This is my "Testing Ramps" experiment, which allows students to test different surface materials for a ramp: Legos, paper, and sandpaper. We did this experiment to determine what was the best material to use for a surface for cars in our model of our community we made. Students will complete the first side of the activity together before the experiment, then do the experiment, and finally will write about their conclusions. The recording sheet follows the scientific method/process skills when conducting an experiment. Step One: Make Guesses Step Two: Determine if the test is fair Step Three: Experiment Step Four: Draw the experiment Step Five: Discuss findings Step Six: Suggest an alternative material for a surface

This is a set of 26 cards featuring a food item and the number of calories that item has. Students can search around the classroom on a scavenger hunt for the different food items and discover how many calories each has. Perfect for getting students to start to recognize that foods they eat on a daily basis have different amounts of calories inside them.

This is a 4 page booklet designed around a lesson about keeping teeth clean. Students will make a statement about what will happen to teeth when we don't clean them, and will write a question about the experiment. Then students will each take an egg and coat it with a mixture of crushed cereal and milk or water. The mixture needs to be quite sticky so that it creates a coating on the egg shell. The crushed cereal mixture is to simulate "chewed food" while the egg represents a tooth. Once the egg is coated, students place the egg in a cup or bowl and leave it to dry. This may take about 3-5 days depending on the room temperature, so it is best to start this experiment at the beginning of the week. On the final day, students examine their eggs, and feel what happened to the food (it should have solidified). They then take a toothbrush and try to brush as much of the food off as possible. This should be quite challenging and may require excess force. If some students are too rough, the egg will break, which can simulate tooth decay in real life. Students then complete the rest of the experiment booklet.

This is a pack of 12 cards featuring different Living and Non-Living things. Simply print, laminate, cut, and hide around the room. Students must walk around with their papers, and write the name of each thing they find, then determine if they are Living or Non-Living. This pack includes: 12 Living and Non-Living cards 1 recording sheet for lower-level students (they must just right either the name of the thing, OR if it is Living/Non-Living 1 recording sheet for on-level and above-level students (they must write the name of the thing, and circle if it is Living or Non-Living) Please make sure to rate and leave feedback!

This is Human Life Cycle sorting game. This game allows students to practice identifying different parts of the human life cycle. This pack includes: 5 stages of the human life cycle display cards 15 cards depicting descriptions of different stages of the human life cycle. (Each card gives a description, then asks "Who Am I?" so students must match the description to the correct display card.) Please make sure to rate and leave feedback!

This is a set of 3 activity sheets to use when comparing a Goldfish and a Goldfish Cracker. Typically teachers have taught Living and Non-Living using an earthworm and a gummy worm, but I found this was a better alternative for those not willing to bring live worms to school, with the added bonus of getting a class pet!

This is a set of question cards designed to get students used to giving answers and collecting data on a daily basis. Questions can be simple or require a more critical thinking approach, but all questions require a yes or no answer. Simply print out, laminate, and cut the cards, being sure to post a new question each day. Provide 3 containers beneath where the daily question is posted, (1 for yes, 1 for no, and 1 for holding counters such as pennies, marbles, cubes, etc...). When students enter class they read the question, select a counter, and place it in the container for yes or no dependent on their answer. Assign one student daily or weekly as the tallier who must go and total the counters for yes and no. being sure to record it as well. Please make sure to rate and leave feedback!

Perfect for BACK TO SCHOOL or GETTING TO KNOW YOU units! These are two social games to help students realize their connections to each other. This game includes 25 game cards, and colored "I Can Connect" cards. Game 1: In a group, one student at a time reads aloud one of the 25 game cards. If the students can relate to what is on the card, they hold up their "I Can Connect" card. Game 2: In a large group, or in smaller groups, students individually share something relating to themselves, such as personal interests. If others in that group can relate they hold up their "I Can Connect" card. Both games are designed to let students see more ways they may connect with their peers, and to encourage discussions in class. Please make sure to rate and leave feedback.

This is a perfect activity for the beginning of the year, that offers some simple guidance and explanation but also encourages natural inquiry. Students should understand that what they value about being at school by explaining what they feel is most important during their day. Similar to a "taxonomy" pyramid that organizes information based on importance, students will create a list of what they do each day at school, sort it based on the level of importance to them, and then create the pyramid. Once all pyramids are made, students will look at each others and complete a comparison recording sheet. This is also great at getting students to see how they each value the different parts of the day, and that the importance could be based on personal interests, what they find easy or challenging, or based on their level or creativity/logic.

This is my "Testing Properties" experiment. Students will be shown 3 different types of materials: Plastic, stone, and wood. The students will do 3 tests on each materials to determine which one is the most useful in our day to day lives. They should test each material in flexibility, water resistance, and strength by having it support weight. Students will complete the first side of the activity together before the experiment, then do the experiment, and finally will write about their conclusions. The recording sheet follows the scientific method/process skills when conducting an experiment. Step One: Make Guesses Step Two: Determine if the test is fair Step Three: Experiment Step Four: Draw the experiment Step Five: Discuss findings Step Six: Suggest an alternative material

This is a nice cut and paste activity that allows students to match types of materials/rocks. Great for assessing how we use different materials in everyday life.
