What educators are saying

I used this activity when I had a planned absence. The students were engaged while doing this activity.
I loved having several "go-to" lessons ready for days when I had to unexpectedly be absent myself. I had a class set of each ready to go in folders and in my plans I would have students choose one (that they had not completed previously).

    Description

    This science literacy bundle contains 15 emergency sub plans that are meaningful, easy to use, and relate to student lives. Digital paperless and traditional paper options both included. These are useful tools to help encourage scientific literacy in reading, graphing, and making connections.

    Each plan comes with an option to print a class packet and student answer sheet to save paper!

    Save 25% when you buy this super bundle which includes the best selling & highest rated high school science sub plans on TPT. Don't worry about having to scramble unrelated resources together to make a sub plan. Each of these 15 sub plans is the right size to keep your students engaged for the entire period. Each of these sub plans are 4-6 pages long, and meet multiple standards, including literacy, diagrams, and simple graphing. A student and class packet option is included to save paper!

    Check out the reviews. Many past buyers have told me they love these lessons so much that they end up using them at the end of the year anyways, despite not being sick.

    Many districts (including mine) are requiring a sub folder with activities to do "on-the-fly" in case of an emergency absence. I always had trouble with this. Though it's a great idea, it's often hard to predict when you'll be out and what the class is studying at the time of your absences. That's why I created these sub plans that relate to science, pique student interests, and can be used at nearly any time.

    This package contains 15 "Emergency Sub Plans" to get you through the entire year. These activities are common core aligned for literacy in science. They can be used for health or social studies, as well.
