This 55-page comprehensive, interdisciplinary curriculum will allow you to turn your classroom into an environmental action lab focused on ocean plastic pollution. Designed to bridge cutting-edge marine science with civic advocacy, it provides students with opportunities to move beyond passive learning and into actual environmental action based on evidence. The curriculum consists of three phases that take students through a complete educational process. In Phase 1, Theoretical Framework gives students all of the background knowledge necessary for them as citizens to become advocates for change through evidence-based advocacy strategies (i.e., the Coriolis Effect; chemical properties of polymers; biodegradability; accumulation and magnification of toxins in food webs; marine ecosystems) designed using science and basic tenets of physics & chemistry that are used in designing marine policies. In Phase 2, Application Phase, students have the opportunity to apply what they have learned through 10 worksheets that require analytical thinking skills (i.e., interpreting data sets; calculating numbers; ecological reasoning; evaluating corporations' environmental claims) in the creation of project proposals, respectively, regarding greenwashing, greenhouse gas emission reductions. In Phase 3, Instructional Materials, teacher support is provided (i.e., graphic organizers; rubric; answer keys with rational explanations; pacing guide; differentiation strategies, etc.) for successful implementation of the curriculum across disciplines. Students will have the opportunity to analyze real-world examples of ocean plastic pollution facts, including: the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Henderson Island, Midway Atoll; develop a quantitative analysis of the rate of time it takes for PVC plastic to decompose; create maps showing the locations of the locations of plastic and non-plastic debris along ocean currents; analyze data related to the successful clean up of beaches and oceans and use such information in forming international legislation that seeks to eliminate as much plastic pollution as possible through public awareness campaigns such as "I Love My Ocean" public service announcements etc. Students compose policy memos formally addressed to elected representatives. The materials will help students build skills and competencies in the areas of data literacy, systems thinking, scientific writing, persuasive communication and authentic political agency through a pressing global issue — marine plastic pollution. Topics Covered: Environmental Science, Earth Science, Marine Biology, Chemistry (Polymer Science), Economics, Civics/Government, ELA (Persuasive Writing, Research), Mathematics (Data Analysis, Percent Calculations, Unit Conversions). You will get: Theoretical Resource: Four Chapters (Pgs. 1 - 10); Structured Worksheets for Students (10 Worksheets with 100+ Questions) (Pgs. 11 - 22); Three High Contrast Pedagogical Visual Diagrams (Lifecycle Flowchart, Bar Chart, Advocacy Framework); Complete Comprehensive Answer Keys for Each Question with Model Response; Graded Rubric (100 Point) for Final Policy Memo Project; Flexible Pacing Guide (20 days of Instruction in a 4 week period); Strategies for Differentiation for 3 Learner Profiles; Cross Curricular Activity Connection (Science, ELA, Math, C.S.S., Art); Teacher's Resource List (documentaries, interactive tools, essential readings); Final Note to Educators with Pedagogy Philosophy.

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.

This unit focuses only on the Beginning Digraph sounds. Learning how to read can be the most challenging activity for many students and for a teacher. A digraph in the English language are two letters put together that represents a single sound or phoneme. Understanding that the combination of letters can make one sound can be difficult to master and requires repetitive practice of reading and writing these words with these sounds. There are other phonics units that I sell that focuses on the Ending digraph sounds, and one that focuses on all three digraph sounds in the Beginning, Middle and End. Reading can be made easier with these phonic helps that repeatedly encourage students to practice these Beginning Digraph sounds. Activities include reading comprehension and identifying the digraphs in their reading, writing their answers to questions regarding the paragraph, identifying additional beginning digraph words in sentences using a word bank, matching words with pictures, spinning a paperclip activity where students will write the word with the digraph sound, and lastly a fun wordsearch with the beginning digraph words. These activities are for each digraph so there is plenty of opportunities for students to practice their comprehension reading skills and phonic sounds. Students will practice the following Beginning Digraph sounds: sh, th, wh, and ph. Teachers can use this resource in whole group, individually with students, students can practice with each other in centers, or they can be assigned as homework. Worksheets are also differentiated for each Beginning Digraph sound for all young learners which makes it perfect for all 1st - 2nd graders. A total of 26 pages full of reading and phonic activities. Along with reading and writing, there are matching, cutting, and pasting activities.

