NGSS "I Can" Statements

I cannot take credit for this, but I learned in a seminar about 3D learning a way to write "I can" statements for students using the NGSS language. It is a pretty slick formula!

I can SEP about DCI BY CC.

Science and engineering practices are almost the "why" we do it. The disciplinary core ideas are what we are learning. Finally, the crosscutting concepts are how we learn about the scientific concept.

I put these into my lesson plans, in my slides, and in student note packets/worksheets. (Administrators love it!)

Sale!

I am throwing a sale on all items found in my Teachers Pay Teachers store! See the graphic below for more information!

Nitrogen and Carbon Cycle Foldable

I was inspired to create foldables for my 6th graders on the carbon and nitrogen cycles after viewing one created by the blog " The Inspired Classroom ". She had created a much cuter one for the water cycle. Please forgive my pictures, descriptions, and handwriting. :) If you would like a free copy of the nitrogen foldable or carbon foldable , you can find it at My Teachers Pay Teachers.

Biomes Foldable

I had way too much fun making this. My students are going to be learning about these biomes next and I created this example of the finished product and one with the pictures/words without the cuts. I photocopied the sheet and shrunk it to 75%. The students will cut it out, fold down the extra space on the left side, and glue it in their notebooks. Underneath each tab, they will write characteristics of the biomes. I am clearly on a foldable kick! Thank you snow days. :) I did create a digital version of this for you to download on my Teacher Pay Teachers. It's free!
