This video does a great job at explaining the concept of checks and balances within the three branches of government. The concept of checks and balances can be confusing to students at first which is why I feel that this video will help them better understand the concept.

Episode 3 | 8m 30s

In theory, the Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Brach are designed to keep each other in check, and to keep any branch from becoming too powerful.

The worksheet above is a good worksheet to use with students because it challenges them to think about what roles each branch has and also who make up each branch.

The anchor chart above is a great idea to use in a classroom. Students get to see how the 3 branches are distinguished and what is different about them. It may also help the students better understand if they picture the different branches of government as different branches on a tree like it is depicted above.
