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.

This Genetic Punnett Squares Guided Student Notes to follow the power point. Teacher Key is included. Genetic topics covered are; complete dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, sex-linked traits (both X and Y), Blood typing, monohybrid, dihybrid, pedigrees and epistasis. The genetic examples used occur in nature.

This Genetic Punnett Squares Bundle has a thorough Power point covering; complete dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, sex-linked traits (both X and Y), Blood typing, monohybrid, dihybrid, pedigrees and epistasis. The examples are real examples and includes slides over human genetics to help clear up misconceptions on how physical traits are inherited.

A whimsical dichotomous key for Thanksgiving. There are not many things we can do with themes in secondary science classes but this fun dichotomous key just may do the trick. There are 22 traditional Thanksgiving organisms / foods the students need to match to their scientific names. After the dichotomous key portion you can have the students research the scientific name in order to find the common names. Tell them to beware some of the common names are used more than once. The dichotomous key with two different answer sheet forms and key. There is a student sheet and extension suggestions. I usually use this as a cooperative lesson with my students paired up so they can work the dichotomous key together. This activity can be used in its power point format to upload to a classroom website and have the students use laptops or iPads to go through the pictures with their dichotomous key and answer sheet in hand. Displaying the pictures of organisms in a power point allows for students to see more details without the loss of clarity that happens so often with photocopied dichotomous keys. As an instructor you may choose to use the power point for whole class instruction and work through the dichotomous key with all your students participating. This works well with smaller classes, tutoring sessions or as an enrichment activity for the gifted population. If you do not have a class website or technology for you students you can still use this dichotomous key successfully. The slides can be printed out as task cards. I have placed little centers around the room and had the students move from center to center classifying the organisms. I like this activity because it keeps my hyper students in constant motion. Laminating the cards will give you years of use. An additional option is to simply print a few slides per page. If you are using color copies you would only need a few sets and have the students work cooperatively. The students do not really need to write on anything except for the answer sheet. This activity has quite a few different ways it can be implemented into your classroom I hope you find a method that will work best for your class. Please come back to leave feedback for your TpT credit and remember to follow me for free monthly gifts. Great lesson for after state testing or when the kids get antsy before a holiday break!

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!

Electromagnetic Spectrum and Energy Power Point The power point 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. How we see light is presented along with slides for each type of electromagnetic ray and how they can affect human health. I also have a slide on cosmic rays since they have the most energy of all electromagnetic rays. Electromagnetic Spectrum Graphic Organizer (with energy and light formulas) 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. Electromagnetic Spectrum: Eight Types of Waves 1 pg Foldable 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. Visible Light Spectrum: Speed of Light, Planck's Constant, Energy of Light 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.
