Designed to use when teaching adults preparing for their high school equivalency exam, the resource integrates reading practice, writing, and analytical thinking in every lesson. The unit covers 23 topics, but it only includes three complete sets of lesson plans—conservation of matter, the scale of the universe, and atomic theory. The framework contains key questions, text, and math connections for the other topics so instructors can tailor the material to their classrooms.
