Aplus Plans and Assessment

Here are 14 questions to go along with the TED-Ed video The wacky history of cell theory - Lauren Royal-Woods http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OpBylwH9DU This helps students to actively listen to the video on cell theory

This activity / assessment has 16 questions where the student fills in the factor tree. It is a great way to start the kids thinking about factoring polynomials. it will also tell you who knows their multiplication tables. The students who could do these were able to factor more easily and were more likely to be able to apply it to factoring polynomials like x^2 + 10x +21 (x+3)(x+7) I put in an answer key too so you could leave this with a substitute teacher :-)

This is a Word document with 22 guided questions to go along with the 6:20 minute video "How to Use a Microscope" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-w98KA8UqU I've used this video in class before and most students get the message but it only takes one to not listen and break / drop / damage a microscope through mishandling. These guided questions helped to get the students to actively watch the video. I usually let them peer assess their responses so it wasn't more work for me. there is als

Physical & Chemical Changes Quiz 1. Rusting iron 2. Toasting bread 3. Evaporating water 4. Burning a candle 5. Frost on a car window 6. Turning a light bulb on 7. Boiling water 8. Formation of clouds 9. Baking a cake 10. Breaking a stick 11. Wax melting 12. Frying an egg 13. A bomb exploding 14. Sulphur burning 15. Sugar dissolving 16. Jello setting 17. Bread going moldy 18. Leaves changing colour 19. A firefly glowing 20. Silver tarnishing 21. Making ice cubes 22. Baking a potato 23. Sanding a

This is a series of labelled vectors plotted (A, B, C, etc) Next the vectors are added for example A+B Great Head-to-Toe method and practice

Guided questions to help with balancing chemical equations and active listening. Simply pause the video at the listed times and wait for your students to respond on paper. I recommend printing 1 copy, fill in the header with your name, date, period/subject and whether or not you want the students to hand in this copy. Next print out your class set

Here are some guided question on isotopes for the video of Tyler Dewitt. These questions will help with active listening. Some questions aren't just repeating what was just said but the student will have to think a little and apply what was said in the video. Be sure to pause the video at the designated times and allow your students to respond. You can have the students pass in these questions as evidence of their listening and participation or you can opt to have them keep the questions as n

These are guided questions for a Tyler Dewitt video on Valence electrons. These transform the video into an interactive lesson. Be sure to pause at the appropriate time and allow your students to respond. These are more than just repeating what was said, some are predictions and get the students to think a bit on their own. You should print one copy and fill out the top with your name, date, period/subject and say whether or not you are collecting this activity. Then print your class se

Bohr Rutherford diagram 2. Give the ionic symbol and charge for 3. Speculate as to why oxygen and sulfur are in the same group on the periodic table 4. Do you think Silicon might behave similarly to carbon? Why? (think about the outer shell of electrons) 5. Explain what an isotope is 6. Indicate which of the following are isotopes to each other 9. Give the name of each atom in the molecule and how many there are in the following molecules 1. Give the chemical formulas for the following ionic

Just decide how many students you want in a group and then you immediately get a randomized grouping of the students from the list. Copy and paste your students into the list and you will be able to quickly produce random groupings instantly.

This is a course outline and letter to the parents/guardians for Science 10. There is a detailed description of expectations with respect to homework, cell phones, behavior, teacher goals for students, etc There is even a cool daily tracking sheet that the kids fill out reflecting on their understanding of the previous lesson, a Y/N for whether or not they completed their homework. The letter to parents outlines the assessments and homework specifically but this is a word doc so you can alter

These are notes I made from the textbook Nelson science 10 to hand out basically to all my students. Our school does what's called a universal accommodation where every child has the right to be given the notes. The notes are for sections 5.1 to 5.3, 5.5 to 5.9, 5.11 to 5.12. Each section also has an "entrance pass" which is a very short quiz that doesn't count but lets you know who's got it and who doesn't. This is done at the beginning of each class. At the end of each section of notes

This is a quick little multiple choice on the parts of the Sun. I've used this as a formative check after a class (or 2) on the parts of the Sun to use as a check to see how student understanding is coming along

Counting atoms and naming ionic compounds quiz 1. Give the name of each atom in the molecule and how many there are in the following molecules 2. Give the chemical formulas for the following ionic compounds. 3. Name the following ionic compounds

Guided questions for Tricky Question: Exothermic or Endothermic? Video by Tyler Dewitt. This is just a few questions to help the students make some notes and develop understanding of exothermic and endothermic systems. Pause the video at the listed times and allow your students to respond.

Guided questions for an Introduction to Oxidation Reduction (Redox) Reactions. Simple pause the video at the listed times and allow your students to respond. Some questions are designed for them to think while other encourage listening. Interacting with the video will help them to take notes while watching instructional videos I suggest printing one copy and fill in your name, date, period/subject and whether or not you want it handed in. Then print your class set

These are guided questions as an introduction to writing formulas for ionic compounds. Simply pause the video and the prescribed times and allow the students to respond. They will have to actively listen and interact while they learn

This is a handy graph plotter for teaching quadratics and polynomials. You can change the variables and the student sees the plot right away so they can see how the coefficients affect the graph. also, line of best fit, Sin, Cos and Tan quadratic equation Yo can also use it to create a graph and copy and paste it to a test document and get the students to come up with the equation.

Ecosystems quiz assessment including extinct, endangered, extirpated, vulnerable, threatened. food chain, food web, biomass, trophic level, primary secondary tertiary consumers, producers, habitat, ecotone, community, population, ecosystem

This is a video quiz out of 10 to go along with "Mitosis" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlN7K1-9QB0 What you do is mute the video and pause the video at certain times outlined in the document. The pause will allow the student to respond to the questions relating to telling the name of the phase and describing what's going on during that phase. For the answer key, simply listen to the audio for the video. This way the students can exchange and peer mark. No extra work for you!! The vide
