Math Plus Units: Patterns and Structures
**
 * 1. Language Arts: Patterns in Literature

This file is a link to a "Patterns in Literature" activity for all FHSD 5th grade GT classes. It is a collaborative learning project that uses Google Docs. This activity is a rough draft proposal for the writing project associated with this unit.


 * 2. Social Studies: Structures in Government in North America**


 * 3. Science: Disease Patterns**

Introduction to Unit: [|Intro.doc] Health Inspector Badge: [|badge.doc] Websites for supplementing (especially after Lesson 3 of Mystery Disease Book): http://school.discoveryeducation.com/lessonplans/programs/bacteria/ After they go to this site, you may decide to guide them to the "pathogenic bacteria" link here:  http://www.bacteriamuseum.org/niches/pbacteria/pathogens.shtml Then, they might choose to click on e.coli link below which will lead them to more info to help them with their decision making:  http://www.health.state.ny.us/diseases/index.htm

This final site has some great supplemental activities-- "Let's get Small" would be relevant to ratios, proportions, or measurement in math though it's best done outside. http://www.microbeworld.org/resources/experiment.aspx
