Engage Your Science Students with Earth Science Activities, Earth Science Choice Boards, Digital Graphic Organizers
Why are Choice Boards a great choice to Differentiate your Earth Science Classroom?
- Catering to Diverse Learning Styles: Earth Science encompasses various topics, including geology, meteorology, oceanography, and environmental science. Students have different learning styles, and a Choice Board allows them to engage with the material in ways that align with their preferences. Some students might prefer reading articles, while others might enjoy creating diagrams or conducting hands-on experiments.
- Promoting Student Autonomy: Choice Boards give students the power to choose how they want to learn and demonstrate their understanding of the subject matter.
- Accommodating Different Levels of Readiness: In any classroom, students have varied levels of prior knowledge and readiness. A Choice Board can offer a range of activities, from basic to more challenging ones, allowing students to select tasks that match their readiness level.
- Addressing Multiple Intelligences: According to Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, students possess different strengths in various areas, such as visual-spatial, linguistic, logical-mathematical, etc. Choice Boards can incorporate activities that cater to these intelligences, enabling students to shine in areas where they feel most competent.
- Encouraging Collaboration and Peer Learning: Some Choice Board activities can be designed for group work or collaboration. This fosters teamwork, communication, and peer learning as students engage in discussions and exchange ideas to complete their chosen tasks.
- Enhancing Creativity: Earth Science often involves complex concepts and natural phenomena. Choice Boards can incorporate creative activities like making models, creating presentations, or writing imaginative stories related to Earth Science topics.
- Personalized Learning: Each student's learning journey is unique. With a Choice Board, you can tailor the learning experience to meet individual needs and interests, increasing the likelihood of meaningful learning and long-term retention.
- Differentiating Assessment: By using a Choice Board, students can demonstrate their understanding in ways that align with their strengths, providing a more comprehensive assessment of their learning.
- Engaging and Fun: Offering choices and variety in learning activities makes the classroom environment more enjoyable and exciting.

Instructions for using these activities for differentiation:
- Option 1: These pages can be given to students and the teacher can have the students complete all activities as they study the unit.
- Option 2: These pages can be given to students and the teacher can have students choose a certain number of activities to complete as they progress through the unit of study.
- Option 3: These pages can be used to remediate and provide additional practice to students that are struggling with certain content or certain skills.
- Option 4: These pages can be used as a review activity to prepare for unit tests, quarterly exams, mid-term exams, or end of the course state assessments.
