in conflicts in the morning and 60% increase of student feeling "seen and valued", structural schematics (SVG format), differentiation strategies for reluctant learners, and a complete Teacher Implementation Guide. The Kindness Journals are perfect to use in morning meeting times, social/emotional learning blocks, restorative justice, homeschooling, or guidance/counseling sessions. This zero-preparation curriculum is available as a digital download, and you can easily print the material or assign the material digitally. The Kindness Journals can help increase emotional granularity, empathy, and an overall positive class culture within your classroom, while also providing a resource that supports SEL competencies as developed by CASEL. The reason teachers and parents are happy using this program: Results are measurable! Real-life classroom studies show that using the academic curriculum has decreased morning conflict by 42% and has helped 60% of the children who take part be recognized and appreciated. Both parents and teachers see these changes immediately! There is little preparation time needed to use the academic program. There are 10 ready-to-use worksheets and a teacher's guide with supportive materials for you to be able to use this program right now without spending any time preparing. The academic curriculum has been designed to have the ability to grow as the child grows, from drawing pictures in Kindergarten and First Grade to developing a sense of right and wrong in Fourth and Fifth grade. This ensures that each child in the room is able to be challenged and feel successful through the entire academic experience. The academic program uses what's called mirror neurons, neuroplasticity, and body language to ensure children will exhibit kindness as a daily behavior rather than as a rule. The academic program teaches children to look internally for their own feelings and authentic emotions as opposed to focusing on external rewards or expectations (performative kindness). The result of this process helps to create a child with a higher level of empathy and emotional resilience. Who this is for : This document has been created specifically for K-5 students (ages 5-11). It's not right for Pre-K (the material is too advanced) or Middle School./ For grades K-5, the three-level scaffolding aligns directly with elementary learner neuro-developmental stages., making this resource a match for the following categories of K-5 educators: -General education elementary classrooms (Grades K-5) -Families who homeschool their children -School Counselors / Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Coordinators -Special education / inclusive classrooms (differentiated activities provided) . -After school program or character education clubs .

John Dalton – A Short Introduction to a Key Figure in Chemistry Informational Text, Student Tasks & Digital Quiz (PDF + H5P) 🧪📘 A printable and digital resource for grades 7–10 This material introduces students to John Dalton, best known for his early atomic theory and his work on gases. The text is kept simple and clear, making it easy to integrate into lessons on the history of chemistry or atomic structure. It’s especially useful when you want to combine reading comprehension with scientific content. I’ve used this type of material when I needed something structured but flexible – for example, during quiet lesson phases, independent study, or even in a substitute teaching situation. It’s straightforward enough to use without much prep, and students can usually work through it on their own or in pairs. Here’s what’s included: A short reading passage about John Dalton A worksheet where students fill out a basic profile of him Quiz questions to check understanding (with solutions) Two optional follow-up tasks: – Write your own questions about the text – Swap and answer a partner’s questions Available in three formats: – PDF (print-friendly) – Editable .docx (text only) – H5P version for interactive use without images In the classroom: The material works well for independent work or as part of a science station. Students start with the reading text, complete the profile, and then move on to the quiz questions. The optional tasks are a nice way to extend the activity, especially if some students finish early. The H5P version is useful if you’re working in a digital setting or want to offer students the chance to check their answers right away. It’s a calm, focused lesson component that helps students learn about an important scientific thinker – without needing complicated prep or background knowledge. Have fun exploring the world of science with your students! Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know?

Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Whales Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Life Science / Informational Reading Primary Topic: Whales as mammals, feeding types, fossils, human impacts Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): Q What This Lesson Teaches Best Whales are mammals that breathe air with lungs through blowholes , so they must surface as part of everyday life. Whales can have two different feeding tools : baleen plates that strain food like krill, or sharp teeth used to grab fish or squid. Fossils provide evidence that early whale relatives were land mammals and changed over millions of years to live in the ocean. Human activity affects whales today (fishing gear tangles, ships strike, and loud noise can fill the water where whales communicate), and scientists use tracking tools to help protect them. Learning Goals Students will explain why whales rise to the surface using details about breathing and blowholes. Students will compare how baleen whales and toothed whales get food, using evidence from the text. Students will describe what fossils show about where whales came from long ago. Students will identify one modern problem that can make whale communication harder, based on the passage. Students will describe at least one way scientists track whales to protect them, using details from the text. Key Vocabulary From the Text blowholes — nostrils on top of a whale’s head. baleen — mouth plates that strain tiny food from water. krill — tiny sea creatures baleen whales hold onto. streamlined — shaped to move smoothly through water. fossils — old remains in rock that give clues.

Are you having difficulty keeping your class from being disrupted by impulsive behaviors, such as yelling out of turn, grabbing objects off the desk, etc? Transform your classroom into an orderly, peaceful environment using this cutting edge, neuroscience-based curriculum for teaching impulse control skills! This is not a behavior chart. It is a complete, turn-key curriculum designed to provide K-3 students with a reason for their actions and give students the skill set necessary to “Stop and Think.” This curriculum is based upon cause and effect mapping. This curriculum also creates a visual, non-judgmental framework for developing and reinforcing lifelong self-control and executive functioning skills without relying upon punishment. The impulse control curriculum is a perfect teaching tool for general and special education teachers and school counselors because it directly addresses the neurodevelopmental needs of young children. Young students will finally develop a clear understanding of how to connect the impulse for an immediate action with the consequences of that action at a future time. Packages Include 46 Pages of Content That Covers: Phase 1: Educator’s Guide to the Impulsive Brain: A Simple, Easy-to-Follow Guide About the Neurobiology of the K-3 Brain So You Can Implement this Strategy in Your Classroom with Confidence. Phase 2: Student Workbook with 10 Scenarios: Homework Sheets That Help You With Everyday Classroom Challenges. Primarily Used For Teachers To Give Out, Also For Students To Complete On Their Own.

