Design for Deeper Learning

i need to create a unit for science for grade 4 to explore the waves : sound, light

Design an inquiry-based learning experience (1–2 class periods, ~45 min each) for AP Precalculus, Unit 3: Constructing Functions. What students need to learn and be able to do: 3.1 Parent Functions - Understand that a parent function is the most basic function in a family of functions. - Describe and compare the key features of six parent functions: identity, absolute value, square root, quadratic, cubic, and reciprocal (domain, range, intercepts, intervals of increase/decrease). 3.2 Transformations - Construct a new function by applying translations, dilations, and reflections to a parent function. - Given an equation or graph, describe the transformations from the parent function. - Determine the domain and range of a transformed function. 3.3 Piecewise Functions - Interpret, evaluate, and graph piecewise-defined functions. - Write piecewise functions from a graph or from a real-world context. 3.4 Selecting a Function Model - Choose an appropriate function type for a scenario based on how the quantities change. - Describe the assumptions and restrictions of a model. 3.5 Constructing a Function Model - Build a function model from the constraints of a mathematical or real-world scenario. - Build a model using transformations of a parent function. - Use rational functions to model inversely proportional quantities. - Apply a model to answer questions about a data set or scenario. Important for this unit: Many students have never modeled a real-life scenario before. Students should learn that there may not be one correct model, and that their job is to JUSTIFY their model choice. Build in group discussion where teams compare and defend different models, and include an individual reflection for students' portfolios.

Students are learning about triangle congruence and I want to create a project where students are

I want a project focusing specifically on civil rights. The selected teaching standards associated within the unit should touch on the roles of citizens and noncitizens, as well as the relationship of political parties in the united states. I want the deliverable item to reflect civil rights cases and how they affect people's daily lives while the lessons within should continue to touch on the linked subjects from the standards.

art to save the sea. Art created to look like marine animals from recycled materials that may end up in the ocean.

• Unit 2: How Do Fossils Form? • Students investigate how plants and animals are preserved in rock over millions of years, creating models like mold, cast, and amber fossils. • Unit 3: Writing About Discovering a Fossil • Guiding question: How do writers tell compelling stories? • Mentor text: The Maiasaura Dig: The Story of Dr. Holly Woodward Ballard. • Performance Task: Students write and illustrate a narrative capturing the moment they discover a fossil as a paleontologist.
