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!

Supplement your lessons on mixtures vs solutions as well as chemical vs physical changes with this simple homework. Broken into two days, thes short answer homework sheet provides opportunity for students to apply their knowledge from that day's lesson. This will help solidify learning as well as provide insight to you of students' understanding.

Check out this awesome mini investigation in which students can develop their understanding of electrical energy, and more specifically the build up of electrons creating static electricity. You will need some small balloons as well as salt to make this possible. Included you will find clear directions for students and teachers that includes objectives, supplemental worksheets to engage students and a clear set of step by step directions. Once the balloons are charged up with electrons, they will make the salt move and therefore will make some cool sounds that the kids will love. Be sure to check out our other science task cards as well such as our Static Ghost Science Task Card Activity!

This 10 question assessment covers some simple science topics of position and motion. Students will be prompted to answer a variety of interactive-based questions that probe students in different ways. With some drawing components, some multiple choice and some short answer versions, this assessment offer meaningful insight into students understanding of position words as well as ideas about moving in various directions. An answer key is included for you convenienv

Add a level of professionalism and streamline your science fair paperwork with this simple and direct form for students to complete prior to entering science fair. The template includes a section for the title, needed materials, due date, student signature and parent signature. Presented in a student-friendly format this is a great way to add a level of accountability and ensure students and families are prepared to take on this task. Be sure to check out our other Science Fair resources as well!

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.

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!

Check out this fun and engaging mini-lab in which students will explore the world around them, and test a variety of materials available to them in their classroom if they are a conductor or insulator. You will need to provide the light bulb, battery, cables, and testing objects for students. Students will then create a simple circuit and test each material (rubber band, paper clip, paper, eraser, marker, scissors, etc.) to see if the bulb lights. The attached lab will walk students through what to do and includes a log for students to track their learning.

Check out this great bundle that aligns studying and preparation with your quiz or test. Covering topics of motion, force, and gravity including vocabulary related to speed, mass, position, directions and much more, this is a great way to gain insight into students' understanding on the content. Whether implemented as a review for the day before or homework or independent work, this bundle can serve multiple functions in your classroom. An answer key has been included for your convenience.

Take your science instruction to the next level while you fully understand exactly where your students came from and where they are going. This vertical alignment of standards is content-organized and color coded for simple reference. Based on the Florida Sunshine Standards from 2008 (still being used) this packet clearly articulates the gap in instruction for certain grade levels, when items are scaffolded, when they pick up, and when they drop off. This is great for interventions, acceleration, filling gaps, and so much more!
