Students research the different landforms of California including mountain ranges, plateaus, deserts, and valleys. Students find a definition, use the word in a sentence, and draw a picture of the landform.
This is a great activity for students to practice filling out Bohr Diagrams. Students record the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, then plot the electrons on the energy shells. You could even use this as a quiz/assessment. Key provided!
This quiz tests students on each layer of the Earth and their location. Students will be tested on basic knowledge of plate boundaries, geological processes, and convection. Students match the terms with the correct definition. Key is provided!
This is a unit test on the basics of an introductory science course for my 9th grade class. The test content includes the scientific method, metric conversions, variables, branches of science, lab tools, and metric units. Key included!
Directions: Cut out quilt squares and laminate for extra durability. Be sure to mix up quilt squares before you hand them out to students.Students will work to match the correct definition with its term. Use the key to check student work. A finished quilt will be 6x6 quilt squares.Note: Some quilt squares do not include terms or definitions on every side. These indicate the borders and corners of the quilt. I suggest students work in teams and compete for first place. Students will need to use

This is a great resource to break down the process of writing a lab report. Student at any level can utilize these documents to prepare themselves to start writing a polished and professional lab report.
This is a great resource to practice Bohr Diagrams. Students use the provided information to find the number of protons and neutrons in the element's nucleus. Then students plot the correct number of electrons in the shells. This can also be used as a quiz/assessment. Key included!
Students use the density formula to find the density of seven objects. Students will predict the densities before the lab, then find the actual densities to test their hypotheses. Then they will list the objects from most dense to least dense.
This is a great resource for any subject. Students analyze a poster or piece of propaganda. These guided questions support students as they learn how media influences our beliefs.
A fun and easy activity to go over vocabulary! Teachers, just print, cut, and distribute to students. I suggest laminating for extra durability. Print an extra copy to use as a key!
Students choose and research a career in science. This template provides a guide for students to research. Templates in color and black/white are available.
