Description
A biology curriculum bundle that has everything you need to teach high school biology for the entire year. This year long biology curriculum bundle includes models, case studies, task cards, labs, PowerPoints, study guides, projects, and now with the introduction of the model-based learning journal (ATLAS), it truly supports NGSS pedagogy as well as content. This curriculum has everything you need to teach a successful year of high school biology.
Many items are editable to tailor to your needs. A suggested pacing guide is included for every topic as a guide to sequence the items in the bundle.
Here are some answers to the Biology Curriculum FAQs:
✓ Yes, this biology curriculum bundle does support NGSS
✓ Yes, there are digital (paperless) options for nearly every resource in the year long biology curriculum.
✓ Yes, many items are editable.
✓ Pacing Guides are included for day to day planning.
✓ The curriculum is flexible, easy to use, and easy to modify.
✓ The ATLAS journals support NGSS pedagogy. The ATLAS journals come with a separate pacing guide to use before teacher-lead instruction. ATLAS is a supplemental inquiry/model based learning journal and is completely optional. If you choose not to use it as is, you can pull activities from it to use however you wish. It is a great resource to have on hand.
