Before beginning the Decomposers Unit, you need to decide what to teach and importantly, what not to teach! Use this page to choose the unit sequence that’s most appropriate for your students.
- Some activities are REPEATING ACTIVITIES (
). Omit these activities if students have already completed them in another unit (unless you’d like students to repeat them as review). - Other activities are TWO-TURTLE ACTIVITIES (
), which place a higher demand on students. Decide whether the higher demand required by these activities will be useful or distracting for your students. The Carbon TIME Turtle Trails Document document provides further info about choices for making units more or less demanding, depending on your students’ needs.
Unless otherwise noted in the table below, all activities in the unit should be taught.
