Charlotte's Collaborative Projects

This set of foldables will help your students learn about sound waves, their properties and how musical instruments work. It will help your students master the NGSS Standard MS-PS4-2A: A sound wave needs a medium through which it is transmitted. Each foldable is specific to a different topic regarding sound, including how sound waves work, the factors affecting the speed of sound, the properties of sound, decibel time exposure guidelines, and different instruments and how they make sound.

This activity is a hands-on project that meets the Next Generation Science Standard for third grade: 3-ESS2-1 Earth's Systems (Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season). This activity is a year-long project that allows students to compare temperatures throughout the different seasons. Students will complete a daily temperature calendar, a line graph plotting the daily temperature for each month, and a double ba

This product is a great way for students to learn about mechanical waves. NGSS standard MS-PS4-1 (A simple wave has a repeating pattern with a specific wavelength, frequency, and amplitude.) is covered by this collection of foldables, and it also will help lead right into MS-PS4-2 (A sound wave needs a medium through which it is transmitted). Taking information from a textbook or PowerPoint becomes much more streamlined for students and these foldables make sure they have all the important inf

These interactive notebook glue-ins are helpful for teaching about codominance and incomplete dominance. They help teach NGSS Standard MS-LS-3A: Inheritance of Traits. The first glue-in matches vocabulary terms with their definitions. I use this as a way to identify terms as we read. The second glue-in compares dominance, recessive, incomplete dominance and codominance. The final glue-in gives examples of codominance, incomplete dominance, polygenic inheritance, environmental factors, acqui
