Description Grade 8 STEM Your middle school students will love this Hands-on Lab to discover how heat is the energy used to cause the temperature of an object to increase. The lab setup is quick and only requires mittens and a thermometer. This fun activity will have students discover the concept that heat is a form of energy that flows from areas of high intensity to areas of low intensity. Objective Students will discover heat is the transfer of one area of energy to another and is felt as temperature Lesson plan with guided teacher questions are included No Prep Materials Thermometer Mittens Key Terms are included MS-PS1-6 Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes. Emphasis is on the design, controlling the transfer of energy to the environment, and modification of a device using factors such as the type and concentration of a substance. Examples of designs could involve chemical reactions such as dissolving ammonium chloride or calcium chloride. Assessment is limited to the criteria of amount, time, and temperature of substance in testing the device. Total Pages 6 pages Answer Key Included Teaching Duration 30 minutes

This is a fun way to get to know your students Each time I reference to Science Teachers on my Facebook page, it consistently prompts a teacher to express disbelief that it’s already time to prepare for the upcoming school year. While it may feel premature, the reality is that the start of the school year is swiftly approaching, necessitating the planning of initial classroom activities. This worksheet serves as a lighthearted and engaging tool to both understand your students better and informally assess their proficiency in the English language. Additionally, included are guidelines on effectively incorporating this enjoyable resource into your classroom activities.

ade 8 STEM Three Weather Snow Lab Lab 1 Middle Schools students will use their scientific skills to determine that snow is not as clean as most people believe. A very little setup time is required however a great deal of science will occur. Most students are shocked to see how many particles even freshly fallen snow contains. This lab will also teach physical change, and illustrate the application of math in the lab. Students will determine that snow is much less dense than rain. One meter of snow equals only 10 to 15 cm of water. Lab 2 Students will discover that snow has the same weight as water but more volume Lab 3 How does salt affect the temperature of melting ice Materials 2 Styrofoam cups Scale Funnel Clean Snow Dirty Snow Scale The third section is a reading for students to understand real-life issues with treating the roads with ice melt.

This product is great for sub. Just print and go. Complete answer key is provided The periodic table is the language of chemists. Chemistry, as a subject, can feel quite tricky to students, because we must knit together three conceptual levels: the sub-microscopic, the macroscopic, and the symbolic. The key is to understand that the symbols are not just another hurdle we have to jump through, they’re something that can help us represent complex ideas. And that’s really amazing.This product reviews the periodic relationships that are necessary for a complete understanding of chemistry. Lesson #1 Putting the periodic table to music will motivate students to learn the elements in a fun and unique way. A complete rubric is provided Lesson #2 This lesson is 20 multiple choice questions to help prepare students for the AP exams. Complete Answer key is given PS1. Matter and Its Interactions HS-PS1-1. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of main group elements, including ionization energy and relative sizes of atoms and ions, based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of each element. Use the patterns of valence electron configurations, core charge, and Coulomb’s law to explain and predict general trends in ionization energies, relative sizes of atoms and ions, and reactivity of pure elements.

**Objective ** Celebrate Women’s History Month with this presentation highlighting some of the greatest minds in math and science. Students will learn about female biologists, botanists, chemists, and more who have made an impact on the world of STEM. Great Resource to decorate your room This presentation includes a Gallery Walk activity on the first slide and provides ample options for extension, including: • Create a Facebook profile for one of the women featured in the slideshow. This is great for a science project. Students get assigned a famous scientist. Then they will fill out the Facebook profile as that scientist to include specific criteria instructed by the teacher. • Compare and contrast the characteristics of two of the profiled women using a Venn diagram. Students will list the common factors between the two scientists Some The famous female scientists referenced in this activity are listed below • Sylvia Earle • Vera Rubin • Jin Teng • Alice Hamilton Here is a great product to celebrate Women’s history month with this PowerPoint highlighting some of the brightest minds in science.
