Coloring pages have recently become a huge hit all over the world. In my new series of word wall coloring pages, you can bring the excitement of coloring into your middle school and high school science classrooms.
This set includes the words: hypothesis, experiment, constant, variable, data, research, and a blank document for student-designed words.
Word Walls are an instructional tool used primarily in the elementary classroom. While teaching in Texas my administrators decided they wanted secondary teachers to use the tool as well. It was a great success on many levels. Students took time learning about their word and creating a design for it. I always displayed all the words and the students took great pride in seeing their work displayed. The students also enjoyed looking at each other’s work. I noticed over time that my students would frequently look at the wall while we working. Especially during pop quizzes or bell work. The word wall truly helped my students to remember their vocabulary words and seeing them displayed all the time in class made it easier for them to refresh their memory when necessary.
Each word wall poster has a word wall art graphic that students can color. There is a designated box to write the scientific definitions, synonyms or examples, antonyms or nonexamples and space to write a sentence using the word.
I developed word wall coloring pages for my students who struggled with what to draw and write when working on word walls. I always offer a blank template for my self-motivated artists, but the coloring pages allowed my students who struggle with a means for creating a beautiful piece of word wall art as well.
My favorite way to use word walls includes after a test, to introduce new vocabulary in a relaxing format, sub work or as extra credit. They are also a fun way to revisit words student’s struggle with.
In your file, you will receive the word wall word/words you purchased plus the blank template.
Please feel free to tag me on Instagram (@MizzzFostersClass) to show off your students’ work.
There are three foldables in this bundle all cetered around gas laws. The first two cover temperature and prssure conversions with practice problems. The third is over six gas laws.
Temperature Conversion Brochure:
The temperature conversion foldable works great for learning about temperature, thermodynamic units, gas laws and anywhere students need to convert between temperature units. The units covered are Celsius, Kelvin and Fahrenheit.
The brochure has places where students record notes, fill out a formula conversion table and has practice temperature conversion problems.
The teacher key is detailed. This brochure can easily be glued into composition notebooks, spiral notebooks or placed into a folder.
Gas Pressure Conversion Foldable:
This brochure foldable is an excellent math foundation lesson going into gas laws. Students will look at diagrams depicting different gas pressures, learn about Dalton's Partial Pressure Law and how to solve for total pressure.
Inside students will learn to convert gas pressure units; Atm, Psi, Torr, mmHg, Pa and kPa with 14 practice problems.
A detailed teacher key is included with examples of how the equation should be set up.
Gas Laws Fold-out Foldable:
The Gas Laws foldable starts with an overview of gas law specific vocabulary, a look at the relationships between gas pressure, temperature, volume and gas particles. There is a section for various gas constants based on pressure units. The inside of the foldable goes over the gas formulas for Boyle's Law, Charles Law, Gay-Lussac Law, Comined Gas Law, Avogadro's Law and Ideal Gas Law.
Each gas law has an example problem that you can work with your students. The teacher's key is detailed with the steps on how to solve each problem including the temperature conversions to Kelvins.
You can also purchase the resources separately.

This graphic organizer covers the precursors to teaching stoichiometry.
The students begin reviewing atomic mass, molar mass, moles and Avogadro's number. Each definition is coupled with practice problems for the students to solve. The next concept is percent composition. there are instructions on how to solve percent composition from the compounds formula and from masses given.
The last two concepts covered are empirical formulas and molecular formulas. Again there are practice problems you can solve with your class. I have included detailed teachers key and the foldable easily fits into a composition notebook or spiral ring notebook to complete an interactive notebook.
This is a single page brochure foldable which covers introductory characteristics of waves. Students will define words such as amplitude, wavelength, crest, trough, frequency, period, velocity, line of equilibrium, compression, and rarefraction.
Students will look at the period and wave equations and define the components. Students will also label the parts of a transverse wave train and longitudinal wave. This brochure can be easily glued into a composition notebook or spiral ring notebook.
This is a simple one page foldable you photocopy front to back and have the students fold into a three section brochure. A detailed teacher's key is included.
This is a one page foldable which is photocopied front to back. It gives students a overview of chemical reactions. The Law of Conservation of Matter / Mass, balancing chemical reactions, coefficients, subscripts , reactants and products are all covered.
Students will be able to identify the parts of a chemical reaction and count atoms to make sure they are balanced for the reactant and product sides.
This file contains three chemical reaction foldables. Each one has a student and teacher version.
The Three Foldable Bundle includes:
INTRODUCTION TO CHEMICAL REACTIONS
This is a one page foldable which is photocopied front to back. It gives students a overview of chemical reactions. The Law of Conservation of Matter / Mass, balancing chemical reactions, coefficients, subscripts , reactants and products are all covered.
Students will be able to identify the parts of a chemical reaction and count atoms to make sure they are balanced for the reactant and product sides.
TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS
This foldable covers six types of chemical reactions; synthesis. decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, combustion and acid / base reactions.
Student sheet allows for definitions and student notes. The teacher key has the answers and is set up just like the student printable for ease of grading and checking notes.
There is also a half page dichotomy key that students can use while they are classifying chemical reactions. It is is a series of yes / no questions that will guide the students to correctly labeling their chemical reactions.
EVIDENCES FOR CHEMICAL REACTIONS
This one page graphic organizer covers eight evidences of chemical reactions; color change, odor change, temperature change, indicator change, gas formation, precipitate formation, composition change and the irreversibility of chemical reactions.
The foldable is simple to photocopy front to back. The students have areas to draw examples they can relate to and the teacher key includes common instances of chemical reactions students will be able to identify with.
The inside portion of the foldable has places for students to write descriptions and list examples of each type of chemical reaction evidence.

This intensive Chemistry fold-out foldable covers the different types of compounds: binary ionic, binary covalent, metallic compounds, ternary compounds and acids. How to write chemical formula and how to write the names of each type of chemical compound is covered. the students have space to write in their answers and so some sample problems. Teachers can teach this foldable in any order.
I have taught writing formulas first, but I have also taught naming chemical compounds first.Both techniques work well with this foldable since students have everything they need readily available.
Complete teacher key is included.
This Christmas greeting card activity comes with three different student worksheets and three different sets of elements to create a Christmas greeting card. Excellent activity for after fall finals or on crazy days where students are full of energy.
Each card design has been assigned a symbol so you will know which card the students should assemble. You can also choose to only use one design. For students who do not celebrate Christmas the Snowman can be used.
I have included a key for the student worksheets and a teacher guide that has pictures of the finished product.
