This activity is a great addition to your teaching of the seasons. Students will go around the building asking other teachers and adults why they think we have seasons. Once the students have collected the data, they take time to organize it and answer some analysis questions. A ticket to leave is also included.

Have your students learn how to write hypotheses in the If…Then… format using the independent and dependent variable. This worksheet walks students through the process of writing a hypothesis with examples and scaffolded exercises. An answer key is also included.

This set includes two density labs. The first lab asks students to find the mass and volume of regularly and irregularly shaped objects in order to determine their density. The second lab asks students to once again determine the mass and volume of irregularly shaped objects in order to determine their density, but students will use an overflow can to determine volume.

A set of guided notes on what density is and how it relates to states of matter and factors that affect it. It includes a link to a simulation where you can manipulate objects to show how density is impacted when volume and mass change. There is an associated PowerPoint that goes along with these guided notes and it can be found here. You can purchase both at a discount by getting this bundle.

This lesson will take students to various sites to experience the phases of the moon. The activity starts off with a reading and then students visit a website to visualize the phases of the moon and how they change while moving around the Earth. Students will see a visualization and read about the phases and even determine what the phase of the moon was on their birthday. Visit my store to see more Middle School Earth Science Resources

This lab activity for middle school students focuses on Newton's Third Law. Students get to visualize this law through the use of Newtonian Demonstrators.
