The idea
Each unit is an arrangement of photos you already have — not new content. An ordered storyline of SIAS gallery images drives a six-week arc: every lesson pairs a real photograph (reasoning / test-rehearsal) with a hands-on lab, building toward a consensus model and a transfer task on a novel image. Every reporting Performance Expectation across grades K–5 is covered — the grades 3–5 units rehearse the tested standards on the Arkansas ATLAS blueprint, while K–2 lays the foundation — and every unit is backed by real gallery photography.
