Congrats on taking the first step to a simpler science unit! We know science can be daunting

and resources can be nonexistent. Maybe you’re new to this grade or this topic, or your new

school doesn’t have the materials your last school did. Maybe you’ve been teaching this topic for

forever and are looking for some new inspiration. Either way, there is something for you in

this unit!

We know ink isn’t cheap so where it makes sense, resources are available in both color and

black and white. Consider printing or copying some resources on cardstock and laminating for

durability. The black-and-white versions will look awesome printed on bright paper for a pop of

color!

In a Flash units are designed to be a quick, flexible solution. Use what makes sense for

you—choose pieces and parts to fit into your existing unit, or use all of the included resources as

a complete unit. Take a peek through what’s included, and you’ll be off and running in no time!

These hands-on activities may be used in

a whole-group or small-group setting, or

as centers students can rotate through.

They fully support the included lessons

and come with recording sheets to

guide students and provide formative

assessments. Use one, use a few, use

them all! Each lab comes with a teacher-

facing section with objectives, materials,

and prep that will need to be done

beforehand. The remaining section is

student-facing and designed to be placed

in the lab to guide students through the

steps if you intend to use the labs as

independent activities.

Look here for complete lesson plans to introduce

and teach the concepts within the unit. You

will find related standards, learning objectives,

step-by-step directions for engaging, hands-on

activities, and reflect-and-assess suggestions to

wrap up each lesson.

Inject a dose of fun (and learning!) into the unit

with a craftivity. Each unit includes one craftivity

that allows students to get creative and make a

tangible product that directly relates to the unit

content.

This file includes all of the recording

sheets needed for the lessons and labs.

The first set of pages are designed to be

copied front and back, folded in half, and

stapled to create student journals for the

entire unit. If you are not using all of the

lessons and labs, you can use the second

set of recording sheets. Simply copy the

sheets for the activities you plan to do,

cut them in half (if needed) and staple in

the corner or along the edge to create a

personalized journal.

This resource includes a variety of

interactive elements to complete a

unit lapbook or to use individually on

interactive notebook pages. You will find

elements to match each included lesson.

Pick and choose to fit your class’s needs.

What’s included?

The STEM challenge activity is intentionally

designed to use six or fewer common

household items so gathering materials

isn’t a headache. They also include a hint,

extension activities, and a short explanation of

the science involved in the activity. You may

choose to have students complete the activity

as is and leave it at that. Or, it can be a more

involved activity by using the included sheets to

help guide students through the entire design

process, followed by reflection and extension.

A rubric is also included to help you assess

students’ work.

This resource is like a grab bag of games and

activities to help students review what they’ve

learned in the unit. You may find matching

games, board games, card games, and more!

The games can be played in centers, as morning

work activities, or as send-home games to get

families involved and help students reinforce unit

concepts.

Each vocabulary word is available in a variety

of sizes to fit your needs. Print the full-size

versions to fill a bulletin board or print them

as small as a quarter of a page for students

to use for matching games or in interactive

notebooks. Flexibility is the name of the game!

Included are a few e-books on topics directly

related to the unit. They often include several

reading levels for differentiation. You may use

these to introduce lessons or to tie the unit into

your literacy block. Display them on an interactive

whiteboard and read them together as a class, or

place copies on tablets or student laptops to be

read and interacted with in small groups.

q & A

The resources included in this unit are all in a PDF format. You can use programs like

Adobe Acrobat to open the files. There are also many free options available online if you

search for “PDF reader.”

When printing, check the print dialog of your chosen PDF reader and make sure the

“Actual Size,” “Full Size,” or similar option is selected before printing.

If you are running macOS on an Apple device:

1. The flash drive will show up as a drive on your desktop. Double click the drive to

open the drive in a Finder window. Or, open a Finder window and select the flash

drive on the left side.

2. Open the files by double-clicking on them. If you want, you can copy them to

somewhere on your computer (like your desktop or a folder you create) so you don’t

have to insert and open the flash drive every time you want to access the resources.

3. Before removing the flash drive, right click on the drive on your desktop. Select

“Eject [name of drive].” Then, you may remove the flash drive safely.

tips & troubleshooting

Insert the USB into the USB port on your computer or laptop. If your computer does

not have a USB port, you will need to use an adapter. Or, contact customer service at

carsondellosa.com to see about getting the files as a digital download instead.

Once the USB is inserted,

If you are running Windows on a PC:

1. If your computer displays a notification with options to choose from when the flash

drive is inserted, choose the option labeled “Open folder to view files.”

2. If it doesn’t display a notification, click on the yellow folder icon labeled File Explorer

in your taskbar or Start menu. On the left side of the window that opens, select the

thumb drive.

3. Open the files by double-clicking on them. If you want, you can copy them to

somewhere on your computer (like your desktop or a folder you create) so you don’t

have to insert and open the flash drive every time you want to access the resources.

How do I access the files on the flash drive?

As we continue to learn, grow, and try new

things at Carson Dellosa, we are eager to hear

your ideas and suggestions. So, check back with

us for updates, new products, and more.

Help! I’m having trouble opening the files.

Make sure you have a PDF reader installed on your computer before opening. Adobe

Acrobat is a common program, though there are also many good free options available

online. Simply search for “PDF reader” in your favorite search engine.

Can I open the files on a smartphone or tablet?

Yes, although the files are not designed to be used on smartphones. First, you will need

to access the files on the flash drive (or the downloaded digital files). See the question on

the previous page for more information on this step. Once the files are on a computer, you

can move them to a phone or tablet. The steps will vary depending on the hardware and

operating system of each device you are moving files from and to. Please contact your

district’s or school’s IT department first, as they will be most familiar with your current

setup.

Often it is easiest to use some sort of cloud storage to facilitate the transfer, such as iCloud,

Google Drive, or Dropbox. First, you will need to upload the files from your computer to the

cloud storage. Then, you can access the cloud storage on the device (generally through an

app or the browser) and download the desired files to the device.

For transferring files from a PC or Mac to an iPad, see this website for more detailed

instructions.

Can I share the files with my team or school?

In purchasing this product, you have one digital license. Your team should buy their own

copies at carsondellosa.com. If you’d like to purchase a site or multi-user license, please

contact Customer Service at carsondellosa.com.

Can I customize the text on a resource?

Right now that option is not available with the In a Flash resources. If you would like to have

this option, please let us know by contacting Customer Service at carsondellosa.com.
