Earth Day Activity: Dandelion Analysis T-Chart Activity
This simple and low-prep Earth Day activity has students analyze pros and cons of dandelions to decide if they are "intolerable intruders" or "favorable flowers." They will cut out 10 statement cards and place them on a t-chart under intolerable or favorable. The final piece is to write an opinion about if dandelions are favorable or not. This can be used as a simple CER activity! This lesson is also found in the Earth Day Activities Bundle.

Energy Transformation Practice: Reviews Types of Energy and Energy Transfers!
I've done this activity from 7th through 12th grades and it's always entertaining to see what they come up with. Since they're not actually building it, they can really think out of the box (ex- nuclear energy and thermal energy become popular). I usually do this after a lesson on energy and then I will show then the OK Go, "This Too Shall Pass" video as that is the ultimate contraption to model (in my opinion). You may also wish to show them Rube Goldberg examples. Or, modify a bit and simply u
