    What teachers like you are saying

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”My students and I absolutely loved this resource!!! The way this was planned out with the reading, diagrams, and questions was perfect. I mainly used this with my students but they used it one day with a substitute and they wrote to tell me how great it was! (I think they thought I created it so I have to tell them otherwise!)”

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”he kids enjoyed using this during their virtual learning! It was very straight forward and covered exactly what we needed!”

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”I like that this helped my students with increasing their reading stamina, and they were able to annotate and pull out the main ideas.”

    Standards

    NGSSMS-LS1-2
    Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways the parts of cells contribute to the function. Emphasis is on the cell functioning as a whole system and the primary role of identified parts of the cell, specifically the nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, cell membrane, and cell wall. Assessment of organelle structure/function relationships is limited to the cell wall and cell membrane. Assessment of the function of the other organelles is limited to their relationship to the whole cell. Assessment does not include the biochemical function of cells or cell parts.
    NGSSMS-LS1-1
    Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells. Emphasis is on developing evidence that living things are made of cells, distinguishing between living and non-living cells, and understanding that living things may be made of one cell or many and varied cells.
    NGSSMS-LS3-2
    Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. Emphasis is on using models such as Punnett squares, diagrams, and simulations to describe the cause and effect relationship of gene transmission from parent(s) to offspring and resulting genetic variation.
    NGSSMS-LS4-4
    Construct an explanation based on evidence that describes how genetic variations of traits in a population increase some individuals’ probability of surviving and reproducing in a specific environment. Emphasis is on using simple probability statements and proportional reasoning to construct explanations.
    NGSSMS-LS1-6
    Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms. Emphasis is on tracing movement of matter and flow of energy. Assessment does not include the biochemical mechanisms of photosynthesis.
