Teachers,
For the remainder of the year you will be having students do project-based learning with Science and Math integration. Below are three Science Themes you can explore, the SLE’s, EQ’s, vocabulary, resources, and Math Connections. Feel free to do more than one.
HAVE FUN WITH THIS!!!
Weather
Science SLE’s: / Resources:
PS.7.3.2 Calculate a change in temperature using the Celsius scale.
ESS.8.3.9 Demonstrate safety procedures related to severe weather.
ESS.9.3.1 Analyze the effect of wind and water on Earth’s surface.
ESS.8.3.8 Chart precipitation levels over time.
NS.1.3.7 Make and explain predictions based on prior knowledge.
NS.1.3.1 Communicate observations orally, in writing, and in graphic organizers: T-charts, pictographs, Venn diagrams, bar graphs, frequency tables.
NS.1.3.9 Apply lab safety rules as they relate to specific science lab activities. / http://www.teachervision.fen.com/weather/lesson-plan/4131.html?detoured=1
