Description

This resource is a third grade science bundle to teach environment and survival, and fossil evidence. It is a comprehensive science resource carefully designed with literally everything you need to teach NGSS and many state science standards for environment and survival, and fossil evidence all in one resource.

This resource aligns to 3rd grade NGSS standards 3-LS2-1, 3-LS4-1, 3-LS4-2, 3-LS4-3, 3-LS4-4. It includes 25 days of highly engaging science lessons.

Lesson topics:

Adapting to Survive
Physical and Behavioral Adaptations
Survival of Individuals
Survival of Groups
Survival in a Changed Environment
Fossil Evidence
Types of Fossils
How Fossils Form
The Fossil Record
The Geologic Time Scale

Each ready to teach lesson comes with an instructional PowerPoint, as well as a Google Slides version with narrated audio slides. Detailed, scripted lesson plans, response journal activities, differentiated quizzes, hands-on investigations and STEM lab activities are also included.

This third grade environments and survival, and fossil evidence unit includes 25 days of in-depth science lessons with vocabulary posters, guiding questions, and learning objectives display cards as well as videos for each lesson. Literacy and math based science centers make it easy to integrate science during your reading and math blocks if you wish to.

These lessons will have your students begging you for science!

Assessing each lesson is easy to differentiate using one of two quiz formats: the fill in the blank option or the short, written response format.

At the end of the unit students are assessed with a comprehensive unit test with questions modeled after standardized tests that allow students to practice important skills while you assess learning. The quizzes and unit test are also included as self-checking Google Forms.

All the activities are included in both a printable version and in digital format on Google Slides with narrated audio lessons.

The narrated audio lessons make it easy to differentiate the lessons and enable students to work independently. The interactive digital activities make it easy and engaging for students to practice and apply what they are learning.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).

NGSS3-LS4-1

Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago. Examples of data could include type, size, and distributions of fossil organisms. Examples of fossils and environments could include marine fossils found on dry land, tropical plant fossils found in Arctic areas, and fossils of extinct organisms. Assessment does not include identification of specific fossils or present plants and animals. Assessment is limited to major fossil types and relative ages.

NGSS3-LS4-3

Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all. Examples of evidence could include needs and characteristics of the organisms and habitats involved. The organisms and their habitat make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.

NGSS3-LS4-2

Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing. Examples of cause and effect relationships could be plants that have larger thorns than other plants may be less likely to be eaten by predators; and, animals that have better camouflage coloration than other animals may be more likely to survive and therefore more likely to leave offspring.

NGSS3-LS4-4

Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change. Examples of environmental changes could include changes in land characteristics, water distribution, temperature, food, and other organisms. Assessment is limited to a single environmental change. Assessment does not include the greenhouse effect or climate change.
