1. Align to CCSD pacing guides for Science
2. Integrate ELA, Science, Math, the Arts, and Social Studies
3. Be smaller/shorter in scope
4. Designed to be "chunked" into 30-45 min segments
5. Require minimal or open-ended materials lists
6. Utilize the engineering design process]]> 2022-12-27 15:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/savana_j_rithmire/h900809kai8secsk/wish/2429430415 savana_j_rithmire https://padlet.com/savana_j_rithmire/h900809kai8secsk/wish/2429430689 Osearch is a great website to use with students when talking about migration and conservation patterns of sea animals.
