Are you running out of time for teaching science each day with the main focus being math and language arts while science and social studies get the short stick?Well, I just may have a solution for you.
I have revamped a product that I made and used in the classroom many years ago.
Now this resource is a PDF as well as a Google Slide.Use it in-person with students in your classroom or use it during a google meet or zoom by sharing your screen and having a discussion about the animal similarities and differences. The absolute best part of this lesson is the discussion. Kids are so funny and when you start getting them talking about animals and their prior knowledge about each animal I promise someone will say something that shocks you and is funny. Those laughable moments turn into teachable moments where you are also making connections with your students and building relationships.
Response sheets are included that can be printed or shared in google classroom. This is where the integration of writing comes in. You can print the response sheet for in-person students to draw the animals they are comparing and write a response.
If you are teaching remote or if you enjoy using technology instead of paper copies, you can share the slides and students can add text boxes.
Did you know that students can actually draw on assignments in google slides?The image below shows how to get to the scribble option where they can freely draw on the assignment. This would of course be something you need to teach and I'm sure they will become pros over time.
I've been teaching students how to use google drawing during our media center lessons and they have really been enjoying it. If you know how to use google drawing, it works exactly the same in google slides.
If you like this product also check out Digital Picture of the Day to focus on generating ideas and making inferences.
I've actually update all of my Picture of the Day Products in TPT. Here are some other examples:
