FAQ: More About This Product

♦ “How can this be implemented in my classroom?

Each lesson is clearly laid out for the teacher so they can understand how to teach the content to all levels of learners at the same time. Teacher guides are provided to help you understand the science in the activities before you implement this. Even if you don’t have a background in science, these guides will help you better anticipate student questions and discoveries throughout the unit.

♦Is this product right for me?

If you are new to a grade 6, new to inquiry, or perhaps not a specialist in science then this product will fit your needs.  The detailed lesson plans, teacher’s notes and guides will help you to understand the content, help your students learn, and save you the planning time it takes to make these yourself.  This will also work for teachers that are not new but may be looking for a re-fresh or some new ideas.  If you are often stuck scrambling for ideas and lessons at the last minute save yourself the time and hassle by having these lessons ready and waiting.  You can confidently ensure that every lesson covers the curriculum in a way that would keep your students engaged, and you more confident when teaching.  No need to keep buying lesson after lesson and putting things together piece meal, everything you need is here.

♦”Does this product align to my curriculum standards?

This unit is aligned to the Ontario curriculum and meets all of the expectations of the Grade 6: Electricity and electrical devices

This also meets the NGSS science standards 3-5-ETS1-1, 3-5-ETS1-2, 3-5-ETS1-3  

♦How do I use this product with my special education and English Language learners?

This is a hands-on unit and is easily differentiated to meet the needs of complex learners.  Narrowing the focus to constructing a simple electrical circuit reduces the complexity of the activities in this unit while also allowing students to participate in activities that are modified at grade level for science.  Many of the reading and research materials are available online and can be supported by using digital reading software.  Because this unit is student centered and inquiry focused it is easier to differentiate the content and product produced by the students by increasing or decreasing the complexity of level and depth of understanding.
