Description
Scientists and the scientific method, science processes-This bundle includes everything you need to teach, practice, experiment, and assess 8-11 days of NGSS aligned lessons, depending on the number of experiments you do. All of the activities are included in both a printable version and in digital format on Google Slides.
An ideal way to introduce science and scientific processes, students learn about different areas of science, types of scientists, scientific processes and the scientific method. Students also learn about science tools, science safety, and how to plan an investigation and carry out experiments.
Investigations include: buoyancy, solubility, and chemical reactions and serve as a scaffold to students planning and conducting their own experiments as they gain lab experience.
Lesson topics:
- types of scientists
- jobs scientists do
- areas of science
- inquiry
- scientific processes
- investigating buoyancy
- investigating solubility
- investigating chemical reactions
- the scientific method
- science safety
- science tools
The detailed lesson plans and narrated audio lessons make it easy to differentiate and enable your students to listen and learn while working independently at home, or at school. The moveable, interactive digital activities make it easy and engaging for students to practice and apply what they are learning.
Both print and digital units are included in this bundle. You will need a Google account or Google Classroom to access the activities on Google Slides.
Printable unit includes:
- A complete Teacher’s Guide with Unit Overview and Pacing Guide
- 10 detailed, step-by-step, scripted lesson plans
- 10-Lesson Teaching Power Point to guide you through the unit with Turn and Talk partner discussion and Independent Activity instructions for students after each lesson.
- Answer keys
- Essential Question and Learning Target Posters
- Student science journal with activity pages for each lesson
- Quick Check/Exit Tickets in 2 formats for each lesson (short written response or fill in the blank)
- Final Assessment with optional pages for differentiation
- Science center activities with student direction cards

"This is a GEM of a resource for my second graders! I was looking for lessons to teach about scientists, science processes, and the scientific method, and what I got was so much more! This product is extremely thorough, organized, well-planned, and easy to implement. Everything is included for you. You literally print, or assign the Google format, and teach! "-Dana H
