Well, I'm not sure if "Vocabulary Ladder" is the correct name for this. I attended a workshop over the summer, and they mentioned these, but did not go into a lot of detail. I searched online for something, but I wasn't successful, so I created my own kind of thing. In the workshop, the presenter briefly explained that a Vocabulary Ladder is a visual vocabulary representation. So, this is what I came up with for the vocabulary in our Weather Unit.
This follows the South Carolina 4th Grade Science Standards. We "climbed" the ladder with each lesson and built our knowledge as we added to our ladder. I have also created some for Math, and will try to post those later.
I'd call it a Vocabulary Ladder and this activity is terrific.
