Manitoba Grade 5 Cells & Body Systems Unit

Teach the cells and body systems outcomes of Manitoba's renewed Grade 5 Science (SCI.5.E.13 to E.17) through ten inquiry lessons: what a cell is and how small cells are, seeing cells with microscopes, what cells need, how cells make more cells, tissues, organs and organ systems, digestion, circulation, removing wastes and how the systems work together, ending with a Body Systems Field Guide. The ZIP holds 76 editable PowerPoint slides with speaker notes, an 11-slide editable response deck, a 74-page student workbook, an 85-page accommodated edition with the same question numbers and answer key, a 36-page teacher guide with answer keys and a rubric on Manitoba's report-card scale, and a one-page START HERE guide. The sample shows Lesson 1's Manitoba beach-monitoring data and the How Many Cells Fit? investigation. Limits: it covers the cells and body systems outcomes only and has no classroom interactive; it is science teaching, not health advice; a microscope helps in Lesson 2 (with only a hand lens, cell outlines are faint).
