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)

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 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
Students will color, cut, and paste all the pictures based into where they fit. If they belong to the animal life cycle, plant life cycle, or can apply to both. These pictures include different phases of the life cycles as well as notable parts, and things they need to survive.
There should be 8 pictures for each life cycle, and 4 for both. The ones for both are: water, grow, change, and air.

This is a great activity as a summative assessment for a space unit. The brochure should be folded into thirds, featuring "Space Travel Brochure" as the front. This brochure includes:
What to bring in space? activity where students name 5 things astronauts need, and then will draw lines to match the words to the astronaut picture.
What will we see in space? activity where students will write the names of the 8 planets.
Some planets we will visit are? map where students shall draw the 8 planets and label them in their correct order from the Sun.
There is a sample brochure included for reference. Please make sure to check out my blog and see ideas from my "Space Day".

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.)

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 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.
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 4 mini instruction books explaining with pictures how to build 4 different types of circuits. Most circuit kits at schools come with these items, but I purchased each item from Amazon, Home Depot and Radio Shack for my circuit centers. My students will each have a box to work with containing different parts of circuits, and they will then use the instruction book to assemble the circuit.
***PLEASE NOTE: Additional materials are needed if you want to set up your own circuit centers***
Light Circuit: Low watt bulb, matching bulb holder, 2 alligator clips with wires, and a 9V battery
Solar Light Circuit: 3v solar panel (Amazon) and a 3v LED light
Motion Circuit: 3v motor (Amazon) and a 3v coin cell battery
Sound Circuit: 3v buzzer (Amazon) and a 3v coin cell battery
Simply print out the pages, cut, laminate, and bind to make mini books. Each book contains visual steps, as well as a description of what to do.
Set these up in an independent science center as well!

This is my "Rolling Balls" experiment. Students will be shown 3 different types of balls:
Baseball, soccer ball, and football. Students will take each ball and roll it down a type of ramp, marking how far each ball rolls. This experiment is designed to look at the shape of an item and talk about how it affects the way something moves.
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 item to roll
This is a template that takes a basic understanding of circuits and applies it to real world application by building a simple computer. Great for a STEM extension activity. Computer languages are based on code; a series of combinations of 0 and 1. This circuit allows students to try their hand at making basic computer language with circuits and switches.
This packet includes:
1 template
1 introduction page
4 step instructions
(**Please note that you will need the selected materials per student to complete this activity, all of which can be purchased at local stores or on Amazon: 3v coin cell battery, Diode LED lights, roll of 5mm copper tape, pennies, and binder clips)
