Description
What’s included in these 6th Grade Science Sub Plans?
Each lesson in the 6th grade science sub plans is simple enough for the sub to follow, but will engage your students in real learning …and not just busy work. Each lesson plan has a section for teacher notes at the bottom for any notes you’d like to leave for the sub (or for the sub to leave you notes!) All the graphic organizers, activities, or worksheets needed to complete every lesson are included.
-
Planets in the solar system
-
Earth’s axis and seasons
-
Photosynthesis
-
Heat transfer
-
Cells
In addition to the 6th grade science lessons, the following is also included:
-
- 2 Interactive Notebooks covering a topic from one of the lessons plans each
- A puzzle to go with each lesson
- “Just Add A Task” Board Game: This board game is nearly ready to go! All that’s left to do is add a task- such as a spelling or vocab list or math flash cards. It can also be played just for fun without a task. Color and B&W versions included.
Extras to make 6th grade science sub-planning EASY FOR YOU!
- Copies for Students Page lists what pages need to be copied for you or your sub’s convenience
- Organization Tips to help you organize your 6th grade science sub plans
- Print-and-go Thank You Cards to show your appreciation for your substitute
- How Did Your Day Go? Substitute Notes Form. Just leave this form and you’ll more than likely get detailed notes from your substitute!

- Binder Cover and Spines to get your organized
- Answer Keys & Worksheet Guides for ALL worksheets & graphic organizers, so that your sub will know exactly what to do.
Plus, a bonus editable PowerPoint, which includes:
While most of the document is print-and-go for your convenience, this bonus editable document allows you to customize your outline and information to your own class.
- Substitute Plan Outline: A complete editable outline for your entire day! It has been filled out but you may customize it to suit your needs
- Additional Notes for the Substitute: Any other notes you’d like to make to the substitute here in the PowerPoint since everything else is in PDF format
- School Schedule: To make sure your sub knows when to use each lesson
- Classroom Info Form: To give your sub the important info they need at their fingertips
- Class List Template: EVERY sub we have talked to has told us that this is a MUST!

There are some activities that are perfect for the sub – and then there are the activities that need a lot of background information covered. Even working in groups, students did the ‘Seasons’ and ‘Earth’s axis’ activity, and needed so much help from the sub….

Hi Deborah! I created the lesson plans with the idea in mind that the students may not know the content- which is why all of the content is covered in the lesson plan the sub should use before handing out the activities.

We are required to have a week worth of emergency sub plans this year due to the pandemic and this made having that ready to go extremely easy! I know that if I get sent home, my students will be productive and the sub will have easy to follow directions.

This was a great template for what I would like my Sub Binder to be. I was just sad that it didn’t align better to the standards in my state for 6th grade. It would have been wonderful to have something aligned and pre-made that worked with all of my content. Overall, this is an amazing resource. Thank you.
