Check out this clear and student-friendly template to support students following the scientific method during their experiments. The scientific method is a universally accepted sequence and format for conducting experiments. This graphic organizer will hold student accountable, as well as streamline their efforts. This template comes in a variety of formats to best meet the needs of the diverse learners in your classroom. Color-coded and organized into purpose, hypothesis, experiment, observation, analysis and conclusion. Be sure to check out our alternative versions as well!

Embedded with directions, this variety pack includes 13 different templates that can take your poetry and back to school celebration to the next level. With multiple forms to choose from for differentiation purposes, this pack includes various words that are affiliated with the beginning of the year. Students will love the color and simplicity. This is a great way to promote engagement while teaching acrostic poems and building on students' interests! Be sure to check out my other acrostic poem template packets as well!

Check out this fun and engaging creation activity where students can be creative but also tie in research and content development. Students will create a visual of their organism and will think through various aspects such as the ecosystem, the shelter, predators, prey, their food web and much more. A simple and clear rubric is also included for your convenience. A clear set of directions and expectations will be sure to make this project a favorite amongst your students!

This 19 questions worksheet includes three parts. The first part is a T-chart sorting activity with a word bank (which can be darkened out for differentiation), a second part with multiple choice answers and a third part with a short answer question. Topics included cover what conductors and insulators are and then various examples of each one. This will offer valuable insight into student's understanding of the two as well as the flow or lack there of, of electrons. This can easily be adapted for a test, quiz, exit tickets, independent assignment, homework or classwork. An answer key has been included for your convenience.

Check out this awesome project that teaches kids about light energy. We have all learned that a prism refracts or bends the light to show the colors of the rainbow since white light encompasses all the colors. This activity turns it around and allows kids to see white light from the combination of all colors. Included in it is a template to give to each student. On the circle, they will color each slice one of the colors as modeled in the example. Some sort of string is needed by you to run through the two holes as modeled as well. Students will wind up their circle and spin it. I would recommend giving each student two circles, so they can glue them back to back. A one page note taking template is included as well with an answer key that covers terminology such as refraction, reflection, absorption and more. Students will have blast with this project and will always remember how they made white light out of the rainbow, instead of the other way around!

Allow students to apply their learned skills as they relate to sorting and classifying matter based on physical properties. This engaging nd rigorous project will prompt students to classify items (that yoy supply such as pencils, paperclips, cards, toys, etc) into three different categories. They will have to identify the categories as they see fit. They will be prompted with a few reflection questions that probe their thinking and offers insight for the teachers as to what their thinking was. To take it to the next level, students will got o the second page in which they need to re-classify their items into three new categories. With similar questions posed after. The clear directions and guided visuals will push students to apply concepts of matter, properties, and classification. This can easily be differentiated for students to use just two of the columns instead!

Check out this awesome electrical energy mini investigation! Included you will find clear directions for students and teacher. An objective is embedded as well as supplemental worksheets to track the students learning. You will need some basic components such as wiring, battery, light bulb, and then a variety of materials to be tested for conductibility such as nails, rubber, plastic, aluminum foil, combs, staples, paperclips, etc. This activity engages students in understanding which materials are conductors and which ones are insulators. They will develop their understanding of the material that allow for the flow of electrons and will love doing it! Be sure to check out our other Science Task Cards as well such as our Light The Bulb Task Card Activity.

Check out this simple graphic organizer of subatomic particles that can be used as an exit ticket, guided notes, worksheet and so much more. It's simple format includes space for the charge, location, and size of protons, neturons, and electrons. The second part of the worksheet includes students drawing their own atom with the subatomic particles labelled. Portions of this can easily be filled in for students that require differentiaiton of some sort. An answer key has been included for your convenience!

Presented in a diverse forms of questions including multiple choice, matching, and drawing a labelling, this worksheet includes 21 questions that assesses students' understanding of an atom, its components as well as how these atoms therefore affect the physical properties of matter. There are two sets of word banks for the matching to support students being successful. This can easily be adapted for a quiz, a test, an exit ticket (if cut into pieces based ont he day), a study guide, homework or a supplemental in the class for small group, or independant work. An answer key has been included for your convenience :)

Check out this awesome project package that includes multiple parts. Overall, students will learn about animals and their adaptations. They idea is they develop their understanding of why and how animals interact with their environment and how their adaptations help them survive. Broken into five parts, students will learn various vocabulary, understand the food chain in which their animal interacts with, the various adaptations it has and an option poster or diorama. Each component has a correlating worksheet and template to set students up for success. Students can either choose their animals or have them assigned, but they will love learning about the animals in their world.

Engage your students in the natural world around them with this fun and engaging activity. Students will identify and "adopt" a tree in which they will fill out an adoption certificate. Students will fill out some basic information about the tree and then can take care of, observe and track the tree throughout the year. It is incredible how excited students will get about thei tree, protective, worried, and attached as well! This is a great way to help students understand and be aware of nature, tree life cycles, symbiosis and more! Directions are invcluded as well as the certificate template!
