I use this worksheet to help teach motion graphs. This distance-time graph worksheet includes six graphs to show constant speed, acceleration, deceleration, no motion, and combinations of these. Combine this worksheet with my Mo-7 worksheet on speed-time graphs to compare distance-time graphs and speed-time graphs. (Bluebird Teaching Materials)

Using a graph, teach how the addition of heat causes ice to heat up and change from a solid to a liquid, and then to a gas. The graph shows how heating the ice causes the temperature to rise and how phase changes relate to this. Definitions of freezing point, melting point, boiling point, evaporation, condensation, and sublimation are included. This worksheet asks questions about changes in the graph and about the definitions of the phase changes. Four pages are included, two worksheet pages and

Teach the Cell Cycle (Interphase; Mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase; and Cytokinesis) by having the students make this large 9 x 42 inch poster. All of the instructions are included, along with patterns for the drawings and descriptions. Students color, cut, and glue the steps by following a picture of the cell cycle the teacher prints out or displays on the digital projector. Pages 6 and 7 include cells that have already been colored for the teacher to display on the projector t

I use this worksheet to teach speed-time (velocity) graphs after teaching distance-time graphs. This worksheet shows graphs when an object is at rest, moving at a constant speed, accelerating, decelerating, and a combination of these. I first use my Mo-6 worksheet to teach how the above motion looks in a distance-time graph. To help students understand the two types of graphs, I put up posters summarizing the motion in both kinds. We refer to the posters throughout the unit. (Bluebird Teaching M

Color the layers of the sun with this worksheet. This simple worksheet directs students to color the layers of the sun according to instructions on the bottom of the paper. A full-size key is included. (Bluebird Teaching Materials)

This one-page student worksheet teaches and reviews the concept of density. The worksheet defines density and gives the mass and volume of four different liquids and two solids. Students calculate the densities of the six substances and complete the density table for mass, volume, and density. They then answer three questions about the results and color the layers in the density column according to density. The one-page answer key is full size and is in color. This worksheet is based on the Cali

Students will have fun reviewing the basic parts of plant and animal cells with this brochure. Students are given a copy of the brochure that needs to be completed. In order to finish it, they use the full-color key. Copies of the completed brochure can be displayed on the overhead or with a digital projector. If students work at tables, copies of the completed brochure can be passed out for their use. I use A+ student copies from previous years. Students will have fun with this project and won'

Students solve problems to determine the cumulative effect of forces. The eight problems require the students to figure out the net force on objects. Additional work in this area can be found in my Rev-3 worksheet on forces. (Bluebird Teaching Materials)

Use this colorful, fun Protist Paper-Fold Activity as an introduction to the protozoans or as a review. Students will receive a black & white partially completed outline.

Does it float or sink? Students look at four different items and determine if they will float or sink in water and then in alcohol. Since water and alcohol have different densities, the four items will not sink or float the same in the two liquids. Students complete a density table by supplying the density of each object (obtained from the mass and volume). They then indicate if the item will float or sink in both water and alcohol. Finally,they draw the item in the beakers. Two versions of the
