Land Biomes of the United States: Six Non-Fiction Texts in BLACK and WHITE

By Science and STEAM Team

This resource contains six non-fiction texts about biomes of the United States. It was made for the NGSS 3-LS2 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics.

It covers the following biomes:

desert

grasslands

tropical rainforest

temperate forest

taiga

tundra

The passages were written with third graders in mind, but the information is very interesting and would be useful for upper grades as well. Some passages are shorter than others and have less complex language so that you can easily differentiate for students.

There is a tips sheet for teachers and a recording sheet for students on which they can note where the biome is found, the average annual precipitation, the average temperature, and plants and animals of the biome. Students respond to a question asking if they would like to live and that biome and tell why or why not.

DESCRIPTION

  • All 14 Making Inferences Post-It Sticky Notes Graphic Organizers are differentiated to help you meet the needs of all level learners in your classroom!!

  • These graphic organizers are designed to support students in making inferences using any text under study. As they read, students will identify specific evidence, think about what they already know about the topic, and make evidence-based valid inferences. Some of the graphic organizers include sections where students are asked to provide explanations/analysis of details. Two graphic organizers include explanation/analysis sentence starters as guidance - excellent for lower-level students!

  • This resource is also included in Google Slides! Text boxes have already been created to make it easier for you and your students! Each slide includes two instruction solution tabs for when students accidentally delete text boxes and when they want to zoom in (to enlarge worksheets). It's super helpful for students who are not that familiar with how to use Google Slides or need the extra assistance.

  • These graphic organizers can be used in whole group instruction, small group instruction, and with novel groups/literature circles. These graphic organizers can also be assigned as a "Purpose for Reading" during silent reading time, classwork, or homework!

  • Lesson plans are not included. These these graphic organizers can be used in addition to your own lesson plans and in such a way that best meets the needs of your students.

Earth Day Animals Affected by Climate Change Articles in Black and White

By Science and STEAM Team

This printer-friendly, black-and-white resource contains five informational reading passages about animals affected by climate change. There is an engaging graphic organizer for students to fill out as they read. There is also a standards and suggestions sheet and a graph showing increasing global temperatures.

The passages were written with middle-schoolers in mind, but the information is very interesting and complex and would be useful for other grades as well.

Animals included:

polar bears

sea turtles

Monarch butterflies

cheetahs

salmon

☀️What others are saying about our top-selling reading passages:

**"**Great way for the kids to independently read and analyze what they learned through the use of the graphic organizer. They individually picked which plant they wanted to read about and then they shared with each other. It was a high-interest activity."

"Great resource! I love setting up the cards in different centers and getting my students moving around the classroom as they read about each one."
