3) Supplementary resource links are great for sub days, additional exploration, or struggling students.

4) Colorful, animated PowerPoints have bolded terms that match the fill-in-the-blank Cornell Notes for error-proof student notes.

5) Doodle Notes provide additional methods for summarizing and note-taking in a highly visual and aesthetic format.

6) Thorough teacher instructions and student examples are included for new teachers, but it’s still easy for experienced teachers to add in old favorites!

7) Editable PowerPoints, Cornell Notes, practice pages, and assessments make it quick and easy for you to add or remove content to fit your standards and the needs of your class.

 

➤What topics are included in this unit?

• Nature of Science and Scientific Processes (hypotheses, independent variable, dependent variable, graphing, theories, laws, peer review)
• Measurement (metric system, converting metric measurements)
• Dimensional Analysis
• Scientific Notation (basics & calculations)
• Significant Figures

 

The unit is aligned to NGSS practices and many state standards. If you’d like to know whether your state standards are covered, you can send me an email at su*****@*************ce.com.

 

➤What textbook can I use with this unit?

This unit is comprehensive enough to stand on its own without a textbook. If you prefer to use one, you can contact me for textbook suggestions at su*****@*************ce.com.

➤Can I edit these resources to fit my needs?

Some of the files in this unit are editable. The text on the PowerPoints, Cornell Notes, and task cards is all editable so you can adjust the level of content and wording. The pacing guide, some practice pages, quizzes, and tests are all fully editable. Labs, activities, extension pages, and any images included in this unit are in non-editable PDF formats to protect my intellectual property rights and those of the illustrators whose images I’ve purchased for use in this resource.
