This unit bundle PDF includes: 1. Foldable: What is Inside the Earth? This foldable shows the layers of the earth with a facts list. Students can color code the layers and the facts chart for a great visual. The PowerPoint shows the KEY which makes it easy to teach and discuss while students fill in the blanks. Black and white student copy and KEY included. 2. Foldable: Understanding Density It is important to help students realize that the most dense materials of the earth are in the middle. The greatest pressure is also found in the center. The PowerPoint shows the KEY which makes it easy to teach and discuss while students fill in the blanks. Black and white student copy and KEY included. 3. Vocabulary Set There are a variety of ways to use these. There are several versions for differeniated abilities. For slow learners, you can give them the sheet with the definitions already written out, and for other students, give them the blank sheet included in the unit. The powerpoint has each word displayed with the definition and a colored drawing to help the student fill out their sheets. These are a great study guide for weekly warm-up and task cards activities. Black and white and color keys included in full and partial sets for slower learners 4. PowerPoint The PowerPoint is used to introduce the unit and help students fill out their vocabulary sheets and foldables. Keys to the vocabulary sheets and foldables are shown in the slides. Give students vocabulary sheets and blank foldables before presenting it to the class. It has a 10 question quiz at the end to check for understanding. The PowerPoint is not found in this PDF file but is included in the main unit bundle folder. 5. Task Cards My room is not set up to put all the students in a circle, so we go in the hallway to do this Copyright © 2014 Science Doodles activity. I have the students bring their blank answer form into the hallway with a pencil. I usually make them sit boy/girl/boy to keep them better behaved. I pass out the cards in order of the numbers. (This is important for order.) Give the first student number 1 and then number 2 next and so on. I stand in the middle of the circle and hold a bell. I tell the students to all answer their card and quietly hold it up in front of their face when they are finished and ready for the next question. I ring the bell and they all pass their cards to the next person. I watch them and ring the bell when I notice they are ready. They all answer the next card and pass it on only when the bell sounds. At the end of the activity, we go back in the room and I put up the answer key on the overhead. They check and grade them. I call out card numbers and if anyone missed a question, I read it in class and we discuss it. I call on someone who got it right to explain it. I LOVE task card activities. It is a great way to check for understanding before the test. I have found that my students do much better on the test after going through this activity. They like doing them, too. One teacher I know uses them as a station or in pairs. Another option is to put each card under the projector, one at a time. The students answer each question and grade and turn in their answer sheets. Key included 6. Science Weekly Warm-up This year my classes are very short and I don’t have a lot of time for warm-up, but I want the students to come in my class, be quiet, and gear up their brains for science. This is a quick, easy tool to do just that. I really love how it is quick and simple and we can get right to the lesson. I take them up Friday for a daily grade. Another option is use them for an exit ticket quiz or homework assignment. Key included 7. Everything I Learned This Year Glue-in This is a list of all the concept topics that we will cover this year in science. I will offer a bundle on each of the concepts. You can have your students glue the list to the inside front cover of their interactive notebooks. My students check off each concept as we learn it. I include an editable copy for teachers that want to customize this. The font used is KG Turning Tables Copyright © 2014 Science Doodles Also included in folder: Movie for Printing and Folding Foldables The best way to print the foldables is to watch the movie before going to the printer so you can know the orientation of how to print them front to back. After printing the foldables correctly, either show the videos to the students or instruct students how to fold the foldables. My students love to watch them and see if they can get it. Replay several times if necessary. PowerPoint Great overview of unit with vocabulary and foldable KEYS and a short quiz at the end. More Science Doodles A look at more Science Doodles I offer!
