The Taxonomy Kingdom Classification Chart is great to use for virtual distance learning, hybrid, or in-person traditional classrooms. The chart / graphic organizer is for students to fill in the characteristics of viruses, Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, protists, animals, plants, and fungus. The chart is supplied in two formats, a one-page chart which is easy for digital application and a 2-page version which is easy to print on paper. Both can be used in a digital and traditional setting. The chart requires students to answer if the organism kingdoms are living, their genetic material, the organelles, how they reproduce, food chain levels, and there are sample pictures as well. Formatted for easy insertion into Composition Notebooks or Interactive Notebooks. You can also print out to use as worksheet, or use online as a digital worksheet. The digital chart is a fillable pdf form. Applications such as Adobe Acrobat, Lumen or Kami can be used to fill out the pdf. This chart goes well with the Taxonomy Classification PowerPoint. Students can fill it out while viewing the PowerPoint. The chart can also be used as a webquest or a textbook activity. It is very versatile. The virus column is for comparative purposes so students can see how different viruses are from living organisms.

Astronomy Ornament Activity is a fun fine motor skills activity designed for older students to have an opportunity to create a papercraft while using their fine motor skills, through writing, coloring, cutting, gluing, and assembly. There are fifteen celestial objects including an astronaut. The ornaments have a front and back. The front of the ornament is a rendering of the celestial body. The back of the ornament has questions about the astronomy element that students can answer using their books or a quick internet search. Students will color the ornaments’ fronts and backs, cut the ornaments out, and assemble them. Students can glue the fronts and back together. Another option is using cardstock between the two layers for added structural support. I am sure there are multiple other options that you and your students can come up with. These are also fun classroom decorations to hang up. I have hung some of mine from the ceiling and the students enjoy looking at them. Instructions are included as a PowerPoint presentation or pdf file.

The fold-out foldable covers the electromagnetic spectrum, light, photons, waves and their characteristics. the relationship between frequency, wavelength, and the speed of light are introduced with the formula for speed of light. Calculating the energy of the electromagnetic waves is also covered with introduction to Planck's constant and the energy formula derived using the constant.

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.

This power point has 16 symbiotic scenarios. The students are to read each slide and analyze the pictures in order to choose which symbiotic level is depicted. The fours symbiotic relationships presented are endosymbiosis, commensalism, predation, parasitism and mutualism. I usually have my students work with a partner. It is a lot of fun to hear them talk about each situation using educational dialogue. This is an excellent follow up activity after the Symbiosis Power point to make sure the students understand the difference relationships.
