This product has been updated with new graphics and fonts as of August 5, 2015! Check out the preview up top!
This product includes 44 words chosen based on the
4th Grade Next Generation Life Science Standards. These cards were used for the following units:
Heredity & Learning, Food Chains, Life Cycles, Plant and Animal Reproduction, & Seasonal Changes
I have used these vocabulary words in my classroom on my Science bulletin board in order to help support student learning. Each slide or page is 8.5x11 and includes two cards/words on each page.
In my classroom, I cut the cards out and then glued onto construction paper (green). To help make the cards last longer, I highly recommend laminating. The following words are included in this product. I would love to hear feedback if you feel any other words should be included.
