I hope you enjoy this Matter packet. I know for me that time is always an issue for covering all that needs to be covered in the content areas. Integrating into the reading block works well when I am focused on informational text, but as we know that isn’t the case all of the time. So short to-the-point units help me to get it all covered. I thought teaching matter during Halloween would give me a great excuse to get some gooey eyeballs, cooked brains and have fun while teaching science. I hope you agree!
