This is great to use on different grade levels when you get moved around.
Very helpful.
Excellent informational reading strategies!
A very helpful and useful resource.
This resource was perfect for my Solar System Unit. The language was clear and simple to follow for my Grade 6 class. Very engaging activities to boot!
I really enjoyed using these lessons. The students understood the information and I was able to add my own activities throughout to easily make it my own.

My favorite part of this was the end of the unit projects. My students got SO creative! Also, we had great class discussions that branched off from each activity - long conversations about the life of our Sun and what things in our solar system might look like in five billion years.
So much great material. Looking forward to purchasing more in the future.
Fantastic Unit!! Would highly recommend it. One of the best I've seen.
