Description

A fabulous, ready-to-use lesson for biogeochemical cycles! These will save you hours of lesson planning.

These resources cover the carbon cycle, water cycle, nitrogen cycle and phosphorus cycle. Students will read and highlight an information sheet about the four biogeochemical cycles. They’ll then work through the Google Slides activities, labeling a diagram of each cycle. There are follow-up tasks, including true or false statements, a summary crossword, and more. All of the activities are clearly explained, so students can work independently, and you have time to support the students who need it.

Once students have completed the slides, the Doodle Notes are a perfect review activity. They can also be used for sub plans, homework assignments, and test prep. Then you can use the Google Forms Quiz to easily check student progress – it is self-grading, so there is no extra work for you.

Answers are included for every resource, along with handy teacher guides so you know how to use these activities in your classroom.
