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: Trains Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Science (Technology & Engineering) Primary Topic: How rails and train power changed over time Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): R What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains how smooth rails reduce “rubbing,” helping heavy loads move more easily than wagons on muddy roads. Uses a real historical example (the Stockton and Darlington Railway opening in 1825) to show steam trains carrying coal and people. Describes how a steam locomotive works (water becomes steam, steam pushes pistons, pistons help turn wheels). Compares train power types—steam, diesel (engine spins a generator), and electric (overhead wire or third rail). Shows how high-speed rail was designed for speed (special tracks, trains shaped to slice through wind), including Japan’s Tōkaidō Shinkansen (1964) “bullet train.” QA check (support pages vs. passage): The pre-reading trivia uses the word “friction,” but the main passage describes the idea as “rubbing.” Other questions and vocabulary (boiler, pistons, diesel, generator, third rail, high-speed rail) match the passage. Learning Goals Students will explain why smooth rails helped heavy loads move with less rubbing. Students will identify what happened in 1825 with the Stockton and Darlington Railway. Students will describe how steam in a boiler can help power wheel movement using pistons. Students will compare steam, diesel, and electric explanations of how trains get power in the text. Students will describe how train design and tracks can increase speed, using details about high-speed rail. Key Vocabulary From the Text locomotive — the front engine that pulls the train cars. boiler — the part where water is heated to make steam. pistons — parts steam pushes to help turn the wheels. generator — a machine that makes electricity for the train. soot — black dirty particles in the air from smoke.

This water reading comprehension with lesson plan 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: Water Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Science (Earth & Physical Science) / Informational Reading Primary Topic: Water cycle, where water is found, and H₂O Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): R What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains how water changes state and moves around Earth (puddle → vapor → clouds → rain/snow). Builds background knowledge about where Earth’s water is found (oceans, glaciers/ice caps, lakes/rivers, underground aquifers, air as vapor). Introduces key science ideas about what water is made of (hydrogen + oxygen; water as a compound; H₂O; molecule). Highlights an important property of water: when it freezes, it expands and floats , allowing fish to swim below lake ice. Connects science to real life by describing how people move and clean water (pipes, filters, treatment) and why keeping water clean matters. Learning Goals Students will explain what happens to some puddle water when it shrinks in the sun. Students will describe at least three places water is found on Earth or in living things, using details from the text. Students will identify what scientists learned in the late 1700s about what water is made from. Students will explain why ice can float on liquid water, based on the passage. Students will describe one way people make water safer to drink that is stated in the text. Key Vocabulary From the Text vapor — water as an invisible gas in the air. glaciers — large masses of ice that store fresh water. aquifers — underground places where water is stored. compound — something made from two different gases joined together. molecule — a tiny particle that makes up water (H₂O).
