This is a nice activity to reach those higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. This is a Venn Digram for comparing and contrasting elements of the plant and animal life cycles. This includes:
1 venn diagram
1 page out cut outs

This is an excellent hands on measurement activity that gets students up and moving around the classroom, using a variety of non-standard tools for measuring. Students can complete this activity in 3 different ways, so perfect for differentiating in your classroom. Perfect for hitting the common core as well as meeting the needs of your diverse learners.
1. Students will select one tool and measure all the items with only that tool.
2. Students will have the freedom to look at the tools and decide per item which one they think would be best to measure with.
3. Students make a measurement book, and measure all the items with all of the tools.
***Please note, additional materials are needed to complete this activity***
Items to be measured: Apple, book, box, lunchbox, backpack, shoe, window, desk, door, chair, ball, and computer.
Measurement Tools: Teddy bear counters, paperclips, pencils, crayons, links, and unifix cubes.

This is a simple fact family triangle that I took and alternated to work with multiplication and division. This particular triangle is for identifying the missing quotient in a problem. It gives students the answer and one of the quotients, yet the other is missing. Students can color, cut, and slide the strips of paper into the triangle and solve the problems as they pull the strips of paper through the slits.
Each strip of paper has a symbol to show the students which numbers should be together. There is also a blank copy so students can make their own problems (higher level skills).
Get creative and make your own problems, then laminate them and set them up in a math center.

Here is a fun activity to get your students up and moving around the room while actively involved in math. Simply print, cut, laminate (if you want to save the cards) and hide the cards around the room. The pack features:
Base 10 blocks
Money
Word Problems
Fractions
Addition and Subtraction problems
Aligned with 5.NBT.A.1, 5.NBT.A.3, 5.NBT.A.4, and 5.NBT.B.7 CCSS
All these relate to finding the decimal value for each card. Students record their answer on the answer sheet in the corresponding box. Then they must re-write their answers in the next set of boxes, while rounding their decimal to the nearest hundredth. Finally the students must complete the addition problems, where they are adding the value of two decimals that they found in the hunt.

This is a 5th Grade Journal that is aligned with Common Core ELA Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. It is a journal that encourages students to mark, deface, tear out pages, paint, and generally "vandalize" it, while meeting academic standards. I made this product based off the idea of an art journal, but wanted to incorporate academics as well. This could be the perfect thing for your students that can't handle "traditional" journals, feel the need to constantly doodle, or are unable to be creative in their own way when it comes to class assignments. Great to have in a STEM/STEAM school and to show differentiation!
The Vandalized Volume is over 60 pages and is divided into 6 sections:
All About Me
Friends & Relationships
The World Around Me
Keep Calm & Love Science
Thinking Like an Engineer
Get Creative
Each section has 10 pages of activities based on the theme. This journal will encourage creative writing, sequencing events, story telling, researching, designing, testing, predicting, and so much more!

Here is a combined packet of my popular "Life Cycle of a Star" sequencing worksheet, and "Life Cycle of a Star" vocabulary cards.

Here are the original descriptions of each:
Sequencing Worksheet
When I began teaching my Space Unit for Grade 1, I could not find any activities that depicted the star life cycle. We were trying to make connections to previous life cycles we had learned (butterfly, plant). This is a great activity to do with Early Childhood students. This depicts 5 stages of the Star Life Cycle:
1. Stellar Nebula (creation/birth of a star by gases being pulled together).
2. Average Star (when a star is burning brightest and appears yellow).
3. Red Giant (the star is burning off lots of gas, emitting heat so it appears red).
4. Planetary Nebular (gases are escaping the star and it starts getting smaller).
5. White Dwarf (the last phase before a star dies and it grows very small before losing all of its gas).
My second language learners loved acting out the start life cycle as well:
Pushing hands together and packing them as if they are squeezing the gas together (Stellar Nebula)
Putting their hands by their faces with big eyes and smile to "shine" brightly (Average Star)
Arms out to their sides and stomping their feet like a giant would (Red Giant)
Arms pulling apart from their bodies to simulate the gas leaking out (Planetary Nebula)
Shrinking down to the floor to get really small (White Dwarf)
I have also included a student sample to help illustrate the different phases.
Vocabulary Cards:
It has been so popular that I decided to create some vocabulary cards to support this resource. Each card includes the name of the stage in the life cycle, a hand drawn image, as well as a description of what is happening to the star during that particular stage. Print and laminate for durability.
