Sample Unit

Not all curriculum comes from a textbook. I work in a district with no science text, but my students (fifth graders) are tested on this subject by the state. I have a number of resources (workbooks, science kits, online resources), but I have to bring it all together into a coherent whole.

Here is what I did on the Water Cycle and Weather as part of an Earth Science unit:

Earth Science Unit Planner First, I created a planner with objectives and the instructional tools I would use.

Water Cycle Organizer Next, I created this graphic organizer in Inspiration to guide my discussions with students and provide study notes at the end of the unit.

And this slideshow introduces concepts to students, and is kept online for them to review:

In addition, students viewed content based “cartoons” on BrainPop (which include quizzes at the end of each show), reading and worksheets, and hands on experiments.
