  • 5th grade

Coming soon. This planned resource will help learners in grade 5 use observations and models to explain a bounded science concept with original, editable materials and separate teacher guidance.

The planned content covers question, relevant information, representation, evidence, explanation.

How it will work

  1. Four station instruction mats with 6 tasks each.
  2. Four matching recording pages.
  3. Stations progress from representation to application and explanation.

A separate teacher companion is planned with prerequisites, teaching guidance, answers or worked examples, and support options.

Availability

This resource is in development. Student materials and the teacher guide will become available on this same page after the finished package has passed review. The planned content may be refined during production.
