Description
Unit plans at two levels, K-grade 2 and grades 3-5 develop understanding of the issue theme, We Depend on Earth's Climate, by focusing on adaptations and environments of local plant species and polar mammals. The units are modeled after a learning cycle framework built around five key steps – Engage, Explore, Explain, Expand, and Assess. The lessons are aligned with national standards for science education and English language arts.
