🚀 Unit Breakdown: What Will You Teach?

This 10-week curriculum is designed to keep students engaged and excited about science, even if they’re learning from home or in a blended classroom. It’s broken into two awesome 5-week units:

Unit 1: Foundations of Biology and Genetics (Weeks 1-5)

Your students will start by exploring the building blocks of life—think cell biology, genetics, and how life functions on a microscopic level. Each week builds on the last, leading students through key concepts such as:

• Week 1: Properties of carbon and water (spoiler: they’re both amazing!), plus an intro to biological molecules and cell structures.
• Week 2: Dive into plant cell structure, ATP production, and photosynthesis—you know, all the plant magic!
• Week 3: Study DNA, genetic inheritance, and cell division. Your students will be DNA experts in no time!
• Week 4: Move on to meiosis, natural selection, and even speciation. The building blocks of life get even cooler!
• Week 5: Wrap it up with evolutionary biology and taxonomy—perfect for exploring how species are classified.

Unit 2: Biology and Ecology (Weeks 6-10)

This unit brings biology to life—literally! From the human body to entire ecosystems, students will love learning how everything’s connected.

• Week 6-7: Break down major human body systems like the nervous, circulatory, and skeletal systems. It’s hands-on learning at its best!
• Week 8: Explore plant biology with a look at reproductive strategies, photosynthesis, and vascular plant function.
• Week 9-10: Take a journey through evolution, comparative anatomy, and ecology, all while exploring the amazing ways life evolves and interacts with its environment.

🌱 NGSS Standards? Covered!

Let’s face it: aligning your lessons with NGSS standards can be tricky. But this curriculum already has that covered! With 22 NGSS standards integrated into the lessons, you can feel confident your students are getting the education they need—without you spending hours matching standards to lessons.
