Earth Sciences Teacher Manuals (by date, oldest first)

Ignite middle schoolers' curiosity with our inquiry-based project on imports, exports, energy, and electricity. Cross-curricular and transdisciplinary, it fosters critical thinking through reading, writing, and research. Transform learning with a dynamic, comprehensive experience!

Take a look at the preview to see first-hand what you can expect in this mega-resource that was a labour of love for me!

This 146-page unit will provide you with content, activities, projects, rubrics, simulations and discussion prompts necessary to engage your students for upwards of 2 months in a series of learnings, research and projects which will ultimately have them creating solutions for real world problems relating to food waste, energy sources, importing and exporting and the choices we make relative to our consumption.

Following a cross-curricular approach, I include step-by-step details, thorough lesson plans that will have you and your students deeply exploring some big concepts, connecting subjects, digging deeper, and thinking critically about sustainability and the future of our planet.

Within this mega-resource, you'll find two parts:

• A 57-page teaching guide including a brief overview of the unit, the outcomes you'll be covering, detailed and thorough lesson plans for each day, all assignments, graphic organizers, stations, debates, simulations, answer keys, and rubrics. Many additional projects are recommended and explained for each of the major sections in addition to the lesson plans I provide. It includes printables for all games and activities, research, projects, and success criteria.

• I also guide you on using the second part to this resource:

• A 91-slide teaching document which includes all content, vocabulary, games and concepts relating to:

• Food waste in Canada and the effects on the economy and the environment:

• Perishability of food items.

• A close look at expiries and "best before" dates.

• A quick game on perishability.

• Recommended film and videos.

• Importing and exporting in Canada and its impacts on the economy and the environment:

• Connection between food waste and imports.

• The importance of shopping locally.

• A trivia game on natural resources which are either imported or exported and a breakdown of the destinations of each.

• Energy sources in Canada and its impacts on the economy and the environment:

• Why do Canadians export their energy?

• The good, the bad, and the ugly of energy consumption and our abuse with overconsumption.

• The laws and transformations of energy.

• An in-depth look at the different forms of energy, where the energy comes from and how they're used.

• An in-depth look into renewable energy sources.

• An in-depth look into our planet's atmospheric layers, our ozone layer, and the different characteristics of each.

• A look into protests and laws that protect our environment - and a call to action.

Our TCI science second grade supplemental lesson guides will assist in organizing your materials so you can feel successful teaching the second grade science standards.

Are you having trouble incorporating the TCI textbook, online slide deck, and student workbook into one nicely flowing lesson? I was struggling with this same dilemma in my classroom. I decided to get to work and add all of the materials together into a lesson guide that includes all of the important parts including page numbers for the textbook and workbook as well as slide names for the slide deck. I print these lesson guides front to back and put them in sheet protectors in a science binder. When I teach a lesson, I remove the sheet protector and have the entire resource in hand to feel confident that I'm asking students to be in the right place. This was a game changer for my classroom as I didn't dread teaching science anymore.
