In this grade 6 Ontario science earth and space systems workbook, students will learn to evaluate the social and environmental costs and benefits of space exploration, use technological problem-solving skills to design, build, and test devices, and describe the effects of the relative positions and motions of the earth, moon, and sun. There are other expectations covered in this resource. See Preview. This teacher resource follows Ontario's Grade 6 Science Curriculum. 
 
I'll get straight to the point. Many students don't enjoy reading textbooks because the content is often very dry and bland. Most books get straight to the point, and they're losing student interest. Upon purchasing this teaching resource, you'll notice that this packet is written differently. It's informal, loaded with jokes, and tries to teach students on a personal level. I wanted to write it as if I was having a conversation with your students. It's a short unit (compared to textbook units), but it is filled with embedded links and QR codes, a science experiment, and engaging readings. It has everything you need to cover the specific and global expectations of the Ontario science curriculum.
 
I would consider this resource "low-prep" as there is nothing required of you but to print it. However, there may be some science experiments that require some setup. I've included some chapter quizzes/assignments in PDF and Google Forms. Use these tasks as consolidation assignments or discussion topics in your classroom! The content of this packet is relevant and accurate. It will not impede their understanding!
