This PDF includes 33 full pages of various flippables, graphic organizers and activities for an Interactive Science Notebook to be used during a unit on Weather (12 pages are teacher answer keys). Most foldables and flippables are left blank on the inside. This will allow you to fully customize each one for whatever curriculum or grade you teach with the information you want your students to know. Some ideas would be to use definitions, pictures, and examples. These also make a great tool to use for science differentiation as well! Pages include information on: •Differences in Temperature (in the oceans, on the Earth, in air masses) •Jet Stream •Weather vs. Climate •Meteorologist for a Day (Forecasting the weather using a weather map) •Pressure Systems and Fronts •El Nino & La Nina (and normal conditions) •Land and Sea Breezes •Air Masses (3) •Global Winds (2) •Gyres •Fronts (warm, cold, stationary, occluded) •Air Pressure (Barometric Pressure) •Weather instruments •Reading Weather Maps •Ocean Currents •generic admit and exit tickets are included WANT TO GET ALL 6 OF MY INTERACTIVE SCIENCE NOTEBOOK PRODUCTS IN A BUNDLE AND SAVE 10%? ©2016 Science Teaching Junkie, Inc.

Daily Science Starter TEKS Included: 6.12 Organisms and environments. The student knows all organisms are classified into Domains and Kingdoms. Organisms within these taxonomic groups share similar characteristics which allow them to interact with the living and nonliving parts of their ecosystem. The student is expected to: (A) understand that all organisms are composed of one or more cells; (B) recognize that the presence of a nucleus determines whether a cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic; (C) recognize that the broadest taxonomic classification of living organisms is divided into currently recognized Domains; (D) identify the basic characteristics of organisms, including prokaryotic or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, autotrophic or heterotrophic, and mode of reproduction, that further classify them in the currently recognized Kingdoms; (E) describe biotic and abiotic parts of an ecosystem in which organisms interact; and (F) diagram the levels of organization within an ecosystem, including organism, population, community, and ecosystem. 7.10 Organisms and environments. The student knows that there is a relationship between organisms and the environment. The student is expected to: (A) observe and describe how different environments, including microhabitats in schoolyards and biomes, support different varieties of organisms; (B) describe how biodiversity contributes to the sustainability of an ecosystem; and (C) observe, record, and describe the role of ecological succession such as in a microhabitat of a garden with weeds. 7.11 Organisms and environments. The student knows that populations and species demonstrate variation and inherit many of their unique traits through gradual processes over many generations. The student is expected to: (A) examine organisms or their structures such as insects or leaves and use dichotomous keys for identification; (B) explain variation within a population or species by comparing external features, behaviors, or physiology of organisms that enhance their survival such as migration, hibernation, or storage of food in a bulb; and etc.......

This PDF includes 36 full pages of various flippables, graphic organizers and activities designed for an Interactive Science Notebook to be used during a unit on Ecosystems and Interdependence. (7 pages are teacher answer keys). Most foldables and flippables are left blank on the inside.
