Description
**This is the Google Slides version of the full lesson plan BUNDLE Ecology & The Environment Big Book. This bundle includes all 24 chapters from the full resource.**
Explore your environment with our Life Science 3-book BUNDLE. Students begin by studying the different kinds of Ecosystems. See how food chains work by creating your own food web. Look through a microscope at the tiny world of microorganisms. Next, delve deep into ecosystems with Classification & Adaptation. Classify animals by their kingdom all the way down to their species. Then, do a case study on the adaptations of the koala. Finally, take a look at the building blocks of life with Cells. Compare single-celled and multicellular organisms. Look at the big picture by seeing how cells become organisms. Each concept is paired with hands-on activities and experiments.
Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
About GOOGLE SLIDES:
This resource is for Google Slides use. Google Slides is free with a Google email account. We recommend having Google Classroom in addition to Google Slides to optimize use of this resource. This will allow you to easily give assignments to students with a click of a button. This resource is comprised of interactive slides for students to complete activities right on their device. It is ideal for distance learning, as teachers can share the resource remotely with their students, have them complete it and return, where the teacher can then mark it from any location.
