This resource is a full unit that focuses on the physical attributes of the Earth. This is a great package that is divided up into 16 lessons. Lessons are 75 minutes in length. Each lesson includes a hook, teaching material (google slides, google docs) and a lesson or activity related to the lesson topic. This package is related to Canadian Geography, it provides global examples. The unit also includes all assessment pieces, quizzes and final test.
This unit was designed based on “Earth Matters: Studies and Physical Geography” textbook written by Ron Chasmer (ISB10: 0195415558). Having this textbook available for your students would be helpful when teaching this unit, however it is not required. The unit expectations are based on the Ontario Curriculum, Forces of Nature: Physical Processes and Disasters, Grade 11 University/College CGF 3M). However this resource can be adapted for any Physical Geography course. It can be used as a full complete unit or great a supplement to an existing unit.
Each lesson comes with attached resources such as Google Docs, Google Slides, Embed videos and information. For each lesson, the students are given background information and directed to what concepts and information they need to learn. They are then provided worksheets/activities based on the given content.
Everything is editable in Google Docs & Google Slides. However, these files are formatted and work best in the Google Suite. For this resource, you will receive powerpoint and PDF files that are ready to use and print. All the files are sorted nicely in unit folders and in order of usage. However, again, they are all accessible in the Google suite.
This is a “teach and go” package-- it includes EVERYTHING that you need to teach this unit!
