This story is about Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen and his discovery of X-rays. The story is available in 3 Lexile levels (850L, 1050L & 1200L) great for a variety of young readers and it engages them to learn about science through a story rather than yet another YouTube video, but something a bit different and enjoyable for students! This science story provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It can be used in a variety of ways as mentioned below! Each story includes at least 4 images to bring a bit more entertainment and engagement. WHY / WHEN TO USE: You could ask them to summarize it. Ask students to define key terms in their own words. Can they connect the story to the modern world? What connections can they see? How short can they make the story and retain coherence? Can they make what if this concept or technology was not discovered? What would we lose? Link to other activities or as a primer to engage with a related topic. To increase scientific literacy in your class. A weekly reading task. Useful for substitute (sub) teaching. It provides rapid and easy differentiation for different reading levels. WHAT’S INCLUDED: 3 - 4 page story at Lexile level 850L 3 - 4 page story at Lexile level 1050L 3 - 4 page story at Lexile level 1200L More will be coming to cover other subjects and other topics, so please do keep an eye out for more science articles from The Teaching Astrophysicist!

This is a unit plan for the IB MYP based on sustainable housing that also relates the NGSS and how that can be taught / covered at the same time as teaching this unit. Students will use research to help them formulate design ideas, which will culminate in a design for a sustainable home (created as a 3D model using software of their choice). A successful final product requires a 3D walkthrough for the client to visualise and understand how the final design works. What features and deisgn considerations make this a sustainable home? Consider broadly all possible aspects of this endeavour, the sourcing of environmentally materials from sustainable sources, consider the market for this house and why people would buy it rather than a traditionally built home? Why are these commercially viable? What other considerations must we make? (Criteria A, B, C & D) This unit also helps introduce the GRASPS technique to conduct assessments and students to grapple with almost any assessment that comes to them.
