This project is great for the end of the year. That weird time between end of course tests and the school year end is challenging. The project is mostly self-paced and great for those days that you only see some classes throughout the day. Minimum materials are needed! 11x7 paper, lined, paper, the packet, and yarn!

Student will make a map, complete a packet, and write some journal entries on how they would survive if they were stranded on a deserted island.

This product is only the student packet. You will need the teacher slides for the chance cards. Purchase the BUNDLE to get both.

Tennessee State Standards

• 6.PS3.1 - Analyze the properties and compare the sources of kinetic, elastic potential, gravitational potential, electric potential, chemical, and thermal energy.
• 6.LS2.4 - Using evidence from climate data, draw conclusions about the patterns of abiotic and biotic factors in different biomes, specifically the tundra, taiga, deciduous forest, desert, grasslands, rainforest, marine, and freshwater ecosystems
• 6.ESS2.5 - Analyze and interpret data from weather conditions, weather maps, satellites, and radar to predict probable local weather patterns and conditions.
• 6.ESS3.2 - Investigate and compare existing and developing technologies that will utilize renewable and alternative energy sources.

NGSS - Middle School

• MS-LS2-1: Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem
• MS-PS1-4: Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed.
• MS-ESS2-5: Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions.

Includes....

• Google slides to go through with students
• Chance cards to print out

Make reviewing the parts of the skin fun with this engaging hands-on 3D diorama science craft project! Students learn about the skin layers and then decorate a shoe box based on what they learned! Students are responsible for decorating the box and putting a creative scene inside that represents the parts of human skin. Students love it when they get to do projects and make their learning come to life!

Here’s what you’ll get:

• pre-colored pages for a quick cut and prep
• black and white pages for students to color their own background and pieces, cut, and decorate
• rubric for easy grading
• research page for students to record their learning
• planning page for students to map out how they want their diorama to look

What is a diorama?

A diorama is a three-dimensional scene built to illustrate a topic. Dioramas are small scenes created with layers of materials. A diorama can be made out of a shoe box or similar box that includes a variety of information and pictures about a topic.

Students create a diorama by cutting, coloring, painting, and gluing pieces inside the box to create a model that shows a situation, such as a historical event or animals in their natural environment. Students can be encouraged to add real features such as grass, sand, sticks, etc.

The dioramas do not come with specific assembly instructions. Students should learn about the parts of the skin first, and use the pieces within this resource to creatively build their own unique diorama! This is a fun way for students to learn and get hands-on with the lesson/topic.

Prep is quick and easy... print the pieces on cardstock for durability and let your students explore the water as an enrichment activity to your lesson plan.

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Madeline L. says, "Great resource to use when teaching young learners about the skin layers and their functions and components."
