BLOOM’S TAXONOMY:6 LEVELS OF THINKING

*Bloom’s Taxonomy is a widely used tool by educators for classifying learning objectives, and is based on the work of Benjamin Bloom.

Bloom’s Taxonomy* for Reading ComprehensionThe activities in our resource engage and build the full range of thinking skills that are essential for students’ reading comprehension and understanding of important science concepts. Based on the six levels of thinking in Bloom’s Taxonomy, and using language at a remedial level, information and questions are given that challenge students to not only recall what they have read, but move beyond this to understand the text and concepts through higher-order thinking. By using higher-order skills of application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation, students become active readers, drawing more meaning from the text, attaining a greater understanding of concepts, and applying and extending their learning in more sophisticated ways.

Our resource, therefore, is an effective tool for any Science program. Whether it is used in whole or in part, or adapted to meet individual student needs, our resource provides teachers with essential information and questions to ask, inspiring students’ interest, creativity, and promoting meaningful learning.

Global Warming: Reduction CC5771

Before You Teach

©

Introductionrovide your students an insight into the science of the atmosphere and the

effects of humanities actions on the Earth system. Global warming is an important topic for students to understand scientifi cally. It has become a frequent topic in the news and civic discussions. Students need to acquire a scientifi c understanding of the role of human activities with regards to changes in the atmosphere in order to make informed decisions about products and lifestyle choices that affect the Earth system. A scientifi c perspective on climate change will also help students separate fact from fi ction in popular accounts of global warming.

How Is Our ResourceOrganized?STUDENT HANDOUTSReading passages and activities (in the form of reproducible worksheets) make up the majority of our resource. The reading passages present important grade-appropriate information and concepts related to the topic. Included in each passage are one or more embedded questions that ensure students are actually reading and understanding the content.

For each reading passage there are BEFORE YOU READ activities and AFTER YOU READ activities. As with the reading passages, the related activities are written using a remedial level of language.

• The BEFORE YOU READ activities prepare students for reading by setting a purpose for reading. They stimulate background knowledge and experience, and guide students to make connections between what they know and what they will learn. Important concepts and vocabulary from the reading passage are also presented.

• The AFTER YOU READ activities check students’ comprehension of the concepts presented in the reading passage and extend their learning. Students are asked to give thoughtful consideration of the reading passage

5

through creative and evaluative short-answer questions, research, and extension activities.

Writing Tasks are included to further develop students’ thinking skills and understanding of the concepts. The Assessment Rubric (page 4) is a useful tool for evaluating students’ responses to many of the activities in our resource. The Comprehension Quiz (page 48) can be used for either a follow-up review or assessment at the completion of the unit.

PICTURE CUESOur resource contains three main types of pages, each with a different purpose and use. A Picture Cue at the top of each page shows, at a glance, what the page is for.

Who, What, When, Where, Why, How

Graphic organizers are a pictorial way of constructing knowledge and organizing information. They help the student convert and compress a lot of seemingly disjointed

information into a structured, simple-to-read, graphic display. The resulting visual display conveys complex information in a simple-to-understand manner. This 5 W’s + H Chart helps

students organize all the pertinent information needed for an expository essay.

Principles & Standards

The NCTM’s Principles & Standards for School Mathematics

The principles are the fundamentals to an effective mathematics education. The Standards are descriptions of what mathematics instruction should enable students to learn. Together the Principles and Standards offer a comprehensive and coherent set of learning goals, serving as a resource to teachers and a framework for curriculum. Our resource offers exercises written to the NCTM Process and Content Standards and is inspired by the Principles outlined below.

Six Principles for School MathematicseQuity: All students can learn mathematics when they have access to high-quality instruction, including reasonable and appropriate accommodation and appropriately challenging content.

CurriCuLum: The curriculum must be coherent, focused, and well articulated across the grades, with ideas linked to and building on one another to deepen students’ knowledge and understanding.

teaChiNG: Effective teaching requires understanding what students know and need to learn and then challenging and supporting them to learn it well.

