GRADES 5 & 6 FORCES ACTING ON STRUCTURES & FLIGHT BUNDLE - 2022 ONTARIO SCIENCE

Trying to teach GRADE 5 FORCES ACTING ON STRUCTURES AND GRADE 6 FLIGHT to a split/combined grade 5/6 class? This Hands-On, Minds-On Science and Technology resource contains everything you need to introduce, engage and assess your students in learning about these topics from the 2022 Ontario Curriculum Science and Technology. Grade 5 students will analyse social and environmental impacts of forces acting on structures, and assess ways to mitigate these impacts as well as analyse the effects of forces from natural phenomena on structures in natural and built environments. Grade 6 students will discover that flight occurs when the characteristics of structures take advantage of certain properties of air. They will then apply their newly acquired knowledge to design and test a flying device. Included are vocabulary/concepts building activity, educational science and technology concepts posters, topic/concepts readings, hand-on activities/experiments/investigations and an assessment of learning test for each grade.

These resources align with the expectations for:

Grade 5: FORCES ACTING ON STRUCTURES – { Strand D: 2022 Ontario Curriculum}

Grade 6: FLIGHT – {Strand D: 2022 Ontario Curriculum}

➜The use of a word wall in a classroom can be a highly effective teaching strategy to improve literacy skills. Word wall activities encourage active student participation. Gestures, such as pointing to key words during a lesson, offer visual reinforcement which can be very helpful for students.

Three words/phrases are on each page, and can be cut apart and introduced as new vocabulary is encountered or they can be projected at the beginning of the unit while students follow along and fill in the blanks.
