Included in this assessment, you will find 10 questions that check students’ understanding of changes to Earth’s surface. Questions include content related to weathering, erosion, and depostion. This can be used as an assessment, a quiz, an independent assignment and everything in between. An answer key has been included for your convenience.

This 19 questions worksheet includes three parts. The first part is a T-chart sorting activity with a word bank (which can be darkened out for differentiation), a second part with multiple choice answers and a third part with a short answer question. Topics included cover what conductors and insulators are and then various examples of each one. This will offer valuable insight into student's understanding of the two as well as the flow or lack there of, of electrons. This can easily be adapted for a test, quiz, exit tickets, independent assignment, homework or classwork. An answer key has been included for your convenience.

Check out this awesome 9 slide presentation that covers the water cycle. Presented in a variety of formats with definitions, visuals, explanations and more, this ppt will build content knowledge for the water cycle. Vocabulary included is condensation, evaporation, precipitation, runoff, and more! Students will love the kid-friendly format and engaging presentation! Be sure to check out our other Water Cycle resources as well!

Check out this awesome project that teaches kids about light energy. We have all learned that a prism refracts or bends the light to show the colors of the rainbow since white light encompasses all the colors. This activity turns it around and allows kids to see white light from the combination of all colors. Included in it is a template to give to each student. On the circle, they will color each slice one of the colors as modeled in the example. Some sort of string is needed by you to run through the two holes as modeled as well. Students will wind up their circle and spin it. I would recommend giving each student two circles, so they can glue them back to back. A one page note taking template is included as well with an answer key that covers terminology such as refraction, reflection, absorption and more. Students will have blast with this project and will always remember how they made white light out of the rainbow, instead of the other way around!

Check out this fun and engaging mini-lab in which students will explore the world around them, and test a variety of materials available to them in their classroom if they are a conductor or insulator. You will need to provide the light bulb, battery, cables, and testing objects for students. Students will then create a simple circuit and test each material (rubber band, paper clip, paper, eraser, marker, scissors, etc.) to see if the bulb lights. The attached lab will walk students through what to do and includes a log for students to track their learning.

Check out this great bundle that aligns studying and preparation with your quiz or test. Covering topics of motion, force, and gravity including vocabulary related to speed, mass, position, directions and much more, this is a great way to gain insight into students' understanding on the content. Whether implemented as a review for the day before or homework or independent work, this bundle can serve multiple functions in your classroom. An answer key has been included for your convenience.

Check out this user-friendly graphic organizer to track various elements of weather of a week. Factors include temperature, chance of rain, wind speed, cloud type and much more. Parts of this template can be filled in based off of visual observations and some components must be looked up. This would be great for students to build their independent research and data tracking skills or whole-class check-ins on elements of weather, as they are learned. It can also be a take-home project for students to explore weather on their own. At the bottom of the weekly tracker, there are four questions that prompt students to analyze their own data. It can easily be printed multiple times in order to track over an extended period of time, but overall a great addition to an interactive science journal!

Check out this awesome project package that includes multiple parts. Overall, students will learn about animals and their adaptations. They idea is they develop their understanding of why and how animals interact with their environment and how their adaptations help them survive. Broken into five parts, students will learn various vocabulary, understand the food chain in which their animal interacts with, the various adaptations it has and an option poster or diorama. Each component has a correlating worksheet and template to set students up for success. Students can either choose their animals or have them assigned, but they will love learning about the animals in their world.

Check out this wholistic fourth grade assessment that covers all things expected for 4th grade students to know. It is presented in 40 multiple choice questions including graphs, visuals, pictures, etc. This can be used as a valuable benchmark to monitor student growth but can also be used as a pre-test for the beginning of the year to identify struggling concepts as well as an assessment at the end of the year to show growth. A bubble sheet is included as well to simplify grading. Topics include animal adaptations, friction and energy, plant life cycles, insects, ecosystems and more. An answer key has been included for your convenience.

Check out this incredible project that is inspired by Shark Tank. Included in this large packet, you will find directions for the teacher, directions for the students, challenge sheet with an explanation hook, templates for each stage of the invention and advertisement process and a clear rubric to convey expectation. Presented in a fun and student-friendly format, students will create an invention, whether real or not, will discuss the need for the invention and then create an advertisement to hook buyers. It is intended to take five days, with clear expectations for each day, as each lesson scaffolds on the next. Students will love applying their learned concepts of supply and demand, needs and wants, and helping people make their lives easier through their inventions. One of our favorites :)

Take your science instruction to the next level while you fully understand exactly where your students came from and where they are going. This vertical alignment of standards is content-organized and color coded for simple reference. Based on the Florida Sunshine Standards from 2008 (still being used) this packet clearly articulates the gap in instruction for certain grade levels, when items are scaffolded, when they pick up, and when they drop off. This is great for interventions, acceleration, filling gaps, and so much more!
