Science Curriculum Mastery Flip Charts

Description

An excellent teaching tool for your visual learners, these flip charts are big, bright, and beautiful. Each set includes 10 heavy, double-sided, laminated 12"x 18" charts and is great to introduce or review topics. Side 1 of each chart provides a presentation of key concepts using bold graphics and printed text, while side 2 is a wipe-off activity chart where information of key structures and summaries of concepts can be written along with a list of vocabulary corresponding to the topic.

An activity guide is included with each chart and corresponds to the content of each page in the chart. There are also 10 reproducible black and white activity pages in the guide. Students are able to fill in the same information as that found on Side 2 of the flip chart pages, and there are additional questions which can serve as a review or assessment. The answers are found at the back of the activity guide.

These large flip charts are spiral bound at the top and include a built in easel for portability and ease of use. These come from a secular publisher and may contain references to evolution, the Big Bang, etc. These charts are written according to standards to help you get an idea of what should be covered at each grade level. ~ Donna
