A complete teaching package for Middle School Earth Science. Your unit comes with 10 lessons. Everything you need to teach the unit over 4-5 weeks. These lessons are specifically made for the middle school science classroom. They include language that is appropriate and content that is easy to understand. There are also many images and videos that make learning easier and more enjoyable.

If you're interested in the activities that go along with this unit, please consider my Middle School Earth Science Unit - Lessons and Activities resource.

• This unit includes both Office and Google formats for ALL lessons. The presentations are in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
• Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

The Following Resources Are Included:

• 5 weeks of teaching material
• 10 lessons
• All lessons contain student and teacher versions of the presentation as well as a student lesson outline and many embedded videos for easy access

Each lesson contains:

• The lesson (student and teacher versions of the presentation)
• Google and Office-ready versions
• An auto-graded Exit Ticket
• Embedded videos
• A student lesson handout as a document

Google Classroom and Exit Ticket

• Each resource in this bundle is perfect for in-class or distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom. Included is a link that with one click, will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students
• On the last Google Slide is a link to a four-question Exit Ticket that you can give as homework or to conclude your lesson in class.
• These lessons include both Google and Office versions for ALL resources. The presentation is in Google Slides and PowerPoint while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It also allows you, as well as your students, to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

Digital and Distance Learning:

This lesson is fully digital which makes it perfect for the classroom, distance learning, or as a sub-plan if needed. With a single click, the entire package will be imported into your Google Drive and will be ready to assign to your students or present in class. You can also place a copy of the resources directly into student Google Drive accounts for easy access.

Included in your package is an Exit Ticket which can be directly accessed from the last Google Slide. Additionally, your purchase will create a copy of the Google Form Exit Ticket which you can edit to meet your class needs.

Student Versions:

The student version of the lesson contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