LearNiNG: By aligning factual knowledge and procedural proficiency with conceptual knowledge, students can become effective learners, reflecting on their thinking and learning from their mistakes.

assessmeNt: The tasks teachers select for assessment convey a message to students about what kinds of knowledge and performance are valued. Feedback promotes goal-setting, responsibility, and independence.

teChNOLOGy: Students can develop a deeper understanding of mathematics with the appropriate use of technology, which can allow them to focus on decision making, reflection, reasoning, and problem solving.

Our resource correlates to the six Principles and provides teachers with supplementary materials which can aid them in fulfilling the expectations of each principle. The exercises provided allow for variety and flexibility in teaching and assessment. The topical division of concepts and processes promotes linkage and the building of conceptual knowledge and understanding throughout the student’s grade and elementary school career. Task sheet problems offer space for reflection, and opportunity for the appropriate use of technology. The drill sheets are provided to help students with their procedural proficiency skills.

Principles & Standards for School Mathematics outlines the essential components of an effective school mathematics program.

b) The difference between cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals is

4. Design a Poster! We read about how the cold-blooded frog controls its body temperature. It might lie on a sunny rock to warm up its body. Or, it might bury under a rock to cool off its body. Use your imagination to think of what the following cold-blooded animals might do to control their body temperature. Pick one of the animals from the list below. Draw a picture showing these two things:

- how the animal warms up its body temperature - how the animal cools off its body temperature

snake lizard crocodile eel salamander

Don’t forget to label your picture. Use your imagination!

5. A conversation between a cold-blooded animal and a warm-blooded animal! Pretend you hear a conversation between a cold-blooded animal and a warm-

blooded animal. Using a dialogue structure (Animal #1 says…, Animal #2 says….) write down the conversation you hear. Your conversation should include the following information:

• the names of the animals (pick two)• what makes them either cold-blooded or warm-blooded• how they control their body temperature• the difference between the two animals

BLOOM’S TAXONOMY:6 LEVELS OF THINKING

*Bloom’s Taxonomy is a widely used tool by educators for classifying learning objectives, and is based on the work of Benjamin Bloom.

Bloom’s Taxonomy* for Reading ComprehensionThe activities in our resource engage and build the full range of thinking skills that are essential for students’ reading comprehension and understanding of important science concepts. Based on the six levels of thinking in Bloom’s Taxonomy, and using language at a remedial level, information and questions are given that challenge students to not only recall what they have read, but move beyond this to understand the text and concepts through higher-order thinking. By using higher-order skills of application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation, students become active readers, drawing more meaning from the text, attaining a greater understanding of concepts, and applying and extending their learning in more sophisticated ways.

Our resource, therefore, is an effective tool for any Science program. Whether it is used in whole or in part, or adapted to meet individual student needs, our resource provides teachers with essential information and questions to ask, inspiring students’ interest, creativity, and promoting meaningful learning.

Human Body Series

Enhance your middle school curriculum with our comprehensive resource that studies all Human Body Systems. Take your students through a fascinating study of the human body with clear, comprehensive and current information. We start off with an in-depth study of both the muscular and skeletal systems. Then, we investigate the organs of the five senses, along with the respiratory system! We also look inside the kidneys and intestines, and then how a tiny sperm and egg cell can grow into a baby.

We have learned that the kidneys fi lter blood. This is how they help clean wastes from the body. For this activity, you will build your own “kidney”. It is really some pop

bottles, but it will give you an idea of how a fi lter, like our kidneys, works.

Build a Kidney!

FOR THIS ACTIVITY, you will need:• 3 large plastic pop bottles, cut in half (you will use the top half of each)• a large bowl or bucket • pebbles • sand • paper towel • masking tape

• small jug of dirty water

Ask your teacher to help you fi nd these things.

STEPS:

1. Fill the fi rst bottle with pebbles. Fill the second bottle with wet sand. Fill the third bottle with paper towel.

2. Stack the containers like they are in the picture and tape them together.

They are now in a column.

3. Hold the column of containers over the bucket. Pour the dirty water over the pebbles in the top bottle. The water should fi lter all the way down into the bucket.

QUESTIONS:

Answer these questions in your notebook.

