Space is the unit where abstract ideas are hardest to pin down, so these lessons lean on models and diagrams. They cover the solar system and its planets, gravity and how it holds the system together, rotation and revolution, the seasons and Earth's tilt, phases of the moon, solar and lunar eclipses, tides, what makes Earth the Goldilocks planet, and space exploration.
My students and I love these interactive assignments! I use the digital versions and they are so easy to assign to my students to review topics that we are covering in class. They are so in depth without being too overwhelming and are perfect for my 6th graders. Thank you so much for this time saving resource!!!!
The seasons lesson works whole-class, as a station or as independent work, and there is an online simulation worksheet to go with it. Anchor charts and task cards round the unit out. Interactive lessons come as Google Slides™ and PowerPoint with guided notes and answer keys, and the whole unit is available as one bundle.
