What's Included?

4 complete science units, 4 complete HASS units, and 4 complete health units, all designed specifically with Foundation in mind!

Each unit contains 10 easy read lesson plans (8 in health units), follow up worksheets for each lesson, optional assessment task, rubric and digital and printable activities!

SCIENCE

DISTANCE LEARNING: Each of my science units now contain a 'Home Connections' document to enable you to continue to teach science units during 'at home' learning time. Each of these documents include a learning log cover page, adapted activities, simplified lesson plans, adapted activity sheets, printable books and posters and charts. These lessons have been designed so that they align perfectly with the original units, meaning that if you return to classroom teaching half-way through the unit, you can continue your learning using either resource.
