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.

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 Cell Transport Processes covered in this power point and worksheet bundle are diffusion, passive transport, osmosis: hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic, active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis.

I included a printable homeostasis chart that is displayed in the power point.

This is the power point, dichotomous key, answer sheet and answer key which covers desert plants. A variety of desert trees, cactus, wildflowers and landscaping specimens are included. I usually use this in class with my students paired up so they can work the dichotomous key together. Its an excellent activity for students who are not familiar with the desert ecosystem.

Water is the most important liquid on earth. It the most important compound in many science disciplines. This power point covers the properties of water which make it so important for life; polar, covalent, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, hydrophilic, cohesion, surface tension, adhesion, high specific heat, high freezing point, chemical buffer,vaporization, density anomality. This is a one sheet of paper foldable which covers the important properties of water: polarity, hydrogen bonds, adhesion, cohesion, chemical buffer and density anomaly. Excellent for AP and PAP Biology and Chemistry courses.

The power point covers cell cycle, G0, G1, S, G2, and mitosis. There are slides for chromosomes, how mitosis is the driving force behind growth, development, regeneration and asexual reproduction. The power point also presents cancer and other diseases causes by disrupted cell cycles. The foldable covers cell cycle, G0, G1, S, G2, and mitosis in both animal and plant cells. There are note taking areas for how mitosis is the driving force behind growth, development, regeneration and asexual reproduction. The foldable also covers tumors both benign and malignant (cancer).

This one page foldable has eight flaps for a description of radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma and cosmic rays. There are illustrations, instructions and a key included.

The plant kingdom power point covers plant characteristics such as cell type in adults, alternation of generation, vascular tissues, male and female gametes, flowers, root systems and geographic locations. The major plant clades are covered in order of how they most likely evolved or complexity. Mosses, Liverworts, Hornworts & Bryophytes, Ferns, Gymnosperms: Conifers, Cycads, Gingkoes, Angiosperms. A two page plant kingdom chart goes along with the power point and an answer key of the chart filled out. This lesson can take about two class periods, possibly three depending on how long your classes are.

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!

This bundle contains three resources for teaching students about classifying matter. It has an interactive power point which goes over characteristics of elements, compounds, mixtures and solutions that directs the students to create a foldable. There is a worksheet set with concept map on classifying matter. I have also included writing task cards for the students. I also have the products available as separate listings. Bundle contains: Elements Compound Mixtures Solutions Power Point Classification of Matter: Questions, Practice, Concept map and KEY Classification of Matter: Chemistry Writing Task Cards

The waves power point is in depth instruction over waves, Students will learn wave vocabulary, wave forms and types of waves. Wave vocabulary covered in this power point include; wave, amplitude, wavelength, crest, trough, line of equilibrium, frequency, longitudinal wave, transverse wave, compression, rarefraction, reflection, refraction, diffraction, polarization, resonance, doppler effect, electromagnetic waves, mechanical waves, constructive interference and destructive interference. As you move through the power point there are multiple real life examples so students have real reference points they can think about while learning about waves. There is a plethora of scientific diagrams with labels included.

The power point covers cell cycle, G0, G1, S, G2, and mitosis. There are slides for chromosomes, how mitosis is the driving force behind growth, development, regeneration and asexual reproduction. The power point also presents cancer and other disease causes by disrupted cell cycles.

This is an introductory power point into DNA It goes over DNA's history, scientists involved and it's basic structure nucleotides and importance of hydrogen bonding.

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.

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.

Students will know the levels of taxonomy and the characteristics of the main groups. A brief review of viruses is included for comparison so students can see how viruses are not living.

This power point explains the flow of energy through an environment. It discusses how sunlight is converted during photosynthesis and how organisms then use cellular respiration. Trophic levels, energy pyramid, food chains and food webs are all covered. Students will be able to identify which trophic level an organisms belongs in and understand how the cellular process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration allow energy to flow through an environment.
