It includes enduring understandings, essential questions, guiding questions, student outcomes, relevant unit sections, and key vocabulary terms all in one condensed document (2 pages). Finally, this document features several pages of key vocabulary terms alongside their definitions, in alphabetical order.

How I Use This Product:

I typically hand out Pages 1-2 of this unit overview document to my students on the first day of a new topic. I usually photocopy it on a brightly-colored piece of paper so that the page provides a nice delineation point in their binders or folders that visually separates the different science units I teach from one another. In addition, I upload the vocabulary pages to Google Drive folder for that unit so that my students can have access to it throughout the course of study.
