I love balancing equations! I organized 4 pages of chemical reactions into Easy, Medium, Difficult, and The Crazy INSANE levels of balancing. This way you can give your students some confidence before they are stumped.

Everyone knows Rock Paper, Scissors! Now you can use this page to help gather a simple data set to talk about. This is a simple record sheet for 20 rounds of rock, paper. scissors along with a few easy analysis questions for discussion. Use the raw data to then study percentages or graphing.

Now that you have covered ionic and covalent bonding, see if your students can navigate both systems.

Let your colored pencils reveal the periodic trends atomic radii, density, ionization energy, and electronegativity.

If your students need some practice writing covalent formulas and names, this worksheet should be of some use to you.

Help your students turn names into formulas and formulas into names! These are my pages that will help you discuss ionic and covalent naming. this bundle includes: 1) ionic bonding with your neighbor GAME - cut out the pieces, pass them out and have students attempt an ionic bond. The size of the piece will help them determine how many they will need of each. The names of each ion will guide them to the correct names. All of these are recorded on the lab sheet provided. 2) chemical bondi

Imagine explaining how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to a robot that does everything you say...exactly! Can you write a set of instructions that would end up looking like the real thing? Follow your students' directions TO THE LETTER for a fun (and very messy) demonstration of how to write and follow instructions.

Every science student needs to graph their data. My graph paper includes an informative checklist for your students to take inventory of their work before they call it finished. This bundle includes graph paper specifically designed for:bar graphs line graphs scatter plots pie graphs

Data can be found anywhere! This bundle currently includes data sheets for:1) Penny Flipping 2) Rock, Paper Scissors 3) Water Bottle Flipping

Why the new format for the "Easy Ones"?I've taught students from 6-12 how to balancing chemical equations. Beginners will often need more space to " take inventory" of the elements they have on the reactant and product sides. This resource provides that extra space for the EASY level. Once they learn how to do it, you can save time at the copy machine and print off the MEDIUM, DIFFICULT, and CRAZY INSANE levels from my original resource. Students can use their notes to take inventory. Look

This record sheet will help your students gather raw data by flipping water bottles. Use this data to look for patterns and then add up the class data to compare to. Discussion topics include percentages, chance, and cause/effect relationships.

Knowing the 50 States is Non-Negotiable. My 8th graders didn't know them! It's hard to discuss weather systems going across the country when you don't know THE COUNTRY! This refresher quiz will shed some light on your students' prior knowledge and hold them accountable for their elementary school learning.

Describing MOTION with math and graphs can be difficult. These pages can help give the needed practice. I've honed these questions for years and would love for them to make your life easier. Part 1: Learn what a basic position/time graph looks like Part 2: Be able to calculate velocity and then interpret the remaining graphs with the given clues. Starts easy and builds to more thought-provoking problems.

This packet includes three complete labs to practice the experimentation step of the scientific method. Students will test to see if string length, drop height, or mass affect the time of one swing of a pendulum. All you need is a stopwatch, some string, and few objects to hang. (Note: Only string length will make a noticeable change in the time of a pendulum swing.)

This record sheet will help your students gather raw data in the form of heads or tails. Use this data to look for patterns and then add up the class data to compare to. Discussion topics include percentages, chance, and cause/effect relationships.

A simple 12X12 grid to practice multiplication facts. Have your students time themselves so that they can improve these basic skills. Critical thinking is only possible when the fundamentals have been mastered.

Using the map of data, have your students plot an isotherm line. They will have to look for similar data points and learn to estimate the location of data points that are unseen. It will give them an inside look into what weather analyzing computers do on a daily basis.

It's much easier to buy my reference sheet than to write all the subscripts in your word processor. Organized by charge, this is a great tool in basic chemistry.

Make periodic trends more fun by using play-dough! If the Helium atom is represented by a 1cm sphere, how big will the other atoms be? What trends will you see in the size of atoms as you move down a period or down a family? I had quite a bit of modeling clay to work with at my school. I estimated that I used about 64 standard play-doh containers to do the entire table. If you don't have that amount of clay I would suggest the following: 1) reduce the size of the He model 2) maybe only bu

Learning to write the formula of ionic bonds just takes some practice. These grids will facilitate that practice. The first page includes normal ions while page two introduces polyatomic ions.
