TEACHER RESOURCES
Classroom unit studies from science institutes and universities
I use a basic classroom science text as the base of all my unit studies. This year I am using an OLD 2002/2005 Glencoe Science book called the Air Around You. Its pre-common core and is used for grades 6th and up. I found it for $4 at Abebooks.com but there are free online copies available. (search google Air Around You pdf)
Though I am using a text as my base this isn't a dry textbook and chapter review unit study. I have provided links to interactive note booking, you tube videos, computer animations, simulations and computer interactives. In addition I have provided art lessons that we used during various parts of our science study. I meet the challenge of teaching concepts to a variety of learning styles and ages using plenty of interactive resources.