1. What does the water in the bucket look like? How is it different from the dirty water you started with?

2. What did the pebbles, sand and paper towel do?

3. What conclusions can you make about how kidneys work?

Help students separate fact from fiction to make informed decisions about products and lifestyle choices that affect the Earth system with our Climate Change Series. We take a critical look from a scientific perspective on the changing climate and what it means for the future. We also look at rising sea levels and altered patterns of weather and agriculture which are cited as direct consequences of Global Warming. Finally we look at creative ways to reduce human consumption and output of waste, all in an effort to help clean up our planet.

During the spring, sun-heated freshwater runoff from the River creates a barrier layer in the Gulf, cutting off the saltier water below from contact with oxygen in the air.

Fertilizer and sewage in the freshwater layer ignite hugealgae blooms. When the algae die, they sink into the saltier water below and decompose, using up oxygen in the deeper water.

Starved of oxygen the deeper water becomes a dead zone. Fish avoid the area or die in massive numbers.

© Iraq War (2003 – 2010) CC550919

The United States and other Western nations knew that Osama bin Laden was the leader of the terrorist group that carried out the 9/11 attacks. Bin Laden was a millionaire from Saudi Arabia whose headquarters was believed to be in Afghanistan.

However, President George W. Bush made it known that Saddam Hussein and his Iraqi government were suspected of supporting terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda. In a 2002 speech Bush called Iraq a member of the “axis of evil” – along with Iran and North Korea. He also began to publicly call for military action to be taken against Iraq. He told people in the United States and around the world that he believed Iraq was manufacturing weapons of mass destruction (poisonous gas, nuclear bombs) and that Saddam Hussein was supporting al-Qaeda. The American government said that they had evidence that Iraq had large stockpiles of chemical weapons and was actively seeking materials to make nuclear weapons.

Many countries in Europe and elsewhere in the world did not support America’s call for military action. Countries such as France, Germany, and Russia suggested that more time should be given for the weapons inspectors to go through the questionable sites in Iraq.

Iraq finally let the weapons inspectors back into the country in November 2002. After three months of inspections no weapons of mass destruction had been found. However President Bush and his government still did not consider Hussein to be completely cooperative, and the path to war seemed unstoppable.

Do you think President Bush’s reasons for going to war were convincing?

hen American involvement in Vietnam began in 1954 it was in a

fairly limited role. The U.S. sent equipment and military advisors to

Vietnam to help train the South Vietnamese Army (ARVN). While

President Kennedy was in office there were around 16,000 military advisors

and personnel sent to Vietnam.

Weapons of the War

W

One of the major contributions of the U.S. was the introduction of the

helicopter in Vietnam. The UH-1 helicopter, known as the Huey by the

troops, became the workhorse of the U.S. Army. Early in 1962, Operation

Chopper involved American military pilots carrying over 1,000 South

Vietnamese soldiers in helicopters to perform a sweep of a Viet Cong

stronghold near Saigon. These were the first combat missions against the

Viet Cong that American forces were involved in.

The American Revolutionary War was one of the most important events in United States history, where Britain’s thirteen colonies established in North America gained independence and became their own country. The American Civil War was a watershed event, causing years of war and terrible destruction, but also signaling the last time an individual state ever seceded, and more importantly, the end of slavery. WWI and WWII were terrible, expensive and tragic wars that changed the course of history. Find out the background and causes that led to these wars, and why each raged on for years. Major battles, methods and weapons of war, and final outcomes are all explored.

Major Figureshere were many important people in the Civil War. Below are some of the individuals who were considered to be the major figures in the Civil War.

Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky on February 12, 1809. Although he came from an undistinguished family, Lincoln worked hard to receive an education. He was extremely ambitious and received a law degree. He married Mary Todd and had four children, although only one survived to be an adult.

He ran for Senator in 1858 but lost to a man named Stephen A. Douglas. Even though he lost, he gained national recognition for his ability to speak in public. In 1860 he became President. He worked hard and built up the Republican Party. On January 1, 1863 he issued his famous Emancipation Proclamation.

