Description
Science Differentiated Passages: Natural Hazard Design Solution – 4-ESS3-2
⭐️These science differentiated passages focus on generating and comparing multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural earth processes on humans.
⭐️This unit is perfect for 4th grade. It was created to align with 4-ESS3-2 but can be used in any classroom to teach students about natural hazard design solution.
⭐️Integrates key reading skills, with a focus on drawing conclusions and making inferences. Incorporates key vocabulary, text features, graphic organizers, and open-ended questions.
⭐️Other Standards To Address in Questions and Images:
ELA/Literacy
- RI.4.1 – Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
- RI.4.9 – Integrate information from two texts on the same topic in order to write or speak about the subject knowledgeably.
Mathematics
- 4.OA.A.1 – Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 x 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.
- MP.2 – Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
- MP.4 – Model with mathematics
