Do your ESL students need to learn, practice, and use STEM academic language? Do they struggle with using math and science terminology?

All of the actvities, worksheets, puzzles and games in this bundle are designed to get ESL students of all levels actually using mathematical and scientific academic language.

Using Math and Science language is part of the WIDA English Language Development standards for MLs. While MLs often develop conversational language fairly early on, the content-specific academic terminology is trickier. All of these resources were develop by me (an ESL teacher!) so that they are carefully scaffoled to support your MLs.

The resources included in this bundle are created to support the students' math and science curricula AND prepare them for the WIDA ACCESS test where they will need to be able to write, speak, and understand STEM terms and phrases.

All language domains are addressed in this bundle. All levels, from Newcomer to advanced, are catered to! NO prep for you! EFFECTIVE and FUN lessons for your ESL students! Win, win!

I recommend this bundle for grades 4 and up. The activities are all designed to be grade flexible so that you can use them across different age groups.

4-PS3-2 Energy
Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.

Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample.
