FOSS Next Generation Population and Ecosystems, Conversion Kit, from First Edition, with 160 Seats Digital Access

<div class="long-description"><h2>Description</h2><p>Look around . . . you&rsquo;re in an ecosystem. How do you know? Because there are organisms everywhere. An ecosystem is an organizational unit of life on Earth, defined by a physical environment and the organisms that live there. This course explores the anchor phenomenon of population dynamics within ecosystems. The driving question for the course is how do organisms, matter, and energy interact in an ecosystem?</p> <p>Organisms depend on their ecosystem for survival. Energy and matter, in the form of food, flow through an ecosystem. The critical role of photosynthetic organisms in creating food is what allows the rest of the organisms in the ecosystem to exist. Disruption to one element of the ecosystem produces waves and ripples that touch every member of the system. Changes may produce pressures in the ecosystem. When change is precipitous, a population may be exterminated.</p> <p>One powerful change agent in just about every ecosystem on Earth is humans. Human mobility, technology, and institutions place pressures on many ecosystems. The first step toward alleviating disruptive pressure on natural systems is understanding how they work and what they need to remain healthy.</p> <p>This course provides students with the first steps along the path of ecological understanding, with the hope that their future steps will be considered and measured, serving the interests of all life.</p></div><div class="feature-description"><h2>Features</h2><p>FOSS Curriculum:</p> <ul> <li>Allows students to be active investigators instead of passive learners</li> <li>Is built around firsthand exploration of relevant phenomena using classroom-proven theories and practices to engage all students</li> <li>Aligned to NGSS, Framework for K to 12 Science, and Common Core standards</li> <li>Provides unmatched professional learning, including hands-on &amp; virtual teacher workshops</li> </ul></div><div class="in-box-description"><p>Resources available in this collection include:</p> <ul> <li>Comprehensive hands-on equipment kits made exclusively for FOSS</li> <li><strong><em>Investigations Guide&nbsp;</em></strong>(Teacher Edition Book) core instructional hardcover spiral-bound book provides educators with the support to successfully facilitate the investigations - available in print and digital</li> <li><strong><em>Teacher Resources</em></strong>&nbsp;with educative support to effectively teach standards - available in digital</li> <li><strong><em>FOSS Science Resources</em></strong>&nbsp;<strong><em>book</em></strong>&nbsp;(Student Edition Book) for students to build expository reading skills and highlight STEM careers - available in print and digital</li> <li>Accessibility options to the interactive digital resources on the ThinkLink&trade; platform for effective planning and engaged learning</li> <li>Spanish teaching and learning resources &ndash; available in print and digital</li> </ul></div>

<div class="long-description"><h2>Description</h2><p>In this module, students experience that organisms exhibit a variety of strategies for life, have a variety of structures and behaviors, have varied but predictable life cycles, and reproduce by passing inherited characteristics to offspring. Students explore how individual organisms have variations in their traits that may provide an advantage in surviving in a particular environment and how our knowledge of animals that survived in past environments is inferred by studying fossil characteristics.</p> <p>Students engage with the ideas in the Structures of Life Module through five anchor phenomena:</p> <ul> <li>Anchor phenomenon 1&mdash;mystery plants appear</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 2&mdash;some bean plants look different</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 3&mdash;critters on the loose</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 4&mdash;changing population of insects</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 5&mdash;uncovering unexpected organisms</li> </ul><br> <p>Students observe, compare, categorize, and care for organisms. Students engage in science and engineering practices to investigate the structures and behaviors of organisms and learn how the structures function in growth, survival, and reproduction. Students look at the interactions between organisms of the same kind, among organisms of different kinds, and between the environment and populations of organisms over time. Students focus on these crosscutting concepts to develop understandings about organisms and population survival&mdash;patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; and structure and function.</p></div><div class="feature-description"><h2>Features</h2><p>FOSS Curriculum:</p> <ul> <li>Allows students to be active investigators instead of passive learners</li> <li>Is built around firsthand exploration of relevant phenomena using classroom-proven theories and practices to engage all students</li> <li>Aligned to NGSS, Framework for K to 12 Science, and Common Core standards</li> <li>Provides unmatched professional learning, including hands-on &amp; virtual teacher workshops</li></div><div class="in-box-description"><p>Resources available in this collection include:</p> <ul> <li>Comprehensive hands-on equipment kits made exclusively for FOSS</li> <li><strong><em>Investigations Guide </em></strong>(Teacher Edition Book) core instructional hardcover spiral-bound book provides educators with the support to successfully facilitate the investigations - available in print and digital</li> <li><strong><em>Teacher Resources</em></strong> with educative support to effectively teach standards - available in digital</li> <li><strong><em>FOSS Science Resources</em></strong> <strong><em>book</em></strong> (Student Edition Book) for students to build expository reading skills and highlight STEM careers - available in print and digital</li> <li>Accessibility options to the interactive digital resources on the ThinkLink&trade; platform for effective planning and engaged learning</li> <li>Spanish teaching and learning resources &ndash; available in print and digital</li> </ul></div>

