Grade 8 Science Module Teacher's Manual ((LINK))
Each module in grades K-2 is comprised of two one-hour blocks of content-based literacy (Module Lessons and K-2 Labs) and the third hour of structured phonics (K-2 Reading Foundations Skills Block). Together, these three hours of curriculum teach and formally assess all strands of the Language Arts standards for each grade level.

Each module in our grades 3-5 second edition curriculum consists of two one-hour blocks of content-based literacy instruction. Together, these two hours of curriculum teach and formally assess all strands of the Language Arts standards for each grade level.
Each module in our grades 6-8 second edition curriculum consists of a 45-minute block of content-based literacy instruction. Built to the needs of middle school learners, our new block teaches and assesses all of the Language Arts standards for each grade level.
Resources for Teaching Middle School Science, developed by the National Science Resources Center (NSRC), is a valuable tool for identifying and selecting effective science curriculum materials that will engage students in grades 6 through 8. The volume describes more than 400 curriculum titles that are aligned with the National Science Education Standards.
Interested in engaging your students with real-time NOAA data? In this module, designed for grades 6-8, students engage with an interactive graphing tool to explore parameters such as nutrients, temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and in some cases, contaminants. Students are guided through the use of these data to understand relationships between parameters, and the effect that water quality has on estuarine organisms. The module offers lessons at five different levels, beginning with basic graph interpretation (Levels 1 & 2) and building towards activities that challenge students to ask questions and develop their own data investigations (Levels 4 & 5)
The 2014-2015 school year was another time of transition for the Missouri Assessment Program. Grade-Level assessments in English language arts and mathematics at grades 3-8 and science in grades 5 and 8 were administered fully online for the first time.
Why teach about estuaries? This suite of estuary education resources help educators bring estuarine science into the classroom through hands-on learning, experiments, fieldwork, and data explorations. These specially designed lessons, activities, data explorations, animations and videos can be used independently or as a supplement to existing curricula and can be adapted to meet any grade level.
Co-developed by teachers and scientists, The Great Diseases curriculum provides a biological framework for students to learn high school biology in a more relevant and immediate context. The curriculum was designed for high school science classrooms, but can be adapted for different courses, including General Biology, Honors Biology, CP Biology, Elective Biology, AP Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Health Science, Pathophysiology, Biomedical Science, and Introductory College Courses. Each module includes teacher manuals with learning objectives, key discussion points, and activity guidance, as well as 135+ ready-to-teach lessons, comprising of PowerPoint slides, lesson plans, student worksheets, labs, games, and case studies. A full module runs for 6-8 weeks of classroom time. Explore our modules below, and request access here. 041b061a72
