Types of Motion

Students will distinguish between and/or interpret the types of motion.
Matter and Energy - Atomic Structure

Using interactive exercises, students will describe the structure of atoms and the locations of particles with in the atom.
Gravity

Using interactives, students will demonstrate that gravity is the force that governs the motion of our solar system.
Light Years

Students will identify how light years are used to measure distances and sizes of components of the universe.
Types of Science Investigations

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

Given investigation scenarios and lab procedures, students will identify independent variables, dependent variables, constants, and control groups.
How Global Patterns of Atmospheric Movement Influence Local Weather

Students will identify how global patterns of atmospheric movement influence local weather.
Oceans and Weather Systems

Students will identify the role of the oceans in the formation of weather systems such as hurricanes.
Organisms and Environments - Organisms Interactions

Students will describe producer/consumer, predator/prey, and parasite/host relationships as they occur in food webs.
Organisms and Environments - Humans and Ocean Systems

Students will identify how humans depend on ocean systems and explain how human activities such as runoff, artificial reefs, or use of resources have modified these systems.
Cell Homeostasis: Osmosis

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.
Increasing and Decreasing Energy

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.
Weathering and Decomposition

A Tier 1 earth science instructional resource for grade 3
What’s Trending with the Elements?

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.
Sedimentary Rocks and Fossil Fuels

A Tier 1 earth science instructional resource for grade 5.
Light: Reflection and Refraction

This is a tier I instructional resource to provide a scaffolded learning experience for TEKS (5)(6)(C).
Cell Comparisons

Learners compare a variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes to determine similarities and differences among and between them.
What's Happening with the Weather?

This resource shows how to observe and describe weather changes from day to day and over seasons.
Introduction to Plate Tectonics

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

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