Unit Overview2© Carson Dellosa • CD-109565
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?
Unit Overview6© Carson Dellosa • CD-109565
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.