FOSS Pathways Complete Grade Level Kit, Print/Digital, Grade 5, with 32 Seats Digital Access

<div class="long-description"><h2>Description</h2><p>The Mixtures and Solutions Module has four investigations that engage students with the phenomena of matter and its interactions in our everyday life—mixtures, solutions, solubility, concentration, and chemical reactions. Three anchor phenomena drive the investigations.</p><ul><li>Anchor phenomenon 1—change in pond water/impact of salt on pond life</li><li>Anchor phenomenon 2—identifying unknown substances</li><li>Anchor phenomenon 3—baking soda interactions</li><ul><p>Students construct models about matter made of particles too small to be seen and develop the understanding that matter is conserved when it changes state (from solid to liquid), when it dissolves in another substance, and when it is part of a chemical reaction. Students have experiences with mixtures, solutions of different concentrations, and reactions forming new substances. They also engage in engineering experiences using the properties of materials to design useful products. Learning about the properties and behaviors of substances and systems of substances develops their understanding about how things go together and how they can be taken apart. This gives them the opportunity to use and develop models that explain phenomena too small to see directly. Students gain experiences that will contribute to the understanding of the crosscutting concepts of patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; and energy and matter.</p><ul></div><div class="feature-description"><h2>Features</h2>FOSS Curriculum:<br><li>Allows students to be active investigators instead of passive learners</li><li>Is built around firsthand exploration of relevant phenomena using classroom-proven theories and practices to engage all students</li><li>Aligned to NGSS, Framework for K to 12 Science, and Common Core standards</li><li>Provides unmatched professional learning, including hands-on & virtual teacher workshops</li></div><div class="in-box-description"></ul> <p>Resources available in this collection include:</p> <ul> <li>Comprehensive hands-on equipment kits made exclusively for FOSS</li> <li><strong><em>Investigations Guide </em></strong>(Teacher Edition Book) core instructional hardcover spiral-bound book provides educators with the support to successfully facilitate the investigations - available in print and digital</li> <li><strong><em>Teacher Resources</em></strong> with educative support to effectively teach standards - available in digital</li> <li><strong><em>FOSS Science Resources</em></strong> <strong><em>book</em></strong> (Student Edition Book) for students to build expository reading skills and highlight STEM careers - available in print and digital</li> <li>Accessibility options to the interactive digital resources on the ThinkLink&trade; platform for effective planning and engaged learning</li> <li>Spanish teaching and learning resources &ndash; available in print and digital</li> </ul></div>

<div class="long-description"><h2>Description</h2><p>The Energy Module has four investigations that focus on the concepts that energy is present whenever there is motion, electric current, sound, light, or heat, and that energy can transfer from one place to other. Five anchor phenomena drive the investigations.</p> <ul> <li>Anchor phenomenon 1&mdash;solar lights working and not working</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 2&mdash;sending and receiving text messages</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 3&mdash;knocking down bowling pins</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 4&mdash;unable to see during power outage</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 5&mdash;moving up and down</li> </ul><br> <ul> <p>Students investigate electricity and magnetism as related effects and engage in engineering design to convert energy from one form to another. They gather information about how energy is derived from natural resources and how that affects the environment and explore alternative sources of energy such as solar energy. They investigate how the amount of energy transfer changes when balls of different masses hit a stationary object. Students explore energy transfer through waves (repeating patterns of motion) that result in sound and motion. Students interpret data to build explanations from evidence and make predictions of future events. They develop models to represent how energy moves from place to place in electric circuits and in waves. Students gain experiences that will contribute to the understanding of crosscutting concepts of patterns; cause and effect; systems and system models; and energy and matter.</p></div><div class="feature-description"><h2>Features</h2><p>FOSS Curriculum:</p> <ul> <li>Allows students to be active investigators instead of passive learners</li> <li>Is built around firsthand exploration of relevant phenomena using classroom-proven theories and practices to engage all students</li> <li>Aligned to NGSS, Framework for K to 12 Science, and Common Core standards</li> <li>Provides unmatched professional learning, including hands-on &amp; virtual teacher workshops</li></div><div class="in-box-description"></ul> <p>Resources available in this collection include:</p> <ul> <li>Comprehensive hands-on equipment kits made exclusively for FOSS</li> <li><strong><em>Investigations Guide </em></strong>(Teacher Edition Book) core instructional hardcover spiral-bound book provides educators with the support to successfully facilitate the investigations - available in print and digital</li> <li><strong><em>Teacher Resources</em></strong> with educative support to effectively teach standards - available in digital</li> <li><strong><em>FOSS Science Resources</em></strong> <strong><em>book</em></strong> (Student Edition Book) for students to build expository reading skills and highlight STEM careers - available in print and digital</li> <li>Accessibility options to the interactive digital resources on the ThinkLink&trade; platform for effective planning and engaged learning</li> <li>Spanish teaching and learning resources &ndash; available in print and digital</li> </ul></div>

