ST. LOUIS AUDUBON SOCIETY EDVENTURES

SPACE

Our learning opportunities have been established to help assist teachers meet the needs of students by aligning our programs with the Missouri Learning Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. We hope you will enjoy the following online learning programs for elementary-aged learners.

Created for classroom teachers using Pear Deck interactive slides

If you’ve never used PearDeck you need to install the PearDeck Add-on to Google Slides and sign up for a PearDeck account with Google.

About the interactive programs

Each lesson is intended to build on the previous lesson or may be used independently from one another. Lesson 5 is a review of all the lessons and may be used as an assessment tool.

Under each slide, there are teacher notes that will help guide you as you use these lessons in the classroom with your students.  You will have the choice to allow your students to go through each lesson at their own pace, or in projector view, you can go through each lesson with your entire class together.

Each lesson should take no longer than 20 minutes for your students to complete.  These lessons are made to support and reinforce what you are teaching in the classroom on these topics.

The lessons are fun and interactive, using the “Four C’s of Education” (collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and communication). Discussion questions are placed within each lesson so that students may discuss with a partner, or with the class together.
