It includes enduring understandings, essential questions, science skills or outcomes, relevant unit sections, and key vocabulary terms, all in one condensed document. Finally, this document features a multi-page glossary of key vocabulary terms and their definitions, in alphabetical order.

How I Use This Product:

I typically hand out Pages 1-2 of this unit overview document to my students on the first day of a new topic. I usually photocopy it on a brightly-colored piece of paper so that the page provides a nice delineation point in their binders or folders that visually separates the different science units I teach from one another. In addition, I upload the vocabulary pages to Google Drive folder for that unit so that my students can have access to it throughout the course of study.
