In this unit you will learn about Einstein's life, his personal relationships as well as his professional life. Facing many obstacles along the way, Einstein was able to change scientific thought through his incredible and mind-boggling discoveries. While Einstein was a flawed man in many areas of his life, he was not only a world-renowned scientist but also an important advocate for peace during some the darkest days in our history. Enjoy playing Rummy Roots, a fun card game that will help you learn and apply common Latin and Greek root words that help scientists better understand technical terms they encounter in their work. For your final project, you will create a biography scrapbook to highlight some of the major events and accomplishments that occurred over the course of Einstein's life.
This unit can be used independently, but is also designed to be used in conjunction with the science unit Force and Motion.
A set of Literature Units (LU) is a complete language arts curriculum teaching vocabulary, grammar, composition, spelling, story elements, and figurative language in the context of popular children's books. LUs each explore one facet of a concept that ties three units together. Each unit has a primary book that is studied for 2-3 weeks and may include additional titles. these concept-based studies allow your child to compare/contrast themes and characters across novels.
Lessons are structured and easy to use but extremely varied, often with several options for an assignment. In lower grades each Literature Package contains the LU and the corresponding novel and possibly other components. Student Activity Page Sets are not included in the packages. The LU includes these pages (single-sided and usable but not reproducible).
Beginning with Gr 4-6, the Student Directed Literature Units (SDLU) are Worktexts with instruction written directly to the student. Each package contains the SDLU, the corresponding novel, and sometimes other books. Upper levels provide rigorous and challenging studies with occasional tests (answer keys included).
Will use with my High School Literature unit.
