Understanding Unit Structure and Activities

This video tutorial introduces students to science and engineering practices through interactive Google Slides. It includes activities like writing, watching videos, and drag-and-drop tasks. Students engage in a hands-on investigation using pennies and explore all eight science and engineering practices. The tutorial also covers graphing and computational thinking, with editable activities and lab videos. It concludes with matching exercises and is designed for grades 3-6, suitable for distance learning.
