This science lesson focuses on identifying and communicating sources of experimental error. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read a scenario and identify information that reveals the type of error (systemic or random), and the source of the error. Then, they discuss and explain if the error is avoidable or unavoidable. In addition to the lesson, there is one page of Independent Practice and review modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This earth science lesson focuses on describing the evidence that all elements greater than Lithium were formed by nuclear fusion in stars. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read a scenario and identify important information. Then, they count the number of protons and neutrons to determine if the nuclear fusion reaction is correct. Finally, students write a statement to describe how the element was created by the stars. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This earth science lesson focuses on describing the life cycle of stars. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read a passage and identify information needed to complete the graphic organizer. Then, they give a description of what is happening during the stage in the star's life cycle. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This earth science lesson focuses on describing the role of paleomagnetism as evidence of plate tectonics. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the text and underline the theory and the evidence. Then, they complete the graphic organizer and use the information to answer questions. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This earth science lesson focuses on describing the forces that cause earthquakes. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the text and underline relevant information. Then, they complete the graphic organizer and use the information to answer questions. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This earth science lesson focuses on analyzing the structures that form at plate boundaries. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read a passage and complete a graphic organizer. They identify information that describes the type of boundary (convergent, divergent, transform) and the structure formed (mountain, volcano, trench, etc.). In addition to the lesson, there is one page of Independent Practice and review modeled after current adaptive testing items.
