Engage Your Science Students with Earth Science Activities, Earth Science Choice Boards, Digital Graphic Organizers

Earth Science Choice Board Activities BUNDLE (Google and Paper Versions)

ALSO PART OF A EARTH SCIENCE MEGA BUNDLE 

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.

Overview of Lesson Planning

Click Here for Handouts to Print

This is an overview of each step of the lesson cycle.  A calendar is included and a guide to find great and ready to use resources to support each component of the lesson cycle.    

Bell ringers & Introduction	ANTICIPATORY SET & INTRODUCTION ·      Plan for activities that “hook” and engage students in the topic you are going to cover.  ·      Make sure you introduce the lesson and ensure that the students are engaged in an activity that is meaningful and fun.  ·      You want to get the students' attention. ·      State the daily objection or “I can statement” and ensure you come back to this at the end of the lesson to review.
Teacher Input (I Do)	NEW KNOWLEDGE IS INTRODUCED ·      Introduce new knowledge here with video, notes, research, presentation, guest speakers, etc.
Students Guided Practice (We Do)	Student Guided Practice ·      Make sure that when you introduce new knowledge, you provide an outline of how you expect the students to take notes on the topic.  ·      Examples:  guided notes, Cornell notes, a graphic organizer, etc.
Student Independent Practice (You Do)	Independent practice ·      This is the part of the lesson where you allow the students to take their new knowledge and put it into practice.  ·      You will assign a project or activity and assess whether they understand the skill or conceptà CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING. ·      The activity should always support the objective and reinforce any new content introduced. ·      Examples: Choice board activities, timeline relays, DBQs, Speech Analysis, Projects, etc.
Closure	CLOSURE ·      Your closure is an opportunity to ensure students “got it”.  ·      Examples: write and reflect, a short quiz, a game, a ticket out, assess objectives or “I Cans”, etc.
Assessment & Review Activities	ASSESSMENTS AND REVIEW ·      Assessment is necessary to determine student readiness to move on and to determine which students need remediation and tutoring. ·      Quizzes and tests are common assessments, but projects and activities with clear rubrics are also great assessment tools.     ·      Many of the independent activities are great tools for you to conduct a daily assessment of student learning.  REVIEW AND GAMES ·      Everyone loves a great game, so make sure you are constantly embedding time in to review and make learning fun. ·      Examples: I Have, Who Has Card Games, Picture Puzzles, Matching Activities, Jeopardy, etc.
