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.

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.

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!

A great lab for demonstrating the law of conservation of matter. Students use Lego blocks (or you can substitute gummy bears or some other manipulative) to build chemical equations. Students take the mass of the parts of the equations and then see how the mass is unchanged in the reactants and products. This version has two versions: one with pre-filled colors, and the other with the colors left blank so you can adapt it to fit with the Legos you already have. The second part of the lab includes alka-seltzer, water and ziploc baggies. Students see how mass is unchanged in a closed system.

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.

Great 2-sided review sheet for elements, compounds and mixtures. See the thumbnails for the varieties of questions. *PDF File

Study guide including a tree map classifying pure substances and mixtures, drawing different pure substances and mixtures, matching of some vocabulary, and also revisiting phases of matter.

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!

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 cut and paste the vocabulary words in their notebooks, matching them with the correct definition. (Definitions and Terms are Scrambled) Includes a visual cue or example for each term. Includes terms: law of conservation of mass, law of conservation of matter, reactant, product, chemical formula, chemical equation, coefficient, subscript

Two per page so students can cut them and paste into their ISN/IAN, or just so you can save paper. This has practice math problems demonstrating the Law of Conservation of Mass. Answer key included!

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

Genetics, Protein Synthesis, Punnett Square, Phenotype Data--it's all in here. Use actual locks and boxes, OR use this fun lesson with a simple envelope system!
