Next Generation Science Standards and Unit Planning
So I was planning to move my science into the NGSS next year. It was kinda hard to plan the units because we have a combined class of 4th and 5th so I had to figure out how to put the two years together within only four units, but I think I got it. Geology and Biology were pretty easy to put together and what year to place them in. The problem I had was putting Energy, Matter, Space and Waves into units. But after thinking about it Energy and Matter go well together and I have some solid bones for the unit plan. After lot of thought I decided to break up the space standards and place them with different units. It is looking good so far and I am really happy with what I have.
My units so far are as follows:
Odd to Even Years
Each one takes about two months except for one each year that is only a month long. I have big plans for next years units. I also should hopefully have a partner teacher to help keep me on track and to help with the details. Inshallah everything works out great.
My units so far are as follows:
Odd to Even Years
- Exploration
- Energy and Matter
- Native Americans
- Waves
- American Revolution
Even to Odd Years
- Earth Systems
- Spanish Mexican California
- Rain forest
- Gold Rush
- Modern California
Each one takes about two months except for one each year that is only a month long. I have big plans for next years units. I also should hopefully have a partner teacher to help keep me on track and to help with the details. Inshallah everything works out great.
