Here is my grade 6 ready to print science unit on Electricity. I have just completed this package with my grade 6 MFI classes and we had a lot of fun. This package is mostly theoretical. I use it to supplement our classroom experiments and I also use it to give students opportunities to further research topics in electricity. Overall, here are some of the topics that I have covered: atoms, what is electricity, circuits in series and in parallel, batteries, electromagnetism, a historic overview of electricity, the generation of electricity, and three tasks at the end accompanied with a common rubric.
Suitable for EFI and MFI.
Here is my tried and tested Grade 6 French Immersion unit on flight. This ready-to-use unit includes a historical overview on flight, the theoretical aspects of flight, comprehension questions, reflection questions and research questions. I have included two research tasks that I get students to do (rubrics and checklists included), I have also included weekly homework questions.
This unit is also sensitive to other cultures as I have tried to include historic figures from different cultures and times in my historical overview of flight.
Overall, my students have greatly enjoyed this unit. I end this unit with a culminating project on flight that is also available at my TPT store.
