Magnet Stations--Materials Required Listed

(0)
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

Law of Conservation of Mass/Chemical Reactions Vocabulary

(0)
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

Net Force Quick Quiz or Practice Sheet

(0)
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.
Kinetic and Potential Energy: Interactive Science Notebook

Kinetic and Potential Energy: Interactive Science Notebook

(0)
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!
Law of Conservation of Mass with LEGOS! (Lab Activity)
sventrescasventresca

Law of Conservation of Mass with LEGOS! (Lab Activity)

(0)
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.

Heredity & Genetics ESCAPE ROOM LESSON

(0)
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! Enough problems for 7 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 2 3-digit locks, one MasterLock combination lock, and one Key lock. Four boxes, some paper, and a lot of fun!! I got the locks at Dollar Tree, and the boxes are inexpensive unfinished wooden boxes. Your students will love it and want more. INCLUDES: 7 different transcription/translation problem sets for box/envelope 1 7 different Punnett Square Sets for box/envelope 2 7 different Ciphers and graph problems for box/envelope 3 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. Need an editable version? I will email you a MS publisher file after purchase of this pdf. Please email shancrafty@gmail.com with subject line GENETICS ESCAPE ROOM. Thanks! .
Oceanography ESCAPE ROOM Lesson!

Oceanography ESCAPE ROOM Lesson!

(0)
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 Need an editable version to customize it to your locks? Go ahead and email me at shancrafty@gmail.com to make arrangements after purchase.
Environmental Coat of Arms

Environmental Coat of Arms

(0)
Students make an environmental coat of arms--expressing the following: A symbol of what is most important about the environment (to them), a motto for the environment, what they want for the environment in the future, and what they are going to personally do to help the environment. Would make a great bulletin board, mini project, etc.
