Thank you for checking out my product! This makes a great review activity or for a sub plan!  It has three parts to it.  The first is an abiotic / biotic sort where the students drag each factor to the correct box.  The second is primary and secondary circles with scenarios presented and the students have to cut and paste the scenario in the correct circle.  The third is pioneer species.  There are six pictures, and the students have to move the correct pictures into the pioneer species rectangle.

This is a google slide so you could embed into a canvas assignment and each student could do it and then submit it.  It could be shared and then each student would have to make a copy in order to work in it then submit their own copy.

Celebrate Earth Day with this engaging set of 3 Earth Day Planet vs Plastics Reading Comprehension Passages with multiple-choice questions. The passages are designed for grades 2, 3, 4, and 5 to enlighten young minds about the pressing issue of plastic pollution.

This year’s 2024 Earth Day theme is Planet vs Plastics.

So, to help the students learn about this important day, we have prepared the following passages;

• What is Plastic Pollution? This will help the students understand the alarming impact of plastic waste on our environment and animals.

Two passages are paired with thought-provoking multiple-choice questions and one passage has written response questions to assess comprehension. Answer keys are also included.

Why should I use this product in my classroom?

If you're embarking on your first year as an AICE Environmental Management AS teacher, stepping into the classroom fresh, balancing the excitement of teaching with the demands of a brand new course, or simply juggling numerous responsibilities and classes, this resource is tailor-made for you. Crafting curriculum for a full unit, let alone an entire course, that is both structured and stimulating, filled with dynamic activities, and perfectly aligned with standards of a challenging AICE Exam, can feel like an overwhelming task. This bundle help ease that burden for you.

I’ve spent over 10 years teaching AICE Environmental Management course and creating this curriculum took hundreds of hours. With this curriculum I had an average over 90% pass rate on the AICE Environmental Management AS Exam, teaching thousands of students at Florida Public High School.

I believe this success is due to multiple factors, but I attribute a lot of it to the comprehensive and creative nature of the curriculum that I have designed. You can read more about my curriculum strategy on my blog HERE.
