Description
Looking for a way to incorporate more scientific thinking this year? Are you struggling to integrate the NGSS Science and Engineering Practices in your daily lessons? If you answered yes to either of those questions, then these resources are for you!
These bell ringer activities are designed to familiarize your students with the practices of scientists and engineers, to incorporate NGSS phenomena, to reflect on the learning process, and to think critically about scientific vocabulary, concepts, and historical development!
Use a different resource each day of the week! For example:
- Making Sense of Models Monday
- Data Analysis Tuesday
- Reflective Wednesday
- Thinking Thursday
- Phenomena Friday
Resources Included:
- 41 Life Science Phenomena Bell Ringers
- 42 Physical Science Phenomena Bell Ringers
- 46 Earth/Space Science Phenomena Bell Ringers
- 43 Data Analysis Bell Ringers
- 40 Making Sense of Models Bell Ringers
- 41 Metacognition/Reflection Bell Ringers
- 112 Scientific Prefixes and Suffixes Bell Ringers
- 40 Famous Scientists Bell Ringers
- Bell Ringer Student Form
Topics range from human impact on the environment to physics. The purpose of these activities is not to have a full understanding of every topic presented, but rather to see what students can understand using the data presented. The questions that accompany the data are designed to be thought provoking and require students to predict, draw conclusions, and think critically about the data being presented.
Who is this resource for?
This resource can be used by classroom teachers, tutors, and parents of students in grades 6-12.
How Can I Use this Resource?
- Use the slides individually as a warm up or closure activity.
Alternative ideas:
- Extension activity for early finishers or for students who show a special interest
- Exit tickets
- Use individual slides as a square on a Choice Board
- Scavenger hunt - Print slides and hide them around the room for students to find. Great for students who need to be moving!
- Fishing - Print all the slides and place them in a bowl. Have students come up and "fish" for a new question while throwing their old question back. This is a great activity for students who enjoy being hands on.
- Sticky Hands - (if you dare) let kids pick cards with sticky hands
- Have students pull a question answer it correctly to earn privileges like leave for lunch.
What's Included?
Purchase includes a printable PDF file in color. On page 2 of these resources you will find a link to a student friendly Google Slide version of this file. You will be able to copy this file and use it with Google Classroom or any other paperless initiative. Answer key is included.
Please take a look at the preview file to see more of this resource.