Gamified Budgeting & Reality Cost of Living
Math, Money, Homeschool Curriculum, Grade 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Worksheets & Printables, Workbooks, Worksheets, Word Searches, Teacher Tools, Assessments, Lesson Plans, Quizzes and Tests, Quizzes, Tests
Are abstract financial literacy lessons that simply do not engage your students giving you frustration? This immersive Curriculum of Gamified Budgeting & Cost of Living PBL makes the theory from the textbook material tangible in the experience. This is not an ordinary worksheet, but an eye-opening multi-day undertaking aimed at making students realize the real cost of living independently. By choosing a job opportunity and working with real-time data from their area, students will create a clear monthly budget. They will face the financial reality of taxes, the difficulty of searching for a reasonably-priced apartment with the help of Zillow, the complexity of finding the grocery bills as well as utility costs, and the burden of debts. This comprehensive curriculum requires no preparation in advance and allows for having great “A-ha” moments as well as develops critical thinking, resilience, and got a deep understanding of money issues. What is Included In this 42 Pages All-in-One PDF: Part 1: A Comprehensive Theory Guide (9 Pages): An exhaustive orientation for the instructors about the learning process and methods that includes ideas such as Income Illusion, Housing Heavyweights, Convenience Tax and Subscription Creep in connection with the evidence. Part 2: The Student Assignment of 10 Worksheets (20 Pages): An assignment providing an intricate guide to students concerning the following: Worksheet 1: Choosing Careers, Gross and Net Income, and Taxes Worksheet 2: Reality of Housing Market (checking local rents) Worksheet 3: Utility Costs and Connectivity (actual costs of electricity, internet, etc.) Worksheet 4: Food Spending & Eating Out (actual supermarket prices) Worksheet 5: Historical Costs of Transport (auto-loan payments and public transport) Worksheet 6: Health and Emergency Expenses Worksheet 7: Lifestyle Audit (spending for pleasures) Worksheet 8: Debt and Obligations (credits) Worksheet 9: The Monthly Report (bringing everything together) Worksheet 10: The Pivot (experiencing a financial crisis like rent increase or car problems) Part 3: Elaboration on the Instructional Tools for Educators (13 Pages): Illustrative Visuals: The educational tool gives as many graphics to make complex ideas easier. Detailed Example Answer Key: Detailed examples that illustrate the whole project using a specific example (Dental Hygienist in Austin, Texas). Five Days Implementation Guide for Teachers: Teacher's handbook. Assessment and Grading Sheet: Grading rubric made easy and comprehensible. It is vital that the Manners Project gives students crucial financial survival skills they will need later in their lives. Why Parents/Schools Think It's a Wonderful Idea: Practical Applications: The curriculum is based on local and current real data (like Zillow) that is tapped to teach budgeting, causing students to learn it in a practical way that has great relevance to their own local community. Engaging & Game-based: The curriculum is very engaging as learning is approached in a project approach (it is gamified, as students are allowed to choose a profession and deal with financial surprises) that gets students interested and involved in the learning process. Builds Useful Skills: This curriculum allows students to work in tough situations when they have to make decisions about money. Target Audience Choice: Due to the complexity of its content, its emphasis on independent living and its application of mathematical concepts, we recommend: High school students (10th-12th grade): This is probably the best audience, especially for juniors and seniors who are studying economics, personal finance, life skills, or even in a general math course as an end project. Homeschooling cooperatives: Home school parents look for high-quality real-life themes for their teenagers. Community colleges/early-stage university students: A very suitable application for "First-Year Experience" or other student success sessions to assist the young adults with the necessary transition to life away from home.