In 1864 Lincoln won re-election. With the end of the war near, he encouraged those fighting in the south to surrender. He worked to promote peace. On Friday, April 14, 1865 Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. He is remembered as being a kind person.

uring the Civil War, Ulysses S. Grant was the General of the Union army. He was born in 1822 to a family from Ohio. As a young man, Grant attended West Point even though he did

not really want to attend school. When the Civil War started, Grant was working in Illinois at his family’s leather store. He became the leader of a volunteer regiment and got the regiment ready for service. Within a year, Grant became Brigadier General of the volunteers. In February 1862 President Lincoln promoted Grant to Major General of volunteers. Two years later, due to his strong ability to fight and lead, he was appointed General-in-Chief.

Grant fought against many Confederate forces including General Robert E. Lee who surrendered to Grant in 1865. Grant became President of the United States in 1868. He was considered an obvious choice for president after his many accomplishments during the Civil War. After his presidency, Grant was a partner in a financial business that lasted only a short time before declaring bankruptcy. Shortly thereafter Grant learned that he had cancer of the throat. Dying, and knowing that he had nothing to leave his family, Grant frantically started writing his memoirs which earned him a great deal of money. He died in 1885, not long after he completed his book.

Nelson Mandelaelson Mandela was the 11th President of South Africa. He is

most famous for being a political activist. He worked to end

apartheid.

The South African government did not allow equal rights for all of

their citizens. Mandela began fighting with the resistance against

the racism he saw. He was arrested twice. He was first put in jail for

treason. He was arrested for voicing his opinions. He was found not

guilty.

He was arrested a second time. This time, he was convicted of organizing an armed

attack against the government. He spent twenty-seven years in prison for standing up for

what he believed.

His story was famous, and eventually people from around the world put pressure on South

Africa. The people of the world wanted Mandela to be freed. The government had to give

him his freedom.

After getting out of prison, Mandela made bringing peace to his country his main focus. He

worked to give everyone the right to vote. His hard work paid off. He was the first President

of South Africa to win an election open to all citizens.

Mandela worked with many human rights groups after he left office. He also worked to

fight the AIDS epidemic in Africa. He has received the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to

help end apartheid in South Africa.

Africa – Placehich features make Africa unique? Perhaps it is the wildlife we find there. Maybe its physical characteristics make

it unique. Perhaps it is the people of Africa, and where they have chosen to live, and the languages that they speak. Each of these features helps us better understand Africa and describe it as a place.

Africa is a continent of huge contrasts. While large cities can be found throughout the continent, some people continue to maintain their tribal customs and live as they have for thousands of years, preserving a unique way of life. Many people in Africa live near coastal areas, while others prefer the savanna regions, areas of grasslands and certain kinds of agriculture.

There are many important cities on all of Africa’s ocean coasts. They developed there because they had easy access to transportation and trade with other continents. The ports of northern Africa make travel to Europe very easy. East African ports provide an easy route to Asia. The harbors of western Africa provide access to North America and western Europe. The Suez Canal in Egypt provides a short cut from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean.

W

The physical characteristics of Africa are many. There are huge rainforests at the Equator. There are vast plains in eastern Africa. There are tall mountains, deep valleys, and huge deserts in different parts of the continent. The world’s largest desert, the Sahara, covers northern Africa like a hot, sandy blanket.

Why have so many cities in Africa developed along its coastal areas?

Maps are important because they are used to find places, measure distances, plan trips and holidays and find information about a place.

In order to find your way around a map, or give and receive directions, you need to understand the cardinal directions. These are North, South, East and West, and are shown on maps with a Compass Rose. A compass is an instrument that shows the direction you are traveling, the needle inside it always points North.

In the drawing of a compass to the right, arrows point to North, East, South and West. These are the cardinal directions.

There are many types of maps and many of these can be seen in books, in atlases or on the internet.

How to Read a Map

Mapping Hint:

A mnemonic is a memory aid to help you remember something. Never Eat Soggy Wheat is a mnemonic that can help you remember the Cardinal directions in clockwise order.

Type “United States” into the search field and see if you can find water bodies such as rivers, lakes or oceans.
