Science Units & -ing Word Sort

May 26, 2012

I hope you are enjoying your Memorial Day weekend.  I’m glad so many of you were able to check out my classroom rewards freebie.  I appreciate the feedback I have received by e-mail, comments on this blog, and commments at my TpT store. 

While I continue to add more and more projects to my plate this summer, I am reminded at how frustrated I am with science.  We use the FOSS science kits in my district.  I love the hands-on approach and enjoy the units that I teach.  However, I find that as new science standards are revealed, our curriculum is further and further away from meeting those standards.  I want to continue using the FOSS kits, but I want to supplement with some additional mini-units.  So I ask…what are you using to teach science that teaches systems and/or the scientific process? 

I have recently finished updating one of my word sorts.  It focuses on -ing endings.  It is currently available at my TpT store for free.  I hope that someone can use this in their own classroom.  All I ask is for some feedback in the comments section here, at my TpT store, or even by e-mail.  Click on the picture to grab this free file.

    Hi Storie,
    Could you send me your email? I have chosen to give a product of your choice to all the participants of "naming the computer" giveaway.
    Have a wonderful day!
    We use something similar to FOSS kits. It does seem like they are not aligned. Do you have yours all year or do you have them sent to you?

    PBS has a great STEM website. All STEM based learning follows the the scientific method. NASA also has some great lessons. Our campus uses the FOSS kits as well. I teach reading, so I'm not positive how well they align.

    To help stock our science labs, we do a Science Scavenger hunt at the beginning of the year. Each item on the list has an assigned number of points. When you reach "X" # of points you get a free homework pass (limit 2).

If you’re starting 2021 by making resolutions and setting goals with your students, I suggest sharing Squirrel’s New Year’s Resolution by Pat Miller. This book follows Squirrel around the forest as she learns what a resolution is and helps her friends get started on theirs. Swipe to see a kid craft you can pair with this story. I also have comprehension and vocabulary activities for this book. Just follow the link in my bio for more information.⁣

Winter is officially here! Have you had snow yet w Winter is officially here! Have you had snow yet where you live? We haven’t, but my kids are anxiously waiting. While we wait, it’s been fun to revisit our favorite snow day memories while reading Ten Ways to Hear Snow.⁣

In this story, Lina wakes up to a blanket of snow outside,  but she is supposed to help her grandma cook that day. Since Sitta is losing her eyesight, Lina rushes to bundle up and get over to her home. Lina wants to make sure her grandma is okay and knows about the snow outside. On the way, Lina explores the city muffled by snow and discovers ten different ways to hear snow. ❄️⁣

During one of the worst snow storms of the year, a little girl and her family settle in for the night. They build a fort by the fire and enjoy a picnic-style dinner.

Snow Globe Wishes has a great message about slowing down, enjoying the simple things, and bringing a community together. It would be perfect to share while getting cozy on cold, winter day!⁣

In this latest book, Danny’s headed to the water park with his family. Throughout the day, he’s faced with a lot of important decisions to make. Will he be fair and kind, show empathy towards others, keep himself safe, and take responsibility for his actions? That’s up to the reader to help Danny decide! ⁣

Growing up, I loved reading choose-your-own-adventure books because it was so much fun getting to decide how the story ended. Now my own kids get to experience that same reading magic with these Power to Choose books from Ganit and Adir Levy. My kids are bound and determined to read every single one of the 9 different endings.⁣

Have you read any of the Danny or Darla books yet? If so, do you have a favorite?⁣
