Science Coloring Pages: Common Frog
Creative Arts, Art, Science, Life Sciences, Animals, Kindergarten, Preschool, Activities

Science Coloring Pages: Common Frog Here is an original drawing of a Common Frog for young children to colour. The study of the natural world is the foundation for the later study of science. The colouring of pictures of natural things, be it plants or animals is more than a pastime activity. It is a means of familiarising young children with these everyday subjects. The colouring of this Common Frog picture can of course be used as a pastime, or even as part of a creative lesson - the picture looks super framed - but it has the potential to teach much more. The UK National Curriculum for Science expects children to be taught to use the local environment to study plants and animals, throughout the year. What better than to use familiar subjects, such as the Common Frog, which is a familiar subject in springtime, to teach much about the natural world? Colouring can help children to become familiar with the parts of the Common Frog: ask questions: What colour are the legs? Can you see the stripes? How many legs does the frog have? Colouring a picture of the Common Frog can also help children to become familiar with the particular characteristics of a frog - its shape, and special features, for example. It is best if children colour the Common Frog picture either following a sighting of a frog or from reference books - whenever their interest is aroused! Who is this colouring picture of a Common Frog for? Anybody. Older children will extend the activity further than younger ones, Uses for the colouring picture of a Common Frog Use to help children learn the name of the frog and to recognise them. Use as part of a science lesson Use for a basis for collage work Paint or colour. What is included in the pack? 1 sheet to be coloured 1 sheet giving an example of how the picture could be coloured. What is included? 1 PDF, 1 picture to colour, 1 for display/aid to colouring

This Sun reading comprehension includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: The Sun Genre: Nonfiction (informational text with support pages) Subject: Science (Space Science) Primary Topic: How the Sun affects Earth and works Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): S What This Lesson Teaches Best How people used the Sun and changing shadows to notice time long before clocks, phones, and apps. How telescopes in the early 1600s revealed sunspots and helped people realize the Sun can change and even spin. How the Sun shines for so long because nuclear fusion joins hydrogen to make helium and releases energy as sunlight and heat. Key facts about the Sun’s size and importance in the solar system (about 1.39 million kilometres across; holds almost all the mass in the solar system). How the Sun can be active (solar wind, flares, storms) and how spacecraft like NASA’s Parker Solar Probe study the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona . Learning Goals Describe how changing shadows helped people notice time long ago. Explain what sunspots are and what they helped early observers realize about the Sun. Explain, using details from the text, how nuclear fusion makes energy inside the Sun. Identify what the corona is and why the Parker Solar Probe flew close to the Sun. Describe two ways the Sun is “not always calm,” based on the passage. Key Vocabulary From the Text telescopes — tools used to see faraway objects in the sky. sunspots — dark freckles seen on the Sun. hydrogen — a gas that joins together deep inside the Sun. helium — what hydrogen becomes when it joins together. corona — the Sun’s outer atmosphere.

The Vikings - Interactive Notebook

The Vikings - Interactive Notebook
Social Studies, History, History: Europe, History: World, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Activities

Teach your students all about the fascinating world of the Vikings across XX topics. SCANDINAVIAN GEOGRAPHY Students learn about the role of glaciers in shaping the geography of Scandinavia as well as the arctic climate of much of the year. VIKING RAIDS Covers the reasons why the Vikings began raiding as well as why monasteries became a major target. Here's a short sample text: "The first recorded Viking raid took place in 793 AD when a group attacked and pillaged a monastery on the island of Lindisfarne off the east coast of Britain. Monasteries quickly became a major target for different groups of Vikings as they were often home to many valuable items made from gold and silver. The monks were also often unable, or unwilling, to fight back and could be captured and sold into slavery. Monasteries were also often built in very isolated areas, far from any help. News of the raid on Lindisfarne convinced other Vikings to launch raids of their own. Some places tried to protect themselves by paying different Viking groups to leave them alone (payments known as danegeld) – however this often only encouraged other groups to attack." SHIPS & WEAPONS Students learn about why longships were so effective for raiding and how they were decorated. Students also learn about the common weapons and types of armor they used. KINGDOMS Covers the foundation of large Viking kingdoms in Britain and France. EXPLORERS & SETTLEMENTS Shows how Vikings created colonies in Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, and North America. VIKINGS IN RUSSIA Shows how the Vikings took over large areas of Russia between the 800s and 1200s AD END OF THE VIKING AGE Students learn why the Viking raids came to an end with the creation of more powerful Christian kingdoms in Europe. ACTIVITIES The file comes with a variety of different interactive notebook sheets for students to complete using the information they learn during the unit. Sheets come in versions with and without images and in formats where they can be printed out and glued together or put into a notebook. PRESENTATION Use the included presentation to help guide students through each lesson with enlarged reading passages, images, and instructions.
