Students will distinguish between descriptive, comparative, and experimental investigations.

Given investigation scenarios and lab procedures, students will identify independent variables, dependent variables, constants, and control groups.

The focus of this resource is cell homeostasis and, more specifically, osmosis. Students investigate the concept through a virtual lab, recording and analyzing data, creating sketches to represent vocabulary, and discovering the role of aquaporins in water transport through the cell membrane.

This resource provides flexible alternate or additional learning activities for students learning about the concepts of distance,  speed, and acceleration. IPC TEKS (4)(A)

This resource provides alternate or additional learning opportunities for students learning the three Newton's Laws of Motion. It includes a collection of interactive materilas, videos, and other digital media. Physics TEKS, (4)(D)

This resource provides sample activities for teachers to use in helping students to identify and investigate the effects of increasing and decreasing amounts of light, heat, and sound energy on an object.

This resource, aligned with Chemistry TEKS (5)(C), provides alternative or additional tier-one learning options for students using the periodic table to identify and explain trends.

Learners compare a variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes to determine similarities and differences among and between them.

Learners calculate the probability of genotypic inheritance and phenotypic expression using mono- and dihybrid crosses.

Learners analyze and evaluate the effects of other evolutionary mechanisms.

Learners analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and developmental.

This resource is intended to use for Tier I classroom instruction.

This resource can be used, in conjunction with best practices, for Tier I classroom instruction.

A resource to be used for Tier I instruction for the introduction of the structure of atoms.

The learner explores the structure and function of the nucleic acids and enzymes important to the process of synthesizing proteins.

This resource provides Tier I instruction ideas for Grade 6+ science teachers in the area of potential and kinetic energy.

Sing along with Nature Cat, Nature Dog, and their friends and learn about how the ocean currents work with this “Motion of the Ocean” song! From the Nature Cat: Ocean Commotion special.

In this fun clip from Nature Cat: Ocean Commotion, Nature Dog and Sputnik form an unlikely alliance to rescue Mr. Chewinsky and in the process, they find out whether it’s possible to travel around the world using only the ocean currents.

In this 3rd through 5th grade video, students use their science knowledge and apply it using physical activity! Learning about the stages of matter, solid, liquid and gas, students perform an exercise for each as the teacher calls out an object such as soup or fog.
