This Biology Curriculum Bundle Includes:
- Unit Curriculum Maps: This bundle gives you a complete roadmap for teaching biology from start to finish. The units are sequenced, organized by topic, and paced by day so you can quickly see what you are teaching, when you are teaching it, and which resources are included for each concept.
- Daily Lesson Plans Done for You: Each unit includes editable daily lesson plans that map out the day from start to finish. These plans include objectives, lesson overviews, agendas, materials, teacher directions, ticket-out-the-door questions, teacher tips, and differentiation strategies.
- Daily Warm-Ups and Tickets Out the Door: Every unit includes daily editable warm-ups to help students review, reflect, make connections, or engage with a new concept. Many warm-ups include sample student answers, discussion prompts, teacher notes, and extension ideas.
- Presentations and Guided Notes: This curriculum includes ready-to-use editable presentations and student notes for major biology topics. These resources support direct instruction while helping students stay organized and engaged.
- Hands-On Labs and Investigations: Students explore biology through hands-on labs and simulations that help them model, test, observe, and analyze important concepts. Labs are included for topics such as characteristics of life, osmosis, mitosis, ATP, fermentation, meiosis, genetics, evolution, energy flow, biodiversity, and biomagnification. Most labs are editable.
- Station Activities: Interactive station activities are included throughout the curriculum to get students moving, thinking, reading, modeling, and applying biology concepts. Stations are included for topics such as properties of water, macromolecules, enzymes, cells, mitosis, photosynthesis, DNA replication, protein synthesis, non-Mendelian inheritance, evolution, classification, energy flow, and population ecology.
- Webquests and Virtual Investigations: Webquests and virtual investigations are included throughout the year to help students explore concepts independently or in pairs. These are great for introducing new topics, reinforcing key ideas, or providing flexible digital learning options.
- Reading Comprehension Activities: Students build science literacy with reading comprehension activities that include chunked text, text-dependent questions, diagrams, analysis prompts, and review questions. These work well for classwork, homework, sub plans, remediation, or extra practice.
- Video Handouts: Guided video handouts are included throughout the curriculum to help students stay focused while watching science videos. These are great for introducing topics, reviewing concepts, or supporting visual learners.
- Graphic Organizers and Concept Maps: Graphic organizers, concept maps, and visual review activities help students organize information, connect ideas, and review key concepts before assessments.
- Projects, Booklets, Comics, and Creative Review Activities: Students apply what they have learned through projects and creative synthesis activities, including poster projects, booklet projects, comic activities, review games, and end-of-unit review projects.
- Careers in Science Activities: Careers in Science activities are included throughout the curriculum to help students connect biology concepts to real scientists and real-world science careers. These are perfect for early finishers, enrichment, sub plans, or end-of-topic extensions.
- Assessments and Review Resources: This curriculum includes pre-tests, quizzes, study guides, unit exams, review games, Kahoot reviews, and question banks to help you assess student understanding and provide flexible review options throughout the year.
- Sub Plans and Remediation Options: Built-in sub plans and remediation activities are included throughout the curriculum. These resources make it easier to support struggling students, provide extra practice, or keep learning moving when you need to be out.
- Editable, Digital, and Printable Options: Most resources are editable so you can adjust directions, questions, pacing, and activities to fit your students and classroom needs. Many resources include digital and print-friendly options for flexible use.
