Science Instructional Plans (SIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Science Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the content and the scientific and engineering practices found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.
These are simple ways to demonstrate water chemistry concepts such as adhesion, cohesion, and polarity to students in a hands on way using easy to find and inexpensive lab materials. The lesson was originally designed to align with a biology course to teach the impact of water on life, but it could also be modified to fit a chemistry or physical science curriculum.
Science Instructional Plans (SIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Science Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the content and the scientific and engineering practices found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom. This lesson includes the WIDA English Language Development Standards for ELs and differentiation through additional supports for both ELs and other students.
This lab safety quiz is in the form of a powerpoint presentation so it can be given to the whole class at once. I use the at the beginning of the very next class after we have gone over the lab safety agreement. There are 5 true/false questions and 5 short answer. Students can use their own lined paper to take the quiz. The first 10 slides contain the questions only. After students have finished the questions, have them trade papers for grading and then the last 10 slides contain the answers so you can grade together as a class.
This is a whole classroom collaborative process with the goal of creating a school-wide lunch waste composting program. The lesson relates the collaborative and iterative processes used in science to computer science.

This video explores the decline of southeastern U.S. grasslands over 300-400 years, focusing on the role of Native Americans and natural fires in maintaining these ecosystems. European settlers and agricultural practices disrupted this balance, converting grasslands into forests and farmlands. The result was a significant loss of these vital ecosystems, profoundly altering the landscape
DNA Technologies lesson adds some aspects of computer science and "everyday relevance"/ethics to a unit on DNA technologies followed by a DNA extraction lab. Students create a public opinion survey on DNA modification and use it to collect data (the more the better). Afterwards, they perform data analysis, viusualization and discussion in addition to extracting DNA and talking about its current uses in science and medicine. Students work in groups or as a whole class, depending on the class size.
