Description
Ready to hit the ground running on day one? This 5-day "Unit 0" gets your biology students prepped on the science skills they'll lean on all year, before you even start with biology content.
No syllabus-reading, no rules-lecture snoozefest. Instead, students dive into the nature of science, lab safety, data analysis, and claim-evidence-reasoning (CER) through activities that reflect the skills and procedures they will use all year in your biology class.
What's included:
- Full teacher unit plan with pacing guide and standards alignment
- Day-by-day lesson plans (2-3 pages each) with teacher prep notes, materials lists, and minute-by-minute breakdowns
- Text editable PPTs
- Differentiated Cornell notes (Honors, Academic, Scaffolded)
- 3-level "Is a Virus Alive?" reading (Honors, Academic, Scaffolded/ELL-friendly)
- Full station materials for lab safety, scientific process, CER, data analysis, and graphing practice stations
- Station data sets and instructions
- Links to free companion resources (lab safety contract, "What Is Science" posters, asteroid/dinosaur reading)
Standards: Aligned to NGSS science & engineering practices and crosscutting concepts
Perfect for Biology teachers who:
- want a no-prep first week that actually builds the skills students need for the rest of the year
- don't want to talk AT students the first week of school
- want to get students thinking like scientists right away
