CER-It

This worksheet can be used with any science world (current science) magazine article. It asks students to analyze the article (title, essential question, summary). I use this worksheet once a week to combine reading comprehension and science discoveries. Students find the format easy to follow.

Simple score sheet that includes just the important stuff. Mainly... scores, sets, court, who has first serve, cap, final score and a section to note if it was recorded by play director. Enjoy!

This review helps prepare students for a solar system quiz or test. It encourages students to use their notes and the data table to answer the questions. It concludes with a claim, evidence, reasoning paragraph that will require students to their about the solar system as a whole. Finally, it has an extension section for students to create their own questions and answers based on the data table.

These are fill in notes covering the important aspects of air masses and fronts. The activity has an area to write questions about the notes (great for studying) and also summarize the information. In addition, there is a diagram page to help explain how these topics are shown on a meteorological map. These are great to add to an interactive notebook.

Goal: Students will write a conclusion paragraph which includes a claim, evidence, and reasoning. This activity includes general background information and a data table to analyze before filling out the graphic organizer. Sentence starters are provided to help students identify the important data to be included in their paragraph. Students will produce a high quality paragraph with academic/scientific language. They will self-reflect and highlight all three parts of the paragraph and self score

This is a scaffolded activity to breakdown the steps of writing a claim, evidence, reasoning conclusion paragraph. Students are given background information to explain how the data was gathered. The students will need to analyze the data and extrapolate to determine the missing numbers. Students will then identify the minimum and maximum crystal size based on the data table. They will create a graph using the data table to help them visual the relationship between the variables. The will use a t

Collect actual, up to date weather data from the NOAA.gov website. This data table is set up in order to help keep the information in the correct spot. After the first day, comparisons will be make with the previous days. At the end of the week, it includes an analysis of the entire week.

Do you expect your students to explain data tables? This outline helps students identify the variables in a data table or graph. Then determine a claim based on the relationship between the data. The will analyze the data to support their claim with evidence and include the data. Finally they will have to explain their reasoning. This outline will work for a variety of topics and courses. As well as age ranges.

These are fill in Cornell Style Notes. They include the major weather variables (temperature, wind, cloud cover, humidity, dew point, and air pressure. Students need to have an understanding of these terms before talking about fronts and air pressure systems. The C-notes with fronts and air pressure systems is available and includes a diagram and discussion section.

After many years of teaching, I realized students interrupted the video when I had them fill in the blanks during a video. They were constantly calling out "how do you spell..." while the next questions was playing. Since then, I have developed multiple choice video worksheets and this has eased my frustration. This worksheet contains 17 multiple choice questions. I highly suggest you have student go through the worksheet before showing the video. This will help students hear when a question is

Want your students to review their notebook while helping them write a reflection paragraph. This worksheet has broken the review into questions then provided an outline to write the information into a paragraph.

Students will make a poster showing their understanding of Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning. You can choose any size of paper. You can have students work alone or together. This could be a great activity to use as a pre-assessment and a post-assessment (at the end of the year). I would strongly encourage that students include drawings and color.

It's time for your students to be responsible! This pass allows students to take care of an "emergency" (bathroom, water, nurse, office, library, etc), 10 times per marking period. They need to keep track of this pass or they won't be able to leave during class. I suggest 1. Students write their names in pen 2. Use different colored paper for each marking period. 3. Create an award if students stayed in class. 4. Have students use this as their hallway pass (but still have a classroom clipboar
