In this 2 part-lesson, students will collect data on fossil evidence and create their own landmass map with various colors to represent the locations of fossil discoveries. Then, they will cut out the landmasses and reassemble them logically to create a giant supercontinent (Pangaea). Students will share their decision and reasoning on the evidence with their group or partner, along with answering 4 conclusion questions. The teacher will post the correct landmass model key and students will glue their Pangaea into their science notebook. On Day 2, the teacher will read a passage on Alfred Wegener. Students will receive 10 sentence strips from the teacher and will use context clues to sequence the strips to create a timeline representing the historical development of the plate tectonic theory. At this point, the class can have a gallery walk and discuss the event sequence (optional). The lesson will conclude with students answering conclusion questions over the 2-day lesson and writing a summary in their science notebook describing the historical evidence that supports the plate tectonic theory.

This reciprocal learning activity gives students the opportunity to practice interpreting topographic maps. Each student in the partnership will have the chance to identify the contour interval, determine changes in elevation, distinguish between steep and gentle slopes, determine elevations of given points, identify common features found on maps, and much more! What is the Reciprocal Learning Strategy? Reciprocal Learning is a student-pairing strategy designed with the principles of effective coaching in mind. Each pair of students forms a learning partnership committed to helping each other reach a particular learning goal. Each student plays two roles: as the player, each student works to complete an activity or solve a problem while “thinking out loud”; as a coach, each student observes the player’s work and listens to the player’s thinking while providing praise, feedback, and clues that help the player complete the activity. Because of these dual-roles, the power of learning is effectively doubled. In this activity, each player is given 10 unique problems to solve as their coach guides, encourages, and provides support when needed. After these 10 problems are completed (and correct), the students switch roles and the second player solves 10 different problems (with a different map) as the other player coaches.

All young scientists need to practice making careful observations and evidence-based inferences. With this product, you will get a complete year of Picture of the Week activities for students to strengthen these skills. Students are shown an image and spend time making careful observations. After this, they make inferences based on these observations. This would be a great warm-up exercise or a great addition to your weekly classroom routine. You will begin to see your students become more careful observers and you will hear them correcting their classmates when they are including biases or previous experiences in their observations. Students will begin supporting all of their thoughts with evidence (the mark of a great scientist!) Detailed teacher instructions on best ways to implement this into your weekly routine are included as well as some teaching tips. You will also receive all of the student print-outs for the 38 weeks and slides for projecting the Picture of the Week for 38 weeks in both PDF and PowerPoint formats. This product will not only make your students better scientists, but better writers, readers, and speakers. The language arts teachers will love you!

GREAT FOR BACK TO SCHOOL! This activity is great for the first day of school in science classrooms. It gives the teacher a chance to get to know the students, the students a chance to get to know each other, and some decor for your classroom! But because it's EDITABLE, you can really use it anytime of year! Students are given a science lab coat with some basic questions/info inside (you provide the topics or questions or use the examples I provided). Students decorate the outside of their lab coat based on some provided directions. Then they cut and fold to create the lab coat seen in the "Preview" above. Simply hang some string in your classroom (or hallway) and have students attach their completed Science Lab Coat using a tiny clothespin. Included in this product: Printouts for the lab coat (2 lab coat options) Teacher directions Ideas for extension A PowerPoint with student directions (text boxes are editable so that you can customize it for your needs) Students will need: Colored pencils scissors © Science Teaching Junkie, Inc.

This product includes over 40 different admit and exit tickets that were created to help formatively assess student learning in a more creative way. These are different from my "typical" exit and admit tickets because they give students a variety of ways to demonstrate mastery of content. Students will be given opportunities to draw, write, organize information, define, ask, reflect, and much more! All of these tickets can be used for any subject area and almost any grade level. Only 3 of the tickets are science-specific. Each ticket includes teacher instructions and a student printable that comes two-to-a-page, saving you paper and ink. Many of the tickets can be used at the end of a lesson (end of class) or at the beginning of the class (to review the previous lesson material). A few of the tickets provide an option to revisit the ticket the following day as an admit ticket. I typically collect the exit tickets as students leave my classroom or have students glue them into their Interactive Science Notebooks on the left (output) page. And because they only take 3-5 minutes to complete, this is a simple strategy to incorporate into your daily classroom routine to help your students begin reflecting on their learning. This document is an Editable PDF Form, which has a few boxes that you can type text into (if you choose). Or you can leave them blank and print. To edit the text you type into a box, select the text, then press Ctrl +e. You should see a pop-up box appear that will allow you to change the font, font size, alignment, etc...
