Discussion Diamond - Group Discussion Protocol (with TIPS!)
Disclaimer: This product was originally sourced from ambitiousscienceteaching.org. I have included highlighted tips and tricks that I have learned over 7 years of using this protocol with middle school students. This protocol has helped me monitor student thought during small group discussions without having to stand next to each group and take notes. At the end of the 10-15 minute protocol you will have a formative artifact for every student in the room. This protocol is often included in my l

Lab: Scientific Inquiry - Penny Boat
Introduction: First year science students often view scientific inquiry as difficult. This is a simple lab to invoke thought processes. Each student will be given a piece of aluminum foil and be asked to design a boat that will hold as many pennies as possible without sinking. You can "tweek" as needed.

Science Hands on Investigation for Mechanical Energy and Heat Energy
This is a hands on investigation for students to see how energy can transform into other types of energy. In this case it looks at how Mechanical Energy can lead to a change in Heat Energy. I found it had for students to see this in the beginning without having a hands on experience so I created this lesson in hopes that my students can build a deeper understanding of the science content. They were able to build on prior knowledge while learning new concepts. The were able to see how mechanical

Daily Behavioral Chart
This daily chart that I have created allows teachers to communicate with parents about their child's daily behavior whether acceptable or unacceptable. On this chart there is only a happy face and a sad face because if a child receives a red face, I would always put something positive(acceptable code) so that the parent can see that although their child performed unacceptable behavior that day, they also had positive moments as well. I just use this in place of what I like to call a "Happy-mediu

Science and Reading Lesson Plan-Sea Otter Adaptations
This lesson plan uses a picture book, Oliver's Otter Phase, to help kids learn adaptations. It begins by comparing humans and sea otters and then after reading the book there is an extension activity for kids to sort structural and behavioral adaptations of sea otters. The lesson can be used without the book, but the book enriches the experience and has 4 pages of further back matter about sea otters as tool users and comparing river and sea otters, which have different adaptations.

Milk Fireworks Science Experiment
In this exciting experiment, students witness the reaction caused by the breakdown of fat in foods. Students add a few drops of water based food coloring to a bowl of whole milk. When grease cutting detergent is added, the fat is quickly broken down causing the water based food coloring to mix with the milk. The reaction resembles fireworks- without the boom! This activity teaches the scientific method, observing a reaction, and recording data. It also includes vocabulary such as hypothesis
