6th Grade General Science Workbooks

I created this document for completeness. It contains everything you need to easily and effectively teach this unit. It contains all content (over 75 pages) and over 30 pages of engaging activities, projects, comprehension pieces, computational research, group work, discussions and reflection questions.

Whether you're new to teaching, aren't comfortable teaching science, or are simply tired of planning, this document is for YOU!

I cover so much in this resource:

• The biosphere;
• Biodiversity;
• Species, classes and categories;
• Kingdoms/reigns, hierarchies and taxonomy;
• A basic look at cells (animal, plant, eukaryotic, prokaryotic);
• A basic look at photosynthesis;
• Threatened/endangered species;
• Carnivores, herbivores and omnivores;
• Producers, consumers and decomposers;
• Habitats and ecosystems;
• Food chains.

Also included: a student notebook that follows the slides; with opportunities for students to answer questions, complete SVA (K-W-L) charts, complete activities, research, doodle/color. Here are some activities in their 'notebook':

• Taxonomic practice (x 6)
• Mini-search for a species of their choice with taxonomic map.
• Paper mosaic - endangered animals (art project)
• Listening notes, comprehension questions, probing questions.
• Reigns mini-search + comparison table.
• Mini-research on an endangered animal.

Answer keys/answer keys are given when a specific answer is requested!

For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun!
