Planes Movie Guide (Force, Motion, Energy, and Speaking/Listening)
Science, Physics, Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, Worksheets & Printables, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
The Planes movie guide combines writing and science as students must find examples of energy, force, and motion in the movie and provide evidence of how these concepts are used. Using movies and movie guides in the classroom can make learning more engaging and relatable for students. Movies bring lessons to life by showing scientific concepts and social issues in an entertaining way, while movie guides help students focus on important details and think critically about what they watch. Movie Synopsis: Dusty is a crop duster plane who dreams of one day competing as an air racer. However he's not built for racing, and he's terribly afraid of heights. To achieve his dream, Dusty turns to naval aviator Skipper. Skipper helps Dusty qualify to participate in an around-the-world aerial race and take on the race circuit's defending champion. Dusty's courage is tested as he takes on new adventures and meets new friends along the way. Speaking and listening standards can also be covered depending on how many of the above topics you cover in your classroom. The movie guide provides an opportunity for teachers to "get back" some of that class time at the end of a unit, whether needed for grading projects, working one on one with students, or finishing up assessments. Other students are engaged and still actively searching for the topics covered in the unit discussed. The activities provided allow for: Class discussion Small group discussion Informal assessment Movie Rating: G Grades: 3rd - 6th Tags: Planes, Disney Pixar, movie guide, force, energy, motion, drag, thrust, speed, velocity File type: PDF Pages: 2 - including answer key

Animal Classification | Vertebrates & Invertebrates
Science, Life Sciences, Insects, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Environmental Science, Grade 5, 6, 7, Teacher Tools, Graphic Organizers
This resource was designed as an introductory lesson for any animal unit. Understanding the similarities and differences between different types of animals will allow students to classify animals as they study them. Included: Color and black & white version Vertebrates and invertebrates diagram Animal classification chart, can be used as a content review tool or taken for a grade. Answer key Animals, the diverse living organisms that inhabit our planet, can be broadly categorized into two main groups: vertebrates and invertebrates. This classification is primarily based on the presence or absence of a backbone or spinal column. Vertebrates possess a well-developed internal skeleton made of bone or cartilage, while invertebrates lack a backbone and often have an exoskeleton or no skeletal structure at all. Let's delve deeper into these two groups and explore their characteristics. This animal classification into vertebrates and invertebrates provides a broad framework for understanding the vast diversity of animals on Earth. Vertebrates, with their well-developed backbone and complex nervous systems, represent a smaller but highly diverse group. In contrast, invertebrates, lacking a backbone, dominate the animal kingdom in terms of species richness and ecological adaptations. Both groups play crucial roles in maintaining the balance of ecosystems and offer fascinating insights into the wonders of the animal world. Examples: Invertebrates include insects (such as ants, bees, and butterflies), arachnids (such as spiders and scorpions), mollusks (such as snails and octopuses), annelids (such as earthworms and leeches), echinoderms (such as starfish and sea urchins), and many others. It is important to note that the division between vertebrates and invertebrates is not the only way to classify animals. There are further subdivisions and classifications within each group based on various factors, such as body symmetry, habitat, reproductive strategies, and evolutionary relationships.
