This Life Science Vocabulary Activities bundle gives you everything you need independent, group and center work AND differentiated options. This Bundle set includes the Units- Cells & Microorganisms, Plant & Animal Classification, and Traits & Behaviors.
Perfect for science centers, independent practice, whole-group review, early finishers, or sub plans, these activities help students master vocabulary through movement, games, recording sheets, and crosswords.
