Plan your unit about natural resources used for energy generation, plasticity and elasticity, external forces (applied, friction and elastic), internal forces (tension, compression, shear, torsion) and their interactions in minutes. This unit includes all of our resources about energy through activities, investigations, projects and complete lessons. Get your planning out of the way and start teaching!
This unit was designed specifically for Alberta Grade 6 science teachers. It includes:
lesson plans with step-by-step instructions and options for modifications.
student pages and templates.
answer keys and suggested answers.
photos of student examples.
ideas for how to use this resource in the classroom, online, or a mix.
digital versions of all the student reading and writing pages that use Google Slides. You must download the PDF files and use the access links in the files to get your digital copies.
an alignment guide for Alberta Outcomes in each resource.
a unit plan and a list of Alberta Science outcomes to help with planning.
These resources are included in this bundle:
Energy Resources: ways to create energy and natural resources available for energy generation; biomass, solar, wind, coal & coke, natural gas, geothermal, tidal, hydroelectricity, nuclear, peat, oil & petroleum natural resources and how they are turned into energy; traits of different natural resources including locations, green or fossil fuels, renewable or non-renewable, uses and production; ways energy is used; advantages and disadvantages of different energy resources; before and after processing; comparing regions; Alberta’s energy choices; factors in choosing energy resources: geography, environmental impacts, societal impacts, economic impacts; energy solutions; using the design process
External and Internal Forces: plasticity and elasticity; permanent and temporary changes; external forces: applied, friction, spring/elastic; internal forces: tension, shear, compression, torsion; interactions of forces; designing a fair test; gathering evidence to prove or disprove a hypothesis; scientific method processes; using the design process.
scientific method outcomes are embedded into the lessons.
Ninja Note:This file is a ZIP file. It contains all the PDF files that contain each unit. Buyers need to download the ZIP and extract the PDF files to a computer. To access the digital versions, download the PDFs and use the links in the files.
