This is a brace map of the parts of a pumpkin. A simple cut and paste activity that goes great with a Fall, Halloween, or Pumpkin Life Cycle unit. Please make sure to rate and leave feedback!
This is a template I used for my Living and Non-Living unit. The students had to select one thing that was Living and one thing that was Non-Living, draw a picture of each, then write the name of the things they picked and the vocabulary word.
EX: The boy is living. The car is non-living.
Collect them and bind them for a class book. Or set it up as an independent activity in a science or literacy center with vocabulary words.

This is a great hands-on activity for 3rd-5th grade students that provides them with the opportunity to research and create their own Lemonade recipes, to then create and market/advertise to the rest of the class. The activity will culminate with a whole class taste testing of the different Lemonades, and then individual voting for the best Lemonade. Students will be involved in ELA and Math related to creative writing, finding volume, keeping a budget, and much more! This is a great way to allow students to step into the role of a "product producer" and encourages active research and studying marketing/advertising.
***Please note: additional materials are required to complete this activity: Lemons, White Sugar, Water, Brown Sugar, Honey, Icing Sugar, Forks, Wooden Spoons, Mixing Bowls, 2L Soda Bottles, Soft Fruit (optional)***

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!
