[[https://sciren.org/|SciREN]] is a non-profit organization that connects educators with researchers. Our focus is in helping researchers develop lesson plans that incorporate their own cutting-edge research into K-12 lesson plans that meet Georgia Science Standards. This website serves as the lesson plan repository for SciREN Georgia. {{ :georgia:stem_by_sciren.png?400 |}} ;#; Visit our webpage https://sciren.org/networking-events/sciren-georgia/ ;#; ;#; Any questions, issues, or comments can be sent to sciren.georgia@gmail.com ;#; **Instructions** * **Filter** by grade level or Georgia Standards of Excellence by typing them into the search to the top right of the table * **Sort** columns by clicking on the column header * **Search** by keywords with this form: {searchform} **If you use any lesson plans, please fill out [[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfu3dAIAm03bwqWq9mPVikT6cqvf-4U8-d2kLRP4jaw5j4eEA/viewform|this survey]].** ===== SciREN Georgia Lesson Plan Portal ===== ^ Title ^ Author ^ Grade Levels ^ Key Words ^ Georgia Standards of Excellence | |[[What do animals and plants need to survive?]]|Christina Endara|1|basic survival needs, animals, plants|S1L1| |[[Redefining Life with Synthetic Biology]]|Joshua Weiss|9-12, adaptable to 6-8|synthetic biology, bioethics, genetic engineering|SB1c, SB2a, SMI7d| |[[Modeling and Extracting Genetic Information]]|Adrianna White|7,9-12|DNA structure, biomedical applications, base pairing rules|SB2a,b,c,aspects of SB3, S7L3a| |[[Environmental Decision Making Host plants and Pollinators]]|Charlotte Hovland|7|insect-plant relationships, butterflies, life cycle|S7L4| |[[Evolution of Leglessness in Scaled Lizards]]| Carter Coleman|7, Biology |evolution, convergent evolution, phylogenetic tree, reptile, biology, taxa, adaptation |S7L5| |[[Importance of Cells of Immune Systems]]|YuJie Chen|7|cell, immune system, antibody, bacteria, virus, pathogen, response|S7L2| |[[The Power of Plants and Demystifying DNA]]| Hallie Wright| K-2, 7, 9-12| environment, plants, genetics, biology, DNA, scientific communication | SKE1, SKE2, SKL2, MGSEK.MD1, MGSEK.MD2, MGSEK.G.1, MGSEK.CC6, S1E1, S1L1, MGSE1.MD.4, MGSE1.MD.1, MGSE1.MD.2, S2E3, S2L1, MGSE2.MD.10, MGSE1.MD.1, MGSE2.MD.2, MGSE2.MD.3, MGSE2.MD.4, MGSE2.MD.9, S7L3, S7L4, S7L5, MGSE7.RP.1, MGSE7.RP.2a, SB2, SB3, SB5, SB6, MGSE9-12.N.Q.1, MGSE9-12.N.Q.2, MGSE9-12.N.Q.3, MGSE9-12.A.CED.1, MGSE9-12.A.REI.10| |[[Plants and Drought Adaptation]]|Sarah Forget|7, Biology, Environmental Science| plants, drought, response, multi-celled organism, temperature, pH, environment |S7L1, S7L4, SB4, SEV1| |[[Lifecycle of a Chicken]]|Marie Bosch|2|lifecycle, egg, cell, nourishment, complexity, active learning| S2L1| |[[Global Amphibian Decline Case Study]]|Julie Ziemba|7, 8, Biology, Environmental Science| biodiversity, stressor, conservation, mitigation, biology, ecology, ecosystem| S7L4a, S7L4c| |[[Life's Little Complexities]]|Jennifer Jenkins|7|multicellular organism, animals, regeneration, healing, cell, tissues, organs, organ systems|S7L2b, S7L2c| |[[Measuring Air Pollution]]|Davis Reardon|9-12|indoor, outdoor, air pollution, exposure, source|SEV4, SEV3| |[[Helpful and Harmful Microbes]]|Jolene Garber|5|microbes, microorganisms, virus, bacteria, algae, single celled organisms|S5L4, VA5.CR2, VA5.CR4| |[[What's in the Water?
