Syntax Shuffle
Students will analyze one of four ways to incorporate grammar and syntax into their everyday language through the use of technological instruction. Once students have comprehended their grammatical type, they will practice among their peers to master and share the lesson (grammar rule) in a Jigsaw activity.
Uncovering Tone in Poetry
Students will interpret the tone of a poem, cite text evidence to justify their response, and research a synonym for the word they chose to expand their understanding of Tier 2 vocabulary.
Teacher introducing the poem
Mendelian Genetics Using Monohybrids
Students will work collaboratively through a fictitious, real-world scenario to determine the probability of each breeding pair of dogs producing offspring with the desired trait for a fictitious client.
Demonstration and Analysis of Dihybrid Crosses
The students will review related vocabulary, watch the teacher model a dihybrid cross, and then perform a dihybrid cross and answer questions about the outcomes with a partner.
Escribir una carta persuasiva
This lesson was intended to be delivered in a face-to-face classroom environment. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, this lesson has been modified from its original design to be executed in a virtual setting.
This virtual lesson was designed to prepare students to communicate familiar topics in the presentational writing mode in the target language. Students will act as a college advisor and respond to a prospective student’s email regarding housing options. Students will then peer evaluate each other’s writing and provide meaningful feedback using a rubric.
Proving an Ecosystem’s Health Through Succession
Students engage in viewing day three of ecosystem changes in lab groups to determine if the ecosystem is healthy or unhealthy based on scientific data and factors.
Disruptions of the Cell Cycle: Cancer

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will identify disruptions of the cell cycle that lead to diseases such as cancer.
Mechanisms of Genetics: DNA Changes

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will determine the classification of organisms into domains and kingdoms.
Homeostasis: Ecological Systems
![OnTrack OnTrack logo](https://d1yqpar94jqbqm.cloudfront.net/styles/resource_icon_small/s3/images/ontrack_large_9_binder_1.png?itok=bGsrJJzj)
Given images, videos, or scenarios, identify and describe the responses of organisms, populations, and communities to various changes in their external environment.
Biological Systems: Homeostasis
![OnTrack OnTrack logo](https://d1yqpar94jqbqm.cloudfront.net/styles/resource_icon_small/s3/images/ontrack_large_9_binder_1.png?itok=bGsrJJzj)
Identify and describe internal feedback mechanisms involved in maintaining homeostasis given scenarios, illustrations, or descriptions.
Relationships Between Organisms: Food Chains, Webs, and Pyramids
![OnTrack OnTrack logo](https://d1yqpar94jqbqm.cloudfront.net/styles/resource_icon_small/s3/images/ontrack_large_9_binder_1.png?itok=bGsrJJzj)
Given illustrations, students will analyze the flow of matter and energy in food chains, food webs, and ecological pyramids.
Organisms' Adaptations
![OnTrack OnTrack logo](https://d1yqpar94jqbqm.cloudfront.net/styles/resource_icon_small/s3/images/ontrack_large_9_binder_1.png?itok=bGsrJJzj)
Given scenarios, illustrations. or descriptions, the student will compare variations and adaptations of organisms in different ecosystems.
Predict Monohybrid Crosses
![OnTrack OnTrack logo](https://d1yqpar94jqbqm.cloudfront.net/styles/resource_icon_small/s3/images/ontrack_large_9_binder_1.png?itok=bGsrJJzj)
Biology Kid2Kid videos present biology concepts taught to a student by a student. This resource contains videos that explain monohybrid crosses in both English and Spanish.
Cell Homeostasis: Osmosis
![R4SCI_GW_Resource_Logo](https://d1yqpar94jqbqm.cloudfront.net/styles/resource_icon_small/s3/images/R4SCI_GW_Resource_Logo.png?itok=DIzNZ6FW)
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.
