What is covered in this bundle...

● Matter is made up of particles that are too small to be seen.

● Heating, cooling, or mixing substances does not cause the total weight to change.

● Materials can be identified by observing and measuring them.

MATTER IS EVERYWHERE

ELA

Unit 8 - Native Americans

The Native American unit teaches students how Native Americans were connected to their landscape and explores how the policies of the American government in the 1800s and contact with settlers, missionaries, traders, and explorers affected Native American cultures and their relationship with the land. Students write a persuasive essay in which they argue that a chosen image best shows the connection between Native Americans and the land. Students focus on note-taking, incorporating evidence, and crafting an argument.
