I am a science teacher passionate about teaching Earth Science, Geology, Geography and Oceanography and sharing my science material/products to a wider audience.
My main focus is middle and high school, but since ability levels and needs vary widely, materials found in my shop may be useful to students from other grade levels.
I am also selling my educational resources on TpT website but under a different name, so in case you see the same resources there, it doesn't mean that they were copied.

First day of School Activity (Human Bingo)
This is a FUN icebreaker activity for the first days of school. Students will be encouraged to introduce themselves to their new classmates or when you want them to get up, moving around and talking.
For a student to get BINGO, you may choose to have the card filled in completely or just 5 in a row (vertical, horizontal or diagonally) depending on how much time you have available. The prize can be candy, bonus points, or something else.
This version is geared towards middle school or high school students, but feel free to amend the questions to fit your own classroom setting.

INTERNET SCAVENGER HUNT (Webquest)
Are you tired of always having to come up with a new scavenger hunt or webquest? The answers to this scavenger hunt are never the same, as they depend on the day the students are looking up the answers online. In other words, you can use the same scavenger hunt multiple times with the same students if you want, and they can learn something new every time.
DIRECTIONS:
Use the links provided next to each question to find answers. If you don’t find a suitable answer or if the link is no longer working, google it.
SUITABLE FOR:
This product was made specifically for secondary classes, but would work with older elementary classes as well. It can be done individually or in pairs depending on the age group. The scavenger hunt is perfect for a sub plan. NO prep needed.

END OF YEAR - Student Questionnaire
This is a short and easy “end of year evaluation” form you can give your students at the end of the year (or each semester) as an opportunity to reflect on their academic performance and what they may want to differently in the following school year/semester.
You may choose to make it anonymous in order to encourage more answers from your students.
This evaluation form is geared towards middle and high school students, but feel free to amend it to fit your needs.
PLEASE leave a feedback below, even if it is just two words.
FREE Bathroom Passes
If you are (extremely) tired of letting students go to the bathroom every time they are bored or “need” to check their phones, bathroom (restroom) passes may be the way to go about it.
You can decide how many passes to give your students a quarter for them to use when necessary (I suggest 3-5). If they use less than the number given, you can potentially allow them to turn them in by the end of the quarter for extra credit.
You may want print the restroom passes on different colored paper for each quarter and keep a jar or folder of used passes just in case someone comes back later and wants to say they didn’t use theirs.
In case you want to be more organized, you can use the attached chart/table to keep track on how many passes each students have used at any given time.
I hope these passes will reduce the frequency of your students bathroom visits. Please leave a feedback if you have ideas on how to improve the use of the passes… :-)
WHO ARE YOU? Back to School Questionnaire
This is a short and easy back to school questionnaire you can give to your students as a way for you to get know them at the beginning of a new school year.
Students will be encouraged to share different aspects of their lives with you and you may learn some few things about each of your students which you can use to build relationships with them later on.
This version is geared towards middle school or high school students, but feel free to amend the questions to fit your student cohort.

MEMORY (MATCHING) GAME is a fun and motivating game for children and students of all ages. There are tons and tons of ways to use your own matching games in your classroom.
This editable template will let you create your own memory cards for any grade level or subject. This resource contains an PowerPoint file, with detailed instructions on how to edit and print the memory cards.
I have designed the file to work in 3 different sizes and/or shapes, including different backside designs. The template can be reused over and over again.
Please note that this is NOT an interactive memory game. It is a memory game which need to be printed before students can play with the memory cards physically.
Have fun exploring!