<div class="long-description"><h2>Description</h2><p>Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It travels around the Sun in a nearly circular orbit at a distance of about 150 million kilometers. Earth is water rich, with 71% of the planet&rsquo;s surface covered with&nbsp;water. It is surrounded by a shallow atmosphere of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), and small amounts of a lot of other gases. Students investigate the patterns observed in the sky over a day, a month, a year, and more, and their effects on Earth. Four anchor phenomena drive the investigations.</p> <ul> <li>Anchor phenomenon 1&mdash;Hot sand and cool water</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 2&mdash;Water movement</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 3&mdash;In the shade then sunlight</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 4&mdash;One or many stars</li> </ul> <br> <ul> <p>The Earth and Sun Module provides students with experiences to explore the properties of the atmosphere, the energy transfer from the Sun to Earth, and the dynamics of weather and water cycling in Earth&rsquo;s atmosphere. The constant renewal of water on Earth&rsquo;s land surfaces by the activities in the atmosphere is one of the defining characteristics of Earth, the water planet. Other experiences help students to develop and use models to understand Earth&rsquo;s place in the solar system, and the interactions of Earth, the Sun, and the Moon to reveal predictable patterns&mdash;daily length and direction of shadows, day and night, and the seasonal appearance of stars in the night sky. Students gain experiences that will contribute to their understanding of the crosscutting concepts of patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; and energy and matter.</p></div><div class="feature-description"><h2>Features</h2><p>FOSS Curriculum:</p> <ul> <li>Allows students to be active investigators instead of passive learners</li> <li>Is built around firsthand exploration of relevant phenomena using classroom-proven theories and practices to engage all students</li> <li>Aligned to NGSS, Framework for K to 12 Science, and Common Core standards</li> <li>Provides unmatched professional learning, including hands-on &amp; virtual teacher workshops</li></ul></div><div class="in-box-description"><p>Resources available in this collection include:</p> <ul> <li>Comprehensive hands-on equipment kits made exclusively for FOSS</li> <li><strong><em>Investigations Guide </em></strong>(Teacher Edition Book) core instructional hardcover spiral-bound book provides educators with the support to successfully facilitate the investigations - available in print and digital</li> <li><strong><em>Teacher Resources</em></strong> with educative support to effectively teach standards - available in digital</li> <li><strong><em>FOSS Science Resources</em></strong> <strong><em>book</em></strong> (Student Edition Book) for students to build expository reading skills and highlight STEM careers - available in print and digital</li> <li>Accessibility options to the interactive digital resources on the ThinkLink&trade; platform for effective planning and engaged learning</li> <li>Spanish teaching and learning resources &ndash; available in print and digital</li> </ul></div>

