Science EOG Review Note Pages

As I wrap up my first year teaching in North Carolina, I have started to prepare for our End of Grade (EOG) assessments. In Maryland, our 5th grade state science assessment was given in March, so we barely got through all of the content, which means we definitely didn't have much time for review.

In NC, we take state assessments the last week of school. This means we have plenty of time to review all of the content that we have learned. North Carolina also has their own science standards instead of following the NGSS, which I have been using the past 5 years or so.

It has been fun teaching different topics and I have definitely had to teach myself quite a few things before teaching the kids (hello weather unit!). I decided I wanted to find a quick, easy way to review the content that we have learned this year, but could not find exactly what I was looking for online. So this weekend I used one of my new favorite tool: Canva!

I created one-page scaffolded note pages that students can use their notes or my unit teacher slides to complete. I also created a teacher model for students who need more support in completing the pages.

As I was adding the note pages to TPT, I was able to connect some of them to the middle school NGSS standards. 

Here are the topics:

- Cells

- Heredity

- Body Systems

- Ecosystems

- Matter

- Force and Motion

- Heat Transfer

- Weather

I listed the note pages individually on TPT, as well as, them all grouped together. I usually like to share my resources for free, but this one took quite a few hours of my time and let's be honest I am not getting a paycheck this summer!
