Thematic Units from Teacher Created Materials are literature based, cross-curricular, and ready to use. They provide activities, many of them hands-on, for all areas of the curriculum, including math, science, language arts, social studies, physical education, art, and music. Each book offers two or more literature-based units and lesson plans plus cross-curricular activities and worksheets, a culminating activity, management ideas, and a bibliography.
Complete and comprehensive, these reproducible units are designed with student interest and teacher usability in mind. The planning is complete. The books used in 'Geology' (that will need to be purchased or borrowed) are: 'The Magic School Bus Inside the Earth' by Joanna Cole 'Wonderworks of Nature--Volcanoes: Fire From Below' by Jenny Wood 'Eyewitness Books: Rocks and Minerals' by Dr. R.F. Symes 'Brighty of the Grand Canyon' by Marguerite Henry. Grades 3-5. Softcover, 80 pages.
