What educators are saying
Description
This curriculum includes 20 full units of study in Life, Earth, and Physical Science for students in grades 5-10. Each unit contains a slideshow road map that delivers a truly interactive science experience. Students follow the slideshow with a printed or digital work bundle that chronologically follows daily lessons. As the teacher advances through the slideshow, students fill-in critical class notes (red colored slides), answer questions, complete diagrams, takes built-in quizzes, and much more. Exciting activities are spread throughout, and visuals in the slideshow and work bundle make set-up, and follow-up questions a snap. Lesson planning just becomes staying ahead of the class with a simple materials list. The slideshows and work bundle are designed to work together, and keeps the learning organized. Students quickly learn how the lessons run and fall into a productive routine. Besides exciting and meaningful activities, units have built-in quizzes, review games / assessments, amazing video links, step by step diagrams, graphing exercises, fun projects, answer keys, crosswords, flashcards, rubrics, self-reflection, and much more. Everything you will ever need to run an amazing four years of science is included.
The entire curriculum arrives in editable .doc or pptx. and updated every year on TpT. This curriculum contains 792 lessons of about 50 minutes, and over a thousand pages of corresponding work bundle. The layout of slides, highly visual mode of learning, color coding of text, one step at a time approach, and a constant built-in review keeps the students focused and motivated to excel. The students even find the end of the Part Assessment / Review Game a ton of fun. The corresponding visuals between the slideshow and work bundle allow the student to know exactly where they need to be. It's a low stress, but highly organized learning experience for everyone, and one that will engage your brightest, and struggling students alike. Every lesson and work bundle can easily be converted to a Google slideshow or Google .doc. Please view the positive feedback below and visit the curriculum tour link to learn more about this one of a kind curriculum.
This curriculum is over 19GB and thus too large for the TpT uploader. Upon purchase you will receive a link to download the curriculum through Dropbox. Just click the link to download the the fully editable curriculum. You will have access to these links and any updates in the curriculum through your purchase on TpT whenever you wish.
