Interdisciplinary Curriculum Developer and Educator with a background in Astrophysics and a flair for great no-nonsense resources based on classroom experience.
From thermal energy, magnets to simple circuits. Physics has a lot of incredible concepts that should be covered. I have even thrown in sound, static electricity and the EM spectrum too.
This set of 7 science articles provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is a set of articles with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. I am very proud of this series of science articles and they are rich with information and wonder at the majesty of science. Each science article includes a fun fact(s) to add to the knowledge gained from this article. Formatted in an easy to read and digest manner, each paragraph is numbered to help with referencing and each question answer has a paragraph reference number to point to the specific information (where applicable).
WHY / WHEN TO USE:
Useful for substitute (sub) teaching
To extend students
To increase scientific literacy in your class
A weekly reading task
Great as a lesson filler when class goes too fast
To inspire students on a particular topic
Give a selection of these articles for students to choose from
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
7 sets of 3 page Word doc teacher version with answers
