Cet ensemble contient tout ce dont vous pourriez avoir besoin pour enseigner confortablement et efficacement les 4 unités de votre programme de sciences de 5e année. Je suis de près les programmes d'études du Québec, de l'Ontario et du Manitoba - en plus du mien (à l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard) pour construire mes documents et m'assurer qu'ils couvrent toutes les bases.

Mes produits ont tout, du contenu que vous animez, des activités imprimables, des invites de discussion et du travail de groupe, des guides et rubriques de présentation, des guides et rubriques de recherche et de nombreux projets amusants. Ils sont remplis de jeux pour garder vos élèves engagés.

Je m'amuse à créer ces unités, à enseigner ces unités et à aider mes élèves à collaborer et à créer ensemble. Ceux-ci s'intègrent bien aux arts du langage et je les enseigne constamment ensemble.

Dans ce bundle, vous trouverez :

• Les sources d'énergie (72 pages)
• Les systèmes du corps humain (102 pages)
• Changements et propriétés de la matière (124 pages)
• Les forces et les structures (124 pages)

** Mes documents évoluent constamment et j'ajoute des activités, des imprimables et du matériel didactique dès que je les réalise pour mon propre usage. Mon groupe est à plusieurs niveaux et la plupart de mes élèves nécessitent des adaptations sous forme d'organisateurs graphiques. Par conséquent, mes documents reflètent une classe à plusieurs niveaux. **

Si vous êtes intéressés par mes produits, assurez-vous de vous inscrire à ma boutique pour être averti lorsque je crée de nouveaux produits ou lance des ventes. Vous pouvez également me rejoindre sur Facebook, où je partage des cadeaux et préviens à l'avance les ventes à venir.