<div class="long-description"><h2>Description</h2><p>This module provides grade 2 students with life science core ideas dealing with organisms, their interactions, and the diversity of habitats where they live. In order to provide young students with in-depth opportunities to experience biodiversity, they will become naturalists and study insects and plants in and out of their classroom.</p> <p>Students investigate three phenomena:</p> <ul> <li>Anchor phenomenon 1&mdash;Different insects in the park</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 2&mdash;Plants growing in sidewalk cracks</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 3&mdash;Bees and butterflies visiting flowers</li> </ul> <p>Students ask questions to find out about organisms based on firsthand observations with several organisms they observe over time in the classroom while using media to compare the organisms that live in different habitats. They plan and carry out investigations with beetles and butterflies to analyze and interpret data about an animal&rsquo;s needs in their habitat during different stages in their life. They grow a flowering plant in the classroom and use a simulation to test conditions needed for plant growth. They gain experience with the ways plants and insects interact in feeding relationships and pollination and how animals facilitate seed dispersal.</p> <p>Throughout the Insects and Plants Module, students develop and use models, plan and carry out investigations, and analyze data to answer questions and construct explanations. Students gain experiences that contribute to their understanding of the crosscutting concepts of patterns; cause and effect; systems and system models; and structure and function.</p></div><div class="feature-description"><h2>Features</h2><p>FOSS Curriculum:</p> <ul> <li>Allows students to be active investigators instead of passive learners</li> <li>Is built around firsthand exploration of relevant phenomena using classroom-proven theories and practices to engage all students</li> <li>Aligned to NGSS, Framework for K to 12 Science, and Common Core standards</li> <li>Provides unmatched professional learning, including hands-on &amp; virtual teacher workshops</li></ul></div><div class="in-box-description"><p>Resources available in this collection include:</p> <ul> <li>Comprehensive hands-on equipment kits made exclusively for FOSS</li> <li><strong><em>Investigations Guide </em></strong>(Teacher Edition Book) core instructional hardcover spiral-bound book provides educators with the support to successfully facilitate the investigations - available in print and digital</li> <li><strong><em>Teacher Resources</em></strong> with educative support to effectively teach standards - available in digital</li> <li><strong><em>FOSS Science Resources</em></strong> <strong><em>book</em></strong> (Student Edition Book) for students to build expository reading skills and highlight STEM careers - available in print and digital</li> <li>Accessibility options to the interactive digital resources on the ThinkLink&trade; platform for effective planning and engaged learning</li> <li>Spanish teaching and learning resources &ndash; available in print and digital</li> </ul></div>

<div class="long-description"><h2>Description</h2><p>The Materials and Forces Module provides kindergartners with integrated experiences with physical science, earth science, and engineering core ideas that relate to students&rsquo; interests. Students investigate that objects are made of materials&mdash;wood, paper, and fabric&mdash;and how material properties determine their use. Students use those materials to engineer structures, applying physical science ideas of energy transfer. Students investigate the source of natural materials and how they can be reused and recycled. Students come to understand that humans use natural resources for everything they do and that people impact the world around them. Students investigate these phenomena and related problem:</p> <p><br />&bull; Anchor phenomenon 1&mdash;Snacks getting hot on the playground<br />&bull; Anchor problem 2&mdash;Keeping snacks and water cool<br />&bull; Anchor phenomenon 3&mdash;Changes to the environment<br />&bull; Anchor phenomenon 4&mdash;Balls roll in different directions</p> <p>After building a repertoire of practices with natural materials students use some of those materials to investigate the effect of pushes and pulls on objects, and apply their intuitive notion of the concept of variables to change the speed and direction of rolling balls to achieve specific outcomes.</p> <p>Students engage in science and engineering practices by asking questions, participating in collaborative investigations, observing, recording, and interpreting data to build explanations, and designing objects and systems to achieve outcomes. Students gain experiences with crosscutting concepts: patterns, cause and effect, and systems and system models.</p></div><div class="feature-description"><h2>Features</h2><p>FOSS Curriculum:</p> <ul> <li>Allows students to be active investigators instead of passive learners</li> <li>Is built around firsthand exploration of relevant phenomena using classroom-proven theories and practices to engage all students</li> <li>Aligned to NGSS, Framework for K to 12 Science, and Common Core standards</li> <li>Provides unmatched professional learning, including hands-on &amp; virtual teacher workshops</li></div><div class="in-box-description"><p>Resources available in this collection include:</p> <ul> <li>Comprehensive hands-on equipment kits made exclusively for FOSS</li> <li><strong><em>Investigations Guide </em></strong>(Teacher Edition Book) core instructional hardcover spiral-bound book provides educators with the support to successfully facilitate the investigations - available in print and digital</li> <li><strong><em>Teacher Resources</em></strong> with educative support to effectively teach standards - available in digital</li> <li><strong><em>FOSS Science Resources</em></strong> <strong><em>book</em></strong> (Student Edition Book) for students to build expository reading skills and highlight STEM careers - available in print and digital</li> <li>Accessibility options to the interactive digital resources on the ThinkLink&trade; platform for effective planning and engaged learning</li> <li>Spanish teaching and learning resources &ndash; available in print and digital</li> </ul></div>
