This is a ONE PASSAGE SAMPLE. The following is the description of the FULL resource and the downloading links: Water Cycle, Acid Rain, & Wastewater: Reading Comprehension Passages (PDF) This very engaging collection of environmental science reading passages about Water Cycle, Acid Rain, & Wastewater is designed to bridge the gap between science and literacy through strengthening reading comprehension and sparking scientific curiosity in middle school students. Each passage blends English Language Arts skills with accurate science content that supports NGSS classroom practice. Ideal for interdisciplinary learning in ELA and Science. Suitable for Grade 9 review, too! What Is Included? There are (3) informational passages: Wastewater: From Drain to Clean Follow water from your sink to the treatment plant as screens pull out debris, grit settles, microbes break down leftovers, and disinfection makes the water safe to release or reuse. The Water Cycle: The Engine of Our Planet Watch water move through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff, with plants and soils helping store and move it. See how this cycle powers weather and refills rivers and aquifers. Acid Rain: Causes, Impacts, and Solutions Learn how certain air pollutants turn rain more acidic, what that means for lakes, forests, and buildings, and how cleaner energy and emission controls help damaged ecosystems recover. Student Tasks for Each Passage: 5 multiple-choice questions targeting main idea, key details, inference, vocabulary in context, and use of evidence 5 vocabulary matching items with clear, student-friendly definitions 5 text-based questions that require citing specific lines or facts 1 summary prompt that asks students to condense central ideas accurately Full answer key for every section Available Formats for this Resource Word Docs Google Docs FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOADING LINKS HERE Other Science Reading Collections and Topics You May Find in the Store: 1.
