This unit contains 10 pages of mainly geography based general knowledge questions. There are various types of activities, most of them require the students to conduct research and find answers to the questions. We all have the lessons that finish 5 or 10 minutes before breaks, there is not enough time to begin another topic and too long for the students to sit not doing work. I would create different activities and the student could choose what they wanted to do, it kept them interested, filled in the excess time and they learned as well. These worksheets can be used in a variety of ways, they were suitable as homework activities, used as group work to encourage discussion, for those students who always finished their work quickly or kept in a booklet that the students could complete during the term.

Endangered Species of The World. Research & Language Arts Unit Environmental Worksheets and Activities. There are 51 pages of activities based around the theme of species that are in danger of extinction. There are too many species to be covered in these pages, so I have kept the emphasis on animals. The students will investigate the different world habitats, for example, rainforests, polar regions, to discover the natives of these regions and why these habitats are changing and nature is being threatened. As well as the research aspects of this unit, the students partake in geography, mapping design, art, poetry appreciation and writing, creative and structured writing and word studies. This unit could be used as a base for several grades, from Year 6 to 8. The activities could be changed to accommodate the differing age groups.

10 Task Cards revolving around the imaginary city of Wandalotte on the island of Wanddleit and its survival. Each of the cards involve a specific scenario that require the students to solve.

These tasks can be implemented in a variety of ways; * as an integrative component of other subjects; * as contract activities; * as enjoyable “thinking” activities; * homework; * group or individual extension work.