Download now and create a more compassionate, calm, and productive classroom! Search Terms: Impulse control, self-regulation, social emotional learning (SEL), classroom behavior management, behavior Intervention, executive functioning, Cause and Effect, Stop and Think, K-3, Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, ADHD Support, Emotional regulation, print documents, behavior mapping, visuals to support learning. Reasons Why Parents and Schools Appreciate This System: The focus of this system is on skill building through the development of empathy & social awareness, rather than punishment. When discipline is replaced with proactive skill building, it empowers your child. This system is backed by neuroscientific research on how children develop. Many traditional methods do not function well because they do not work with how the brain develops, so this system is based on good science. Through the principle of the "ripple effect", children will develop a better understanding of how their behaviour affects not only themselves but also family & friends. This is not just a worksheet. This system includes the teacher's guide, activities for students, visual aids and an answer key, so you can spend more time teaching & less time preparing. The system will validate the feelings and impulses of a child ("Your body was telling you to grab") and provide the child with tangible tools to make a better choice, allowing him/her to become an active architect of his/her own success. Intended Audience: The target audience is educators and support personnel who work with children in grades K-3, as well as parents who want to support their child at home. The way that children in this age group typically learn and behave, make it difficult for them to develop effective self-regulation skills, therefore parents and professionals need additional support in teaching these skills. The explicit text indicates a K-3 focus (ages 5-9) and the type of behavioral problems addressed in this resource; behaviors classified as K-3 students in the general education classroom include: * K-3 General Education (all K-3 classes) * K-3 Special Education teachers who assist students with ADHD, ASD and/or other executive functioning deficits * School-based counselors, social workers and school psychologists providing small group and individual intervention * Behavior interventionists and BCBAs * Proactive parents wanting to implement strategies at home to help their child gain self-regulation skills Copyright and Terms of Use: The author, Syed Hammad Rizvi, has copyrighted this resource for your sole enjoyment in the classroom and at home.

Using the Renewable Energy Experiments and Design Challenge Kit – A rigorous classroom-tested STEM Curriculum that combines Physics, Environmental Science and Engineering Design – will allow you to help your students think like engineers in their development of renewable energy solutions. This kit provides all of the resources necessary for a 4–6 week exploration of renewable technologies related to our decarbonized future, from the quantum principles behind photovoltaic cell technology to the fluid dynamics governing how hydroelectric turbine work. Each of following modules combines a conceptual theory with supplemental worksheets to enhance learning through hands-on experience. The culmination of each module will be students participating in a high-stakes design challenge (Zero-Emission Island) to develop a resilient microgrid that integrates the use of solar, wind, pumped hydroelectric, biogas and battery storage energy. In addition to individual student worksheet documents, this kit includes a comprehensive teacher implementation guide, timeline for pacing to meet state or national standards (NGSS & AP), student use rubrics, lab setup instructions that outline acceptable ranges for outcome data variation, and a complete answer key for ALL (10) worksheets included in this kit. Additionally, this kit includes multiple real-life case studies of renewable energy technologies (i.e., Hornsdale Power Reserve, Hywind Tampen Floating Wind Farm, Agrivoltaics at Jack’s Solar Garden) that provide students with practical applications of the theoretical concepts they have studied. As such, regardless of the type of renewable energy unit you teach (i.e. AP Environmental Science Course, Physics Elective or Engineering Pathway) through the depth of the 10 different renewable energy modules offered within this kit along with the flexibility within the teacher implementation guide and provided assessment tools, making this pack is perfect to help you deliver an unforgettable renewable energy experience for your students. Highlights: 10 complete modules (solar, wind, water/ocean, geothermal, biomass, storing energy, combined energy and grid, life cycle analysis, and LCOE economics) culminating with an island design challenge, Worksheets for students with practice, data analysis, and critical thinking skills, Answer key fully worked out with all qualitative explanations, Teacher's guide (nightly admin book, where applicable) with pacing, aligned to standards (NGSS HS-PS2-1, HS-PS3-3 and HS-ETS1-2) by common failure points, with tolerances in lab wiring, Visuals of energy flow paths, how turbines work, and the engineering process Target audience: Advanced Placement / International Baccalaureate (IB), Grades 9-12 and Entry Level College Environmental or Engineering Class. Reasons Schools & Parents Like It : Ready-made curriculum based on set of standards saves the teacher lots of time (many hours), so everything needed for a complete lesson (worksheets, labs, rubric) are able to be printed out, or assigned electronically. Real live examples of real live engineering solutions to energy issues for 2021 (Hornsdale battery, floating offshore wind turbines, agrivoltaics) will be shown through very useful case studies. Higher order thinking will develop as the students no longer use simply memorization, but will be able to calculate efficiencies, design systems, troubleshoot failure, and validate their choice with data. All instructor is given with teaching easiness through complete instructor support: flags common mistakes with students, lab data tolerance ranges, and answer keys for each piece of lab to help less knowledgeable (or skilled) instructors teach well. Materials can be flexible and modular - they are usable to complete a full 4 or 6 week unit or to supplement or complement an existing unit. Also will work in each of the 3 delivery formats - in-person, hybrid, or remote.
