About This Product

Earth and its Place in the Universe - This one to two-day senior Earth and Space lesson package includes the lesson (student and teacher versions of the presentation), an auto-graded Exit Ticket, two videos, and a student lesson handout as a document. The presentation is fun and applicable with many opportunities for inquiry-based learning and discussion.

Google and Distance Learning Ready

This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
Download--> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

In order, the lesson covers:

Earth and our Solar System
The Milky Way
The Local Group
Superclusters
Earth’s Orbit
Galactic Spin
How Earth’s Motion Impacts Us

Included in the lesson package is:

Google and Office versions of each resource
The teacher version of the presentation
The student version of the presentation
Auto-graded Exit Ticket
two videos embedded into the presentation
Student lesson handout

The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.

I also have a range of assignments and lessons/units from other grade levels at my store. Please CLICK HERE to have a look around
