Scientific Skills
Observation vs Inference
Students distinguish observations from inferences and use evidence to revise a scientific explanation.
Teacher lesson guides
Plan a science lesson before you launch it.
Teacher-facing Osmia Learning lesson guides with grade bands, classroom goals, activity mechanics, and links to free interactive science lessons.
Scientific Skills
Variables and Fair Tests
Students identify independent, dependent, and controlled variables while designing a fair experiment.
Scientific Skills
Case Closed
Students connect claims, evidence, and reasoning in a scientific explanation.
Scientific Skills
Repeat the Test
Students explain why precise procedures matter and revise steps so an investigation can be replicated.
Scientific Skills
Lab Safety
Students choose safe lab behaviors, protective equipment, and emergency responses based on the situation.
Ecology
Kelp Forest Collapse
Students trace energy and population effects through a food web to explain a trophic cascade.
Cell Biology
Photosynthesis Mission
Students explain that carbon dioxide provides carbon atoms plants use to build glucose and plant biomass.
Genetics
DNA Structure and Replication
Students model DNA structure and explain how base-pairing rules help DNA copy itself.
Cell Biology and Genetics
DNA to RNA to Protein
Students explain the path from DNA instructions to mRNA messages to protein products.
Genetics
Mendel's Pea Plant Mystery
Students distinguish genotype from phenotype and use a Punnett square to model inheritance probability.
