Reading assignment: muscles

Reading Assignment: Muscles is a 17-page science resource that teaches 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students about muscles through a reading passage and follow-up activities. Students make predictions, tap into prior knowledge, read a text with diagrams about muscles, apply reading strategies, answer comprehension questions, make connections, share opinions about the passage, identify a favorite excerpt, and complete a creative transformation activity. This informative packet can be used for whole group instruction, small group work, or as an independent reading assignment on anatomy.
