Newsela Article Writing Worksheet

Newsela Article Writing Worksheet

(0)
This sheet was designed to be used with newsela.com material. I have students read an article, then answer the questions on the worksheet. It is useful for encouraging students to read an article analytically. I also have students list new words that they don’t know, so that later I can make sure to review these words. Including reading time (which can vary) I estimate most my students spend about 30 minutes on this worksheet.

Simple Machines Word Scramble

(0)
This is a word scramble I use with my 1st - 3rd grade students who are learning about simple machines. I have used this in my English classes (when we learn science vocabulary), and for my lego SPM class where we learn engineering concepts. It is not a very difficult word scramble, but it’s good for practicing simple machines, and should take around 15-20 minutes to do. Note: You will need the ability to open .zip files (which almost all computers can do), inside are 4 files. The worksheet and the answer key in the following formats .docx and .pdf.

Minecraft - Command Block Assignment

(0)
This is designed as a take home assignment for students learning programming through Minecraft. I tried to make it in a way that it can be used for students of varying age. I used Scriptcraft with this assignment, but mostly any Minecraft server should work. Note: You must be using a custom Minecraft server of some kind to use command blocks, so I would recommend only buying this if you are.
Coding and Computer Science Word Searches

Coding and Computer Science Word Searches

(0)
I created these 6 computer science and coding word searches to help my students learn programming vocabulary. I also thought it was a fun C.S. unplugged activity. Included inside are 6 word searches which are all using different vocabulary words (besides one overlap). They vary a lot in which words were chosen, I chose the words based on which come up most in my class. Inside are pdf and .docx versions of each word search. You also will need the ability to open .zip files.

Scratch Coding Matching Game

(0)
A matching game I play with my younger students to help them remember where each Scratch block is. I removed the colors from the blocks, so they have to try and work together to figure out which category a block belongs under, and then (if they want), color the block the proper color. The files included are a .pdf and .docx of the game, and also a .pdf and .docx file of the answer key sheet. You need a program capable of opening either one of these file types.
Introductory Arduino Quiz

Introductory Arduino Quiz

(0)
This is a quiz I made for my Arduino students. It’s not very long, but it does test if a student has a good understanding of the Arduino basics. I would say it takes an average student around 10-15 minutes to do. So, I recommend using this as more of a pop-quiz. Included: 1 .docx file which includes the quiz and answer key, and 1 .pdf file which includes the same. Note: You will need the ability to open zip files to use this. If you are unable to that, you can message me after buying and I will send you the files individually.
