Introduction to Plate Tectonics
This resource is intended to use for Tier I classroom instruction.
Classification of Organisms
This resource provides flexible alternate or additional learning opportunities for students to identify the characteristics of organisms that classify them into currently recognized Kingdoms, Sixth Grade Science TEKS (6)(12)(D).
Energy Transformations
A Tier I resource for TEKS (6)(9)(C), energy transformations.
Potential and Kinetic Energy
This resource provides Tier I instruction ideas for Grade 6+ science teachers in the area of potential and kinetic energy.
Gravity
Using interactives, students will demonstrate that gravity is the force that governs the motion of our solar system.
Matter and Energy - Elements versus Compounds
Given illustrations or descriptions, students will differentiate between elements and compounds.
Potential and Kinetic Energy
Given descriptions, illustrations, or scenarios, students will compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy.
Energy Transformation
Given descriptions, illustrations, or scenarios, students will identify energy transformations, such as how energy in a flashlight battery changes from chemical energy to electric energy to light energy.
Average Speed
Given diagrams, data, or scenarios, students will calculate average speed using distance and time measurements.
Matter and Energy - Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids
Given illustrations or descriptions, students will compare metals, nonmetals, and metalloids using physical properties such as luster, conductivity, or malleability.
Matter and Energy—Chemical Reactions
Given descriptions or illustrations, students will investigate how evidence of chemical reactions indicates that new substances with different properties are formed.
Changes in Motion
Given diagrams or scenarios, students will measure and graph changes in motion.
Changes in Speed and Direction
Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, charts, or equations, students will demonstrate and calculate how unbalanced forces change the speed or direction of an objects motion.
Plate Tectonics
Given diagrams, scenarios, descriptions, and illustrations, students will identify the historical development and evidence that supports plate tectonic theory and relate plate tectonics to the formation of crustal features.
Introduction to Section 11

Introduction to Section 12
Lesson 12.1: College and Career Readiness
This resource describes various aspects of career and college readiness, starting with the definitions and standards and then covering career preparation and practicum teachers are in an excellent position to help students develop their career goals.
Lesson 12.2: Post-Secondary Opportunities
This resource introduces the most common post-secondary opportunities, and explores the role of the work-based learning (WBL) instructor in assisting students in evaluating their options and planning their next steps after high school.
Lesson 12.3: WBL Activities for Students
This resource describes six recommended activities that work-based learning (WBL) teachers can incorporate into classroom lessons to help students prepare for life beyond high school.
