Biome cube activity rubric
Students will complete a Biome Cube Project to learn about Earth's six major terrestrial biomes: tundra, taiga, deciduous forest, desert, tropical rainforest, and grasslands. For each biome cube, students must provide the average temperature and precipitation, examples of at least 3 plants and 3 animals, and 3 interesting facts while including a picture to illustrate the biome. The project aims to examine how organisms depend on one another and their environments within the different biomes.
Evolution Power Point
Charles Darwin developed his theory of evolution based on four observations of organisms and populations: 1) offspring are produced in greater numbers than can survive, 2) populations remain stable in size, 3) variation exists among individuals of the same species, and 4) some characteristics are inherited. His two deductions were that organisms struggle for survival, with only the best adapted surviving ("survival of the fittest"), and these survivors pass on their useful adaptations to offspring through natural selection.
Genetics introduction
Students will learn how biological traits are passed from parents to offspring through genes and chromosomes. They will practice using Punnett squares to determine the potential phenotypes and genotypes of offspring based on the parents' genes. Students will also complete an interactive genetics simulation and survey their classmates about earlobe type to observe inheritance of traits.
Equitable access
1) As of 2010, over 68% of households had broadband internet access, while 80% had at least one internet user. Cable and DSL were the most common broadband technologies.
2) Lower income families, minorities, those with disabilities or less education, and rural residents generally had lower rates of broadband adoption and computer use.
3) The top reasons for not having broadband or internet access were lack of need or interest, lack of affordability, and inadequate computers to access the internet.
Alive, never alive pictures
The document lists various items and attempts to categorize them as either currently alive, never alive, once alive but now dead, or of uncertain status. It includes both living and non-living things such as plants, animals, foods, and other objects without providing much additional context.
Teacher guided reading guide (interactions)
Most living things produce more offspring than the environment can support. Limiting factors that determine the carrying capacity of an environment include food, water, shelter, and space. For example, peep and pop interactions may involve predation while camouflage, defensive chemicals, and warning coloration help organisms compete or avoid predation within an environment.
Food web and food chain connection game
This document lists various organisms from different levels of the food chain, including producers like grass, wheat, and phytoplankton; primary consumers such as squirrels, rabbits, frogs, and worms; secondary consumers including wolves, hawks, sharks, and foxes; tertiary consumers like bears and humans; and decomposers such as bacteria and fungi. The list encompasses plants, animals, and other organisms that interact with and depend on one another in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Biome tic tac-toe choice board
This document provides directions for a biome tic tac toe activity involving choosing three activities in a row to complete. The activities include applying knowledge of biomes to graphs, justifying which ocean zone can support plankton growth, creating a concept map of biome terms, planning supplies needed to camp in a biome for a year, identifying and describing 7 land biomes, hypothesizing what would happen if a wetland dries out, deciding if savannas and deserts are one biome based on evidence, imagining being a scientist studying a biome with given climate details and identifying plants, animals and winter preparations, and identifying adaptations for organisms in tundras, deserts or grasslands.

Biome travel guide
This document provides instructions for a student to create a travel brochure promoting a vacation to a specific biome. The brochure must be formatted as a tri-fold or bi-fold brochure in Microsoft Word or Publisher. It must include accurate information about the biome's location, climate, plants, animals, ecological issues, and human impacts. The brochure should convince tourists to visit the biome location and include details like transportation, lodging, costs, and safety tips. Students must complete an internet research worksheet to gather content for the brochure and cite sources of information. The project will be graded on accuracy, originality, effort, creativity, and following directions.
Characteristics of-life-cereal-box-rubric
The rubric assesses a cereal box project on the characteristics of life. It evaluates several elements of the box, including pictures and information on the front, back, and sides. The back must illustrate and label characteristics of life and include an activity. The sides need to list 6 characteristics of living things and 8 necessities of life. The inside requires a 10 question quiz on these topics with an answer key. Up to 100 points can be earned for neatness, creativity, and typing. Late penalties are deducted.
Kim energy ecology
This document provides instructions for completing a KIM vocabulary chart to learn key terms related to ecology. Students are asked to write a short definition in their own words, draw a memory clue picture, and caption the picture for each of the listed ecology vocabulary words, which include terms like biosphere, habitat, niche, population, and decomposition. The goal is to help students learn and remember important ecological concepts and vocabulary.
Ecology power point
Ecology is the study of interactions between living organisms and their environment. It involves studying both biotic factors like plants, animals and microorganisms, as well as abiotic factors such as light, water and soil. Ecology views environments as complex, integrated systems with many interdependent parts that function as a whole. It studies different levels of organization, from organisms and populations up to communities, ecosystems and the biosphere. The overall goal is to understand how living things interact with each other and their surrounding physical conditions.
Technology in special education
This document discusses special education and the challenges for educators. It covers what special education entails, legal directives regarding assistive technology, and trends showing more students requiring special education services. The document also outlines challenges around universal design and inclusion. Finally, it discusses various technology integration strategies for different types of special education students to help address their needs through assistive technologies, software, and adaptive devices.
Microscopes update
1. Microscopes are tools that use lenses to magnify objects so they can be seen more clearly. There are several types including simple, compound, stereoscopic, and electron microscopes.
2. Simple microscopes have one lens while compound microscopes use two or more lenses to allow light to pass through an object and the lenses. Stereoscopic microscopes give a three-dimensional view of living objects. Electron microscopes use magnetic fields and electron beams instead of light.
3. The eyepiece lens is usually 10x and does not change the magnification. The objective lenses have different powers like 4x, 10x, and 40x. To calculate total magnification, multiply the eyepiece magnification by the
Cell theory
The document outlines the key discoveries that led to the development of the cell theory. It states that the cell theory proposes that all living things are made up of one or more cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and all cells come from preexisting cells. It identifies the two main types of cells as prokaryotes, which are single-celled organisms without a nucleus, and eukaryotes, which are multicellular organisms that have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles such as plant and animal cells.
Cell organelle power point notes
The document describes several key organelles in plant and animal cells. It defines the nucleus as the "brain" of the cell that controls cellular activities. It also describes the nucleolus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi body, lysosomes, vacuoles, chloroplasts, and ribosomes. Each organelle is defined in one to three sentences explaining its structure and main function.

This document discusses how too much text or too many pictures can detract from a concept in a presentation, and that you still need to captivate your intended audience through scaffolding and graphic organizers while knowing your presentation well.
