Scientific Investigation Word Wall Coloring Sheets (7 pages)

(2)
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.

Periodic Table (118 elements) Scavenger Hunt Secondary Science

(1)
This is a great worksheet for getting to know the periodic table. The worksheet covers all 118 elements. I included a FREE downloadable periodic table that I used in making the scavenger hunt. This is specific for secondary students because your students may need to do a little research into the meaning of Latin and Greek words, look up mythological beings and celestial bodies. This scavenger hunt is excellent in informing the students of how certain elements got their names and where groups are found. The Teacher Answer Key is included.

Density Identification Lab

(0)
This is an editable lab. Students will be given ten objects that they need to measure mass and volume for in order to calculate density. I based my lab from a set of ten density cubes that can be purchased from any physical science catalog. You can also find a collection of objects to use as long as you calculate the densities. I also created a file that has six density tables on it to reduce the number of copies needed. This lab only requires a scale, digital or manual, a beaker or graduated cylinder and ten objects of various materials. * You could also include the same materials for enrichment and understanding.

It is often difficult to hold secondary science students' attention as we get closer to Christmas vacation. Use this Christmas themed dimensional analysis activity to review your students' calculation skills while keeping them engaged and in competition. Your students will need to help Santa and the elves move through a myriad of crazy problems brought to them through oversight, Krumpus and the Grinch. A student guide sheet and detailed teacher's key is included. There is also an additional "emergency problem" for the students to work through. There is a second student guide for students who have a hard time creating their own conversion statements.

Dimensional Analysis: The Feast That Inspired Thanksgiving (Factor / Label Method)

(0)
Thanksgiving is a difficult time of year with students excited for vacation. Here is a great no-prep activity for secondary science students which will allow them to compete against each other and the clock while reviewing their skills solving problems using dimensional analysis. I love this activity because it keeps my students critically thinking and working together. In this problem set are seven multi-step problems with questions, a student guide sheet with some conversions and a detailed teacher's Key with how to set up the problems and the answers. Although geared towards Thanksgiving, this a great activity to brush up student math skills in Science any time of year!

A new twist on a dimensional analysis (factor/ label method). This activity is for after you have taught dimensional analysis. Students need to apply the skills they learned to see if they can escape in time to avoid the incoming zombies. You can have the students compete individually or in groups and which ever individual or group gets the six problems correctly answered first is the winner. There is a worksheet for the students, a Zombie Survival Fact sheet with some conversions. The students will need to use the information given to make their own conversion statements. I have included a teachers key with equivalency statements and how to solve the problems step by step. Student worksheet (3 pages) Zombie Key (1 page) Teacher Key (3 pages)

Visible Light Spectrum: Speed of Light and Plank's Constant
mizzzfostermizzzfoster

Visible Light Spectrum: Speed of Light and Plank's Constant

(1)
In this worksheet students will use a visible light spectrum chart to calculate the wavelength of different colors of light. Then using the light equation and speed of light the students will figure out the frequency for each color. In the next step, students will use the frequency and Planck's constant in order to calculate the energy each color of light carries. Students will also need to color the spectrum. I have mine work out their calculations on a separate sheet of notebook paper and turn it in attached to their charts. I have included an answer sheet so you can see what the final should look like. For my younger students I give them the color wavelengths. For my physics students I have them use the chart and figure the wavelengths out on their own. I use this in both Chemistry and Physics.
