Skills & Standards

Designed with NGSS in mind, these activities build crosscutting concepts such as systems and system models, as well as cause and effect. Learners engage in disciplinary core ideas connected to human contributions in health and community services, then practice modeling by using a simple claim–evidence–reasoning approach to organize their answers. Students strengthen analytical reasoning as they compare details from the prompts, identify patterns in the information, and connect ideas to what they read. Throughout, students practice evidence-based explanations by citing worksheet-provided information to justify their thinking, supporting classroom assessment that measures understanding rather than memorization.

Perfect For

• Teachers seeking structured instruction
• Sub plans
• Homework or review
• Intervention or centers
• Assessment preparation

How to Use

Use this as a short, flexible holiday unit cycle across 3 days: Day 1 for history of care, Day 2 for global nursing heroes, and Day 3 for the nurses’ dedication worksheet. For multi-tier support, offer the first worksheet to the whole class, then use the remaining two for targeted small groups or centers while you pull students for quick conferencing. If you need homework or review, assign one worksheet as a take-home assessment check and collect responses the next day to guide reteaching. For sub plans, print all three and include a simple student routine: read the prompt, complete the response sections, and underline one piece of evidence before writing.
