ESS2.A: Wind and Water Change the Land (Cause & Effect)
ESS2.B: Physical Maps (Sequence of Events)
ESS2.C: Where is Water? (Main Idea & Details)

Each section is also available separately. Purchasing the full unit saves you 35% off each individual section.

There are three leveled passages, high, medium, and low, for each section.

Each section has Before Reading (three-part vocabulary cards and language development activity with the comprehension skill) During Reading (text dependent questions), andAfter Reading (comprehension with language development activity with the comprehension skill) as well as a Written End-of-Section Summative Assessment.

The activities in this product are great for all second-grade students including English learners and below-grade-level readers. The Before Reading activity provides scaffolding for the comprehension skill using familiar content and scenarios. The three-part vocabulary cards allow students to interact with the vocabulary in a variety of ways.

The After Reading activity mimics the structure of the Before Reading activity and language of the comprehension skill so that students are familiar with the language patterns and need only use those patterns with new rigorous content.

Also available separately is an interactive notebook that follows the framework of this unit.

  34. Maestra Cafe Teaches (verified owner) –

    I love that this is a literacy based approach to science. My district has science kits but we only have 1 day a week with science time and the experiments with the kits are drawn oit and rime consuming. I appreciate the thoroughness and alignment to the ngss. Our kits are not aligned. I also plan on using the passages during our nonfiction ela units. Thank you so much!

  37. Marie Boettcher (verified owner) –

    The links to videos and demos are great. The photos on the vocab cards and in the passages are beautiful. The topics fit the Next Generation standards well. The way you paired each passage with a comprehension skill using sentence stems is perfect. I plan to show the writing rubrics to my students as a guide when they write. Thanks.