Keywords: Nutrition lesson plans, health science, meal planning, high school health class, middle school health class, biology, macronutrients, food labels, becoming a healthy eater (lifestyle), digital workbook, printable workbook, life skills, physical education, nutrition unit, project-based learning. What Parents/Schools Appreciate Most About It: More Than Just Study Materials: This is not your standard guide of food pyramid style based information that provides answers to "why" food is important rather than just teaching them about "what" food is by incorporating real biochemically based research that gives students leadership skills through critical thinking about applying appropriate nutrients in their daily diets. No Need To Create New Lessons: It is a comprehensive, ready-to-teach resource that contains all the lessons needed for instructing students, including student learning materials (worksheets), student-directed interactive media, and an answer key for each lesson; which allows teachers to reduce their lesson planning and preparation time by several hours. Teaching Students Skills For Today And Tomorrow: Students will acquire real-world skills that they can apply throughout their lives, including, reading confusing food labels and budgeting for groceries, as well as creating meal plans based upon their own individual physical demands and/or mental needs (i.e., studying for exams, participating in sports). Based On Research And Up-to-date Information: The curriculum provides students with current scientifically valid information by disproving current myths and focusing on scientifically verified, up-to-date information (e.g., nutrient density, the body's hormonal response to food, and the importance of the body's microbiome). Audience For This Poster: From examining the content, language, and references in the text (i.e. two references to "grade 8 students," two references to "9th grade students," and teacher reference to "middle years (grades 7-9)"), I am using the following criteria to define my audience? Primary Target: Advanced Middle School Students (Grades 7-8) and regular High School Students (Grades 9-10) Justification: The vocabulary is appropriate for students of this age and demonstrates a high level of abstract thinking (i.e. biochemistry, paradigm shifts, phospholipid bilayers, anaphylaxis). This will serve as an excellent core unit for a Health or Biology class in high school or as a challenging, extensive science unit for an advanced middle school science class.

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.

What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains yoga as an old practice that began in India and grew over time. Defines what the word “yoga” can mean in the passage (“yoke” or “union,” like two things working as one). Describes key tools in yoga: body positions, steady breathing, and quiet attention (and how breathing can steady the mind). Introduces “sutras” and explains that Patanjali gathered yoga ideas into short lines meant to be remembered, including a description of yoga as a path with eight “limbs.” Traces how yoga changed in the 1900s, noting that teachers such as Tirumalai Krishnamacharya helped create modern postural yoga with flowing sequences taught in classes. Learning Goals Students will describe what the passage says the word “yoga” can mean. Students will identify tools the passage says yoga uses (body positions, steady breathing, quiet attention).

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.

Lesson Snapshot Title: Jeans Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Reading (Informational Text) / Social Studies Primary Topic: Denim, rivets, and how jeans changed over time Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): R What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains what makes denim strong (slanted, diagonal woven lines) and connects denim’s blue color to indigo dye. Builds word/history knowledge by linking “denim” to Nîmes and “jeans” to the port city of Genoa. Shows an invention problem-and-solution story: pockets ripped, so copper rivets were added, leading to a patented idea. Traces how jeans spread from work clothes to popular culture (mines/farms → World War II → 1950s movie stars). Introduces environmental impact through a concrete detail: making and caring for jeans can use thousands of liters of water, so mending/sharing/reusing matters. Learning Goals Identify the main idea and key details about how jeans were made to be tough. Explain why denim is strong and how indigo connects to the story of jeans. Describe the problem Jacob W. Davis noticed and how rivets solved it. Describe at least two ways jeans changed over time, using details and dates from the passage. Explain why mending, sharing, and reusing jeans can matter, based on the passage. Key Vocabulary From the Text denim — strong cloth with slanted, diagonal woven lines. indigo — a deep blue dye used to color denim. rivets — tiny metal pieces that strengthen places that rip. patent — legal protection for a new invention idea. synthetic — made by people, not from nature.
