Directions: Use this template to keep track of students' permission slips/payments, organize tasks, create field trip groups, and track chaperones for field trips. You can link important documents under "links" by selecting the box, pressing the link icon, and pasting the link to the document in the URL bar. I recommend copying your rosters by homeroom to this spreadsheet. Mark an "X" next to the names of students when they turn in a permission slip, have paid the field trip fee, and if they req

Printable slides for creating a word wall bulletin board for the Body Systems Unit with 41 SEPUP/LabAids vocabulary terms.

The Big Science Ideas covered in this unit include topics of force, movement, weight, and friction. At the beginning of the unit, the class will learn about motion as it is caused by a force, also known as a push or a pull. With this information, the unit will factor in different variables that have the potential to affect the way in which an object moves. In the following lessons, students will recognize that weight and friction have the potential to alter motion. For instance, the heavier an

This unit was designed with an explicit emphasis on hands-on exploration of phenomena. This unit is meant to be taught through hands-on exploration, questioning, and collaborative conversations. The first 3 lessons focus on explicit instruction in which students will be able to understand the effect of force, weight, and friction on motion. The latter 3 lessons focus on the Engineer Design Process in which students will apply their knowledge of force, weight, and friction in the building of thei

The unit centers around the exploration of physics, specifically, forces and motion in which students engage with phenomena that explore what kind of factors influence the way objects move. Physical science like this can be difficult for students to understand because most of the science that is causing these things to occur is not visible, such as potential and kinetic energy, gravity, etc.. For this reason, the lessons focus on aspects of motion that are observable and more tangible than the c
