"I got this resource for my students to give them a break from the usual note taking. It was a nice debate and many of the students made connections with the animations on the notes. They would draw the image on their test next to their answers. Great way for them to recall the information."

"The slides were comprehensive and the accompanying note sheets summarized everything very well. Fits well with the BC Science 9 Earth Science unit!"

I got this resource for my students to give them a break from the usual note taking. It was a nice debate and many of the students made connections with the animations on the notes. They would draw the image on their test next to their answers. Great way for them to recall the information.
I absolutely loved this resource! It was engaging, easy to follow, and perfectly aligned with the curriculum. My students really enjoyed the activities, and I saw noticeable improvement in their understanding of the topic. The clear instructions and variety of materials saved me so much time in planning. I highly recommend this to other teachers looking for a high-quality, ready-to-use resource!"
The slides were comprehensive and the accompanying note sheets summarized everything very well. Fits well with the BC Science 9 Earth Science unit!
Really beautiful notes and presentation. Used for BC Earth Science 9 unit. I just wish that they were editable, as they don't fully align with the BC Connections 9 textbook, and I would have loved to shuffle some things around. Really cute and engaging notes, regardless.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I really appreciate hearing what I can do to improve the usability.
We don't use the BC Connections 9 text at our school, but I have a copy & will take a look over the summer & see what I can adjust. The next time I revise this unit it will include editable slides, Cornell style notes, and a Unit Test as well.

NGSSMS-LS2-2
Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems. Emphasis is on predicting consistent patterns of interactions in different ecosystems in terms of the relationships among and between organisms and abiotic components of ecosystems. Examples of types of interactions could include competitive, predatory, and mutually beneficial.
NGSSMS-LS2-3
Develop a model to describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy among living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem. Emphasis is on describing the conservation of matter and flow of energy into and out of various ecosystems, and on defining the boundaries of the system. Assessment does not include the use of chemical reactions to describe the processes.
NGSSMS-LS2-4
Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations. Emphasis is on recognizing patterns in data and making warranted inferences about changes in populations, and on evaluating empirical evidence supporting arguments about changes to ecosystems.
