If you are about to teach your Math or Science unit, I was just curious about how you could integrate your science or math lesson into a social studies topic. My science lesson is concerning weather and climate. This can be integrated into a many different social studies topics. We could study different cultures who live in climates that we are not familiar with. We could discuss the weather in that climate and how it affects that particular cultures way of life. What they wear, eat, what kinds of houses do they live in, etc... You could also talk about what a particlular culture imports and exports depending on what climate they live in. The geography of a certain climate region and the landforms associated with it and how these landforms affect the weather.(Rainforest, Tropical grassland, Arctic, etc) Economics can also be addressed when talking about weather and climate, we could use farming as a good example for that. The list could go on and on but unfortunately I can not at this moment.
In my math class they are currently studying coordinate planes and plotting points on a plane. The teacher would ask for another name for the x and y axis and the students refered to them as latitude and longitude. Learning coordinate planes can easily be integrated into a map skill unit.
Post back and tell me how your lesson can be integrated into social studies? If you are teaching social studies first, then how can your lesson be integrated into science or math?
