Culture Lesson: Cultural Norms and Avoiding Stereotypes Worksheets
Social Studies, Psychology, Life Studies, Grade 5, 6, 7, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Activities, Experiments, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
Do you want your students in grades 5-7 to learn how to become global citizens who can respect a variety of cultural norms and comprehend cross-cultural differences? Are you looking for a fun way to bring all of these ideas to life? Check out this ready-to-go lesson for your class. This 5-Page PDF is ready to print for your social studies classroom. It includes clear teacher instructions for a fun class simulation where half of your students will act out a new "class norm" (five options are provided such as not raising your hand to ask a question) that the other half of your class won't be expecting. While the simulation is happening, everyone will be working on a three page reading comprehension task. Students will read about cultural norms from around the world (slurping noodles when eating in Japan or nodding one's head to say "no" in Bulgaria). They will imagine how not knowing about the cultural norms in a place where they are travelling could lead to accidental misunderstandings. Students are also taught a simple definition of the concept of stereotypes, and they will think of how they are different from cultural norms. Finally, there is a 1-page reflection with prompts- perfect for after a class discussion. Teacher Instructions: 1. Split your class in two and talk to only one half. 2. Tell them that they will have a new “class cultural norm.” Pick one from the provided ideas. 3. When the whole class is reunited, pass out the reading page & worksheets. Students read about cultural norms and answer the questions. 4. As they work, the selected half will enact their new norm, which will confuse the other half of the class. 5. Once the point has been made, let the other half in on the secret. 6. Have a discussion about cultural norms and give students time to write a reflection about this lesson.

It includes everything you need to take your 3rd, 4th & 5th grade students from the theory of physics to creating their very own projects! This product is NOT just a bunch of worksheets, it is an entire educational experience! The resource contains 3 parts: a theoretical guide for teachers, an interactive student workbook & a complete teacher resource pack. The unit provides students with hands-on experiences as they explore 6 classical simple machines (levers, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, wheels and axles, screws) by examining real-world case studies such as the pyramids of Giza through modern skyscrapers, & then participating in a series of hands-on, challenging activities. Constructivist approaches promote "productive struggle" within the context of providing students with a true understanding of the concepts in this unit, using low-cost, readily available, recycled materials. No more expensive kits, use real-world, authentic inquiry-based learning that develops a true engineering mindset! What This 38-Page Resource Includes: In-depth explanation of Simple Machines: Each of the 6 Simple Machines is explained to teachers in easy-to-understand language. Helpful historical case studies and concept reinforcement questions are included to aid understanding. Worksheets: 10 challenging worksheets designed for students, allow students to demonstrate an understanding of Simple Machines in real-world contexts.

Visuals & Helpful Teacher Tools: Three High Contrast Anchor Charts: Vector illustrations of the 6 Simple Machines, a Class 1 Lever (Mechanical Advantage) and the Engineering Design Cycle (STEM). For use in display and projection. Detailed Answer Key: Complete answer key for all 10 worksheets. Complete Teacher Implementation Guide: The Ultimate Resource Guide - Contains teaching reasoning, recommended 5 week pacing guide, list of readily available recycled materials for use in the "Maker Station" and how to facilitate hands on activities and productive struggles in the classroom, as written by seasoned pros. Simple machines, STEM activities, processes used in the design of mechanical systems (engineering design), the learning of physics, the learning of physics from the perspective of children, third grade, fourth grade, fifth-grade science, hands-on learning, project-based learning (PBL), the use of levers and pulleys, worksheets, STEM units or courses together with lesson plans requiring little or no preparation and low-cost preparation; utilizing mechanical advantages using acceleration. The Reasons Parents/Schools Value: Comprehensive & Ready to Use: This isn't just one thing to do; it is a full 5-week unit plan which includes theory, worksheets, visuals, and a detailed teacher's guide. This prepares the teacher for doing the lesson in dozens of hours less than would normally be required. Cost Effective & Easily Accessible: This unit plan was designed to be completed with items that are readily available to you such as cardboard, bottle caps, or string. There is no need to purchase expensive robotic kits that are specialized. Provides Deeper Conceptual Understanding: When students work through building challenges (e.g., utilizing force) they have a hands-on experience they will remember long after the activity is completed. Encourages Developing an Engineering Mindset: In addition to using the Engineering Design Cycle and creating "productive struggle", there is an emphasis on teaching students how to think like an engineer and to use real-world skills to solve problems, be resilient, implement multiple iterations of their solution, and critically think. Target group analysis : The text has an explicit statement of the target audience ("For students in grades 3-5"), so it's clear that the cognitive level of this audience is in the appropriate range. Because of these two factors, we have identified: 1. Primary audience Members consisting of 3rd through 5th Grade Teachers (from public, private and charter schools). 2. Secondary audience members of Homeschooling Families looking for a complete, structured STEM Curriculum. 3. Tertiary audience members will be STEM/STEAM Coordinators, After School Program Directors and Science Club Leaders or Facilitators.
