Q&A

Description

**I have updated this asynchronous unit, adding many resources and more slides and deleting bad links***

This is a self-guided iIndependent learning unit for students in grades Kindergarten through 6th grade on the ocean. 25 slides with many resources, including some resources in Spanish. books, videos, music, art, games, quizzes, webcams, puzzles, virtual field trips, careers, research websites, writing websites. Very useful for using with students when teacher is absent or Internet is down. Also a useful homeschool resource.

I know from my own experiences over the past month....teaching kids in kindergarten through 5th grade online is HARD!!

In addition to the typical pedagogical challenges of teaching remotely, students and teachers face daily challenges with technology: Internet dropping, lack of wifi, slow connection speeds, etc.

After my Internet suddenly dropped and I disappeared right in front of my students' eyes, I decided to create an asynchronous unit full of activities and resources that students can easily access on their own. You can use these in your regular program or as a resource for students to access when and if you can't be with them virtually.

This first unit is on the ocean. Feel free to make your own copy to edit and make any changes you like in Google Slides or Powerpoint.

I will be working on the next Asynchronous Online Unit on the Solar System and Space Travel

NGSSMS-ESS3-2

Analyze and interpret data on natural hazards to forecast future catastrophic events and inform the development of technologies to mitigate their effects. Emphasis is on how some natural hazards, such as volcanic eruptions and severe weather, are preceded by phenomena that allow for reliable predictions, but others, such as earthquakes, occur suddenly and with no notice, and thus are not yet predictable. Examples of natural hazards can be taken from interior processes (such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions), surface processes (such as mass wasting and tsunamis), or severe weather events (such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods). Examples of data can include the locations, magnitudes, and frequencies of the natural hazards. Examples of technologies can be global (such as satellite systems to monitor hurricanes or forest fires) or local (such as building basements in tornado-prone regions or reservoirs to mitigate droughts).

NGSS5-ESS3-1

Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth’s resources and environment.

NGSSMS-ESS3-5

Ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century. Examples of factors include human activities (such as fossil fuel combustion, cement production, and agricultural activity) and natural processes (such as changes in incoming solar radiation or volcanic activity). Examples of evidence can include tables, graphs, and maps of global and regional temperatures, atmospheric levels of gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, and the rates of human activities. Emphasis is on the major role that human activities play in causing the rise in global temperatures.

NGSSMS-ESS3-3

Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment. Examples of the design process include examining human environmental impacts, assessing the kinds of solutions that are feasible, and designing and evaluating solutions that could reduce that impact. Examples of human impacts can include water usage (such as the withdrawal of water from streams and aquifers or the construction of dams and levees), land usage (such as urban development, agriculture, or the removal of wetlands), and pollution (such as of the air, water, or land).
