So here is my review......
I really wanted to review this Heat Layered Book and test run it with my kids.
Julie has provided very clear instructions - as she does in all her work. I have many of her products and love them all.
First, we colored/coloured in the letters for heat. Julie has pages that cater for USA and non USA spelling.
Next we cut the pages and each page has a clear defined cutting line and staple space.
The content is aimed at Year 3 and meets the standards in our curriculum.
Students are given opportunities to compose questions and make predictions before they investigate heat sources.
I found that the discussions students had while completing the different sections showed the importance of the vocabulary that Julie has included.
This all added to improved knowledge.
Researching and reading about heat sources and then sorting them into two categories - produces their own heat and which ones are heated by something else.
This allows for independent research.
This sorting task was fabulous for consolidating the terms - insulators and conductors and working out the differences.
There is a table to add a picture for - Radiation, Convection and Conduction. The students then explain how the heat is transferred and how it works.
I liked the way that students were given opportunities to cut, glue, write and discuss.
This caters for different types of learners.
The following page allows for differentiation and Julie has provided a page that is just about heat transfer or a more difficult.
This more difficult page is about the three types of heat transfer.
This more difficult page is about the three types of heat transfer.
Julie has provided two options for spelling for this page.
It is a clear way to assess what your students think about the types of heat sources and even better done at a glance (because it is colour/color coded).
The final page is an excellent way to record new vocabulary and explain your new learning.
A great way to finish this unit on heat.
Julie - this is an amazing product.
