This is a lesson for group work that I wrote for my student teaching. In this lesson, students are divided into small groups. There are five stations, each with a different activity that relates to the effect that humans have on the environment when we use energy. Students have 10-15 minutes at each station and rotate when the timer goes off until they complete all five activities.

This is a unit plan that I wrote, along with a fellow education student, about the water cycle. It has content on rivers, lakes, groundwater, oceans, glaciers, and human impact on the Earth's water supply. Also attached is a unit test that we wrote to assess the students learning at the completion of this unit.
