Bundle of three popular I Have/Who has games! Each game has 24 cards. Students play and try to beat their time as a class! Games are also available separately, but buy a bundle and save!
~Layers of Soil/Soil Conservation
~Water Cycle
~Geology
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.
"Something is on the Horizon" lettering with pictures related to soil layers. Also included is the soil horizon project and rubric. Have students use items to create a model of the soil horizon layers and submit a photo of themselves with their project to be printed and put on the bulletin board!
Included: Two different sizes of lettering (bulletin board example pictured uses the 4 to 1 page lettering). Project, rubric, and answer key.
Great little resource, one-page booklet that covers the following topics:
~Layers of the Earth (and compare them in terms of temperature, thickness, density, and composition)
~Tectonic Plates
~ Plate Boundaries
~Continental Drift Theory
Made of thinking maps, with word bank included. Answer key attached as well.
This is a set of periodic table squares so you can create a bulletin board spelling out words, phrases or even your name! All of the letters are represented in this document, including J and Q...but of course they don't have Just print out the pages you need and voila! Easy, clever bulletin board. Print in color or gray scale.
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.
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.
Have students complete the traditional "Snack Tectonics" lab with graham crackers (continental crust), fruit roll ups (oceanic crust) and frosting (asthenosphere)
I have re-vamped it to be more concise and have directions and questions in the order the students complete the activities to reduce their confusion.
Answer key included!
Students identify oceans, know about ocean sizes and comparisons, open different boxes to get more clues. Don't have boxes? That's ok! Create your own escape room experience with envelopes or pencil boxes. Have students decipher and answer questions about tides, currents and waves. Students demonstrate their oceanography knowledge AND have a blast!
Setup for 7 different groups, seven different codes. You can adapt it to fit an envelope system OR a 3 digit resettable lock. I bought mine (not resettable) at Dollar Tree, combos are on the outside of the package, so that is an option too! Use this as inspiration for even more Escape Room Lessons!
INCLUDES:
7 different ocean problem sets for box/envelope 2's code
7 different Ciphers and questions/problems for box/envelope 3
7 tickets to give students the code for the locks
TWO DIFFERENT (1 min or 2 min) Speed Bump Cards (color-coded) for each group. (So fun to throw a team out for a minute or two--also color-coded)
Hint Tickets/Cards for all 3 boxes, color-coded so you can keep track of whom you have given hints to

Darwin, his journey, evidence for evolution, cladograms--it's all in here. Use actual locks and boxes, OR use this fun lesson with a simple envelope system! Enough problems for 6 groups of students, or more if you use the problems in duplicate. I actually made different codes and problems for each group. With locks: utilizes 3, 3-digit locks, one MasterLock combination lock, four boxes, some paper, and a lot of fun!!
I got the locks and toolboxes at Dollar Tree, or I also bought inexpensive unfinished wooden boxes. Your students will love it and want more.
INCLUDES:
6 different codes to get your students started (hide in room somewhere)
6 different cladogram interpretation problem sets for box 2's combination.
6 different ciphers and comprehension/study questions for box 3's combination.
6 different map analysis problems for box 4's combination.
TWO DIFFERENT (1 min or 2 min) Speed Bump Cards (color-coded) for each group. (So fun to throw a team out for a minute or two--also color-coded)
Hint Tickets/Cards for all 3 boxes, color-coded so you can keep track of whom you have given hints to.
