⭐️These science differentiated passages focus on using a model to describe how animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways. Emphasis is on systems of information transfer. Assessment does not include the mechanisms by which the brain stores and recalls information or the mechanisms of how sensory receptors function.
⭐️ This unit is perfect for 4th grade. It was created to align with 4-PS4-2-1 but can be used in any classroom to teach students about animal senses.
⭐️Integrates key reading skills, with a focus on drawing conclusions and making inferences. Incorporates key vocabulary, text features, graphic organizers, and open-ended questions.
