Instructional Ideas

  • Plan the unit alongside a similarly themed science unit with hands-on activities 
  • Make home extensions optional or complete them at a later time in the school day

Classroom Considerations

  • Unit 8 in a series of 11 created by Core Knowledge for first graders
  • Requires a projection device for image viewing and lots of copy-making; preview each lesson for other materials needed

Pros

  • The unit offers detailed lesson plans, a standards alignment chart, a table of contents, and a weekly and daily overview of topics. 

Cons

  • None
