Label a roller coaster with it's Kinetic and Potential Energies at different locations.

While talking about water pollution, my class did a mid-unit graphing activity. This was created to be a refresher on how to make a line and bar graph on paper. We did the graphing together as a class, and I helped them plot the points accurately, giving them tips along the way. The product is delivered as a Google Doc, so you may edit it as you need.

This lab lets students get their own samples of cells and view them under the microscope. They will compare plant cells (specifically celery) to animal cells (human skin/cheek cells). Included are 2 versions of the lab (COVID-19 precautions friendly), 1 Slides of pictures to expect, and a ReadMe explain specifics that worked well for me.

"To many people, it seems like common knowledge that living things are made of cells.  Even if this concept seems strange to you still, that’s OK! This wasn’t always the case.  In fact, it took an unknown number of people and over 300 years of research to come up with what we know today." Use this project to help get students acquainted with cells and to let them understand that some of the things they take for granted were not always known. Students may do their own research for each person, b

This is a combination of resources that I have created and compiled over the last year and converted to work with Distance Learning. There are around 30 resources included inside. This product is delivered as a Google Drive folder. Many of the assignments are Google Forms, Google Docs, or Google Slides. Feel free to edit them to work best for your classroom. Some answer keys have been included, but many of the resources will require you to grade based on their response, so answers will vary.

Use this foldable to help introduce parts of a microscope. Quick and easy to cut out. For an extra step, have student color coordinate the different part labels based on their function. The product is delivered as a Google Doc, so that you can edit as needed.

Easy to do labs showing the basics of lab safety, measuring out mass and volume, and evidence of chemical reactions. The lab has 2 parts, one using vinegar and baking soda, the other using vinegar and Calcium Carbonate. Part 2's reaction will have kids shrieking with excitement as they blow their tops. Both parts of this lab could be a part of a bigger science stations activity, if wanted. Disclaimer, you will need to find small containers with poppable lids. Link to online source included.

I used this lab in the beginning of the year when introducing scientific measurement. The students are asked to measure the height and shoe length of classmates. They then graph their data and answer basic analysis questions. Product is delivered as a Google folder, so both the document and spreadsheet are editable. Lab report is a Google doc, which can be printed out or assigned on Google Classroom. There is a Google Sheet template assigned that I had my students use to practice graphing on

Includes links to 5 videos of different chemical reactions. Have students write down what they noticed in the videos and justify that a chemical reaction occurred. Can be done as a whole class discussion, individually, or in small groups. Printable and online versions.

Discuss body systems and their interactions when it comes to being able to catch a falling ruler.

Have students mix together 3 chemicals with different physical appearances and observe what happens in the reaction. They can observe things like changes in temperature, color, foaming/ bubbling with gas production, change in pH, texture, ... This reaction is originally done by Flinn Scientific. I just tried to simplify their lab and make it easier to read for my middle schoolers Could be a small part of a bigger science stations activity.

Quick and easy foldable on body systems. Looking into some examples of cells, tissues, and organs in each, as well as each systems function. This one covers the Nervous, Circulator, Respiratory, and Digestive Systems. Printed based on an easily editable Google Slides so you may change things as you wish or even add other body systems.

This foldable was one option for how my students could present the necessary information for our introductory unit on the Scientific Method. This product is delivered as a Google Docs file that you can edit.

Practice using Position vs. Time (Speed) graphs. 4 slides cover drag and drop questions about these graphs. A link to Gigaphysics' website has students trying to match their mouse's speed to that of the graph, which can be quite a challenge!

I've combined a couple of resources that I've collected/created over the years. All resources in the mini-bundle (except for the M & M lab) will work online with Distance Learning. There are 14 unique elements included, which should help students gain a basic understanding of Mendelian genetics and Punnett Squares. This product is delivered as a Google Drive folder. The individual activities are either Google Forms, Google Slides, Google Sheets, or Google Docs. They can be edited as needed.

I use this lab to help students understand what is meant by saying "Kinetic Energy of an object depends on its mass and speed" The product is delivered as a Google folder, containing the Google Docs lab report, a picture of the lab setup, and a hypothesis bellwork that goes with the lab. All documents are editable as needed.

Guiding questions that go along with the website Energy Skate Park by PhET. Useful when discussing Kinetic and Potential Energy and PoCoE. Also included is a bellwork that accompanies Energy Skate Park.

I used this Metric prefixes Foldable to help introduce the idea to my students. We used it for many in-class activities and worksheets, where I had the students use it as reference. I try to give them intuition about which way the decimal should be moving. The product is delivered as a google Doc so you may edit it as needed.

Examine the 6 Characteristics of Life (organization, growth and development, reproduction, response to stimuli, homeostasis, use of energy) by looking at how your favorite animal fits these characteristics. This research project has students researching their favorite animal to see how it meets all the 6 CoL. They have the option to create a Google Slides (template provided) or to do a collage on paper, if they are more artistic. The product is delivered as a Google Drive folder, with my examp

9 different science stations, engaging kids in the different parts and functions of cells. Tasks vary from comparing a model to an organelle, answering questions based on an article, to drawing a representation of plant and animal cells.
