Earth Sun and Gravity | All Digital Learning

What is gravity, is the sun the brightest star, and why do we have day and night? While the standards closely align with 5th Grade NGSS standards, this may be perfect for you if you are teaching about Earth and space in general!

Included in this bundle:

• 5 DIGITAL (NOT PRINTABLE) guided notebook lessons with reading passages included (for use in Google Slides)
• This entire set includes full guided student notes for teaching:
  • What is gravity?
  • Why everything on or anywhere near Earth is pulled toward Earth’s center by a gravitational force and other items outside of Earth with a gravitational pull?
  • The Sun, characteristics of stars, and how they range greatly in their size and distance from Earth.
  • The claim the sun is a star that appears larger and brighter than other stars because it is closer to Earth.
  • Day and night.
  • Time zones and seasons.
  • Shadows, how the seasons play a part, and what their positions are like every hour of the day.
  • The moon and stars and how they appear to move and change their shapes.
  • Phases of the moon, specific constellations, and reasoning for changes are within.

• Seven investigations for a hands-on experience.
• 7 KLEW charts to be digitally displayed (Whiteboard, Google Slides, or Jamboard).
• Study guides and assessments included (partially graded, all short answer and constructed response paragraphs must be manually graded unless you eliminate them).
• Outlined Scope and Sequence for all five lessons.
• START HERE guide with additional tips to support using this product.

Look for the START HERE guide first when opening this zipped file. There is a separate file with the digital links (Google Slides). Additionally, you can assign your students a digital partially self-grading assessment (Google Forms), as well as the same with a digital partially self-grading study guide. In the guide, you will see tips and tricks for what you can do with each file. You will need to make a copy and save it in Google Drive, and you can assign using Google Classroom (perfect for students who may be absent).

**Must have access to a Google Drive account in order to make a copy of each document and save it.

➡ Jamboard™ is an interactive digital whiteboard developed in the G-Suite of tools. They are easy to use while teaching live via Google Meet or Zoom once you share your screen with students, and you can share the Jamboard™ and Google Slide links with your students using either Google Classroom or the Zoom chatbox. Students do not need a Google email to open a Jamboard™ link. Directions for how to share are found within the download. *BEFORE PURCHASING, PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR DISTRICT TO MAKE SURE JAMBOARD IS NOT BLOCKED* If so, it never hurts to ask the Tech department if they could unblock. However, if impossible, having Google Slides will be beneficial.
