Additional Prerequisites

• Teachers and students will need Internet access and users must make a copy of the Google Slides file to make edits.
• The video transcripts can be used for hearing-impaired students.
  

Differentiation

• Many aspects of scientific research are mentioned, so teachers can have students work in small groups to take notes and present summaries of each informational video.
• Counselors and advisory teachers can utilize this resource when discussing careers in science.
• Discussion questions are included, so teachers can use the questions as mini-assessments or have students discuss them in groups.
• Science classes can use this resource for green career conversations or to connect to topics such as photosynthesis, carbon cycling, nutrient cycling, ecosystems, and cellular respiration.
