Wild Blue can help get you through the year.
How much is the Full Year Bundle?
The bundle is currently priced at $197. It can be purchased on TPT. This price works out to about $6 a week! The bundle includes 107 products. The bundle does go on sale (20% 0ff) when TPT throws a site-wide sale. If you don’t wish to spend this much money, you can start with just Unit 1, or even the smaller bundles within that unit. View the Smaller Bundles page if you do not want or need the full year.
What does the bundle include?
There are 18 full units included, but bonus Topics to give you flexibility. It is more than enough to last a full school year. The slideshow below gives a glimpse of what each of the 18 units look like. You can also use the tab at the top of the page to visit the Full Resource List. When you visit the TPT page for the bundle, you will also see a detailed preview for all items. Daily lesson plans are also included for each unit and these can be viewed for free using the tab at the top of the page.
Are the resources digital or printable?
Both! This bundle is best suited for an in-person classroom teacher that sometimes incorporates computer work. The majority of the assignments are printable handouts. However, there are a variety of digital assignments included that involve accessing maps, creating digital graphs, doing internet research, etc. About 20 of them actually include both printable and digital versions, to give you flexibility. All of the digital assignments are Google Docs, Sheets, or Forms and easily updated to Google Classroom.
How rigorous is the curriculum?
These resources were created for an on-level Marine Science class. Most of the topics are science content that they’ve learned previously, in middle school or in Biology class (for example, food chains, classification, properties of water, etc). This course reinforces those basic science concepts with a focus on the ocean, which brings in new information that they may be unfamiliar with, but aren’t difficult concepts to grasp. Instead of heavy content and difficult tests, there is instead a focus on reading comprehension, graphing skills, organization skills, and class discussions. There are more resources in this bundle than you’ll be able to utilize in one school year, so that allows for some flexibility in choosing which assignments work best for you class, and which ones you may want to skip.
