12 quotes--from Carl Sagan's photo of the dot to the first photo of Earth from space...all the way to the quotes from Mrs. Turton about the scientific method. Colorful Jellyfish (or space) photos fill the background. Great for classroom decorations, or to act as a companion to a novel study of The Thing About Jellyfish!

Great simplified worksheet to go with the pHet simulation for Greenhouse gases. Must have a java-enabled device in order to run the simulation. Link to sim is below, enjoy this free resource! https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/legacy/greenhouse

Students fill out a chart with information about the layers of the atmosphere, and then they are able to create their own "Shrinky Dink" using shrink plastic (plastic not included). They can either trace the diagram on the left side of the page, or they can draw it from scratch! After they draw it with colored pencils or fine point permanent marker, they can put it in the oven and watch it shrink! (I use a toaster oven in my classroom and do them one at a time, as the kids finish. They love watching them shrink! Shrink plastic best price I have found: School Specialty this Grafix brand: https://store.schoolspecialty.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?minisite=10206&item=3185038 I cut the shrink plastic into 1/4's and it works out great!

Cut, paste, fold and draw in order to create two different pages for an Interactive Science Notebook. Page 1 includes Natural Resources vs. Manmade Resources and "Where would you find?" different types of resources. Page 2 includes a pair of envelopes, one that is for items that come from animals and the other for items that come from plants. Students cut out the names of different resources and place them in either the plant or animal envelope. It also includes another flower foldable that identifies 6 different energy sources and identifies them as renewable or nonrenewable. See thumbnails to see a set of finished pages as well as the original reproducibles.

27 cards to sort into categories-does the picture reprsesent kinetic energy, potential energy, or are both represented?

Students answer four vocabulary completion questions and then analyze scenarios to calculate net force, determine the direction the box is moving, and whether it is a balanced or unbalanced force. 20 questions, answer key provided.

Students create THREE examples of energy conversions. On the front cover they define Law of Conservation of Energy and Energy Conversion. Two completed examples are included. Illustrate and describe your energy conversion! Rubric included!

This is an energy conversions/heat transfer test modified for my ESOL students (more specifically I used it with my IEL students). It is modified to have fewer words, a thinking map with pre-filled in boxes, different word banks and pictures. Included is an answer key.

Students play an exciting game of I Have/Who Has? with terms related to the water cycle and fresh water. 24 question cards

Quick lab in which students set up layers of sediment, mix them up, add water and then shake. The top is cut off and the sediment is allowed to dry out, and students examine the layers/results.

Students complete a 20 meter run and use the data to calculate their velocity and then they calculate their acceleration. Students use the data to graph their results. Great lab--only requires a stopwatch (or digital timer), graph paper, a meter stick to measure out your "track," and tape to mark the 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 meter marks.

This is a great resource for students to glue into their interactive science notebooks. Page one includes a brief reading with information introducing students to the concepts of potential and kinetic energy. Students then define key terms, answer questions and interpret diagrams. The resource gets glued into their notebooks as an excellent study guide. Great for teachers who do not have textbook sets to send home with their students!

Create a foldable that allows students to take notes on the parts of waves. On the front cover label the parts, lift the flap and take notes! Product includes a cover page, blank template for students, labeled template and answer key. Also, you can increase the depth for high school or decrease for elementary!

This is a great project for STORMS! Students are handed one of four storms (just photocopy, cut and pass out) and they research the causes/effects, regions affected, storm preparedness, etc. Then, students can use their research to create an infographic (example attached), PowerPoint, Prezi, Booklet, e-Book, Poster, etc. The possibilities are endless, as this is a very open-ended project. Four storms included: Tornado Hurricane Blizzard Thunderstorm Each checklist is 1/2 Sheet. Each graphic organizer is a full page, but students can choose the one that they like the best.

Great study guide for students to fill in and study to prepare for an exam!

Great game of I have, who has? Students answer questions about soil conservation, soil particles, soil formation, and soil horizon layers. 24 cards total.

Students identify fronts, weather patterns, and air masses in this fun, individual or group, PowerPoint game! Embed on your website so kids can practice. Programmed to alert kids to correct answer, etc.

Five formative assessments/openers about light. Two are vocabulary matching, one is putting the visible light spectrum in order, one is naming what color is reflected when you see an object, and the other is identifying pictures as reflection or refraction.

Seven stations for your students to explore magnets. 1. Magnetic or Not? Students make predictions and then test magnets on different items to see if they are magnetic. 2. Floating Ring Magnets: Students stack ring magnets so that they float and make observations about their interactions. 3. How Many Paperclips? Students test different magnets' strength to see how many paperclips they can pick up. 4. Magnetic Field Demonstrators: Students use magnets and field demonstrators to generate a magnetic field and then draw three representations of what they observe. 5. Iron in cereal: Students pull iron out of iron fortified cereal and make observations. 6. Is the Magnet Strong Enough? Students put paper and other substances between the magnet and paperclips to see if the magnets will still work. 7. Magnets and compasses: Students test the effect of magnets on compass. Includes a sign with directions for each station. Materials: Various magnets--Bar, Ring, Covered ring, Cow magnets, Horseshoe Magnets Cereals that are iron fortified Paper clips Various types of paper (cardboard, construction paper, lined paper, computer paper, file folder) Compasses Ring magnets and a straw Magnetic Field Demonstrator OR iron filings in a baggie/on a piece of paper

A one-page doodle that includes the basic information students need to know about winds: convection currents, global winds, sea breezes, land breezes, wind instruments and areas of high or low pressure. Study guide is fill-in-the-blank, answer key included on page 2.
