This activity is a great way to get students thinking about the evolution of atomic theory. Students divide up into groups and select a scientist to research. Students then make a poster and present their findings to their classmates. Scientists covered: Democritus Aristotle Lavoisier Proust Dalton Crookes Thomson Milliken Rutherford Bohr Schrodinger Chadwick Gell-manThis project covers more than your “average” lesson on Atomic Theory so I recommend only using it with your AP, Honors, Pre-A

This resource is designed to help students consider how a particular event affected the atmosphere, the biosphere, the hydrosphere, and the geosphere. I like to give my students event suggestions, but the rest is up to them. They do the research and create an eye-catching poster to display what they learned. When we present our projects, I hang them around the room and have students walk to each poster and take notes. This resource includes... Project InstructionsA RubricA Gallery Walk Handout f

This resource will provide you and your students with step-by-step instructions on how to write a lab report. It is designed to be done over the course of a marking period, semester, or school year. (Whatever works for you!) The idea is that students will practice writing different parts of a lab report overtime. You, the teacher, will provide feedback on the assignments. Then, students will write a full lab report! These assignments can be easily integrated into your Learning Management System

This product is designed to help students learn about a specific endangered or extinct species of their choosing. This resource will come to you in the form of a google slide so you will be able to edit it to your needs. You will also be able to easily integrate it into your learning management system. I like to integrate the presentation into my Learning Management System (LMS) (ex. Canvas, Google classroom) so that each student has their own copy that I can view while they work. Student

This product is designed to help students learn about the various biomes (terrestrial and aquatic) on planet earth. Your purchase includes: Terrestrial Biome Guidelines + Graphic Organizer for ResearchAquatic Biome Guidelines + Graphic Organizer for ResearchGrading Rubric"Biome Chart" for students to fill out during presentationsStudents will work individually or in small groups to research one biome. They will then create a "speed dating" profile to be used when presenting to the class. I like

This product is designed to allow students to creatively display their understanding of species adaptations. Prompt: It is the year 3000 and technology allows us to create new planets with specific habitats. These planets will host life that will not be disrupted by humans. Furthermore, new organisms can be created to live on these planets. These new creatures must have specific adaptations in order to thrive, or they will become extinct quite rapidly. YOU are the scientist that has created t

This activity is a great way to get students thinking about the movement of molecules as they change from solid to liquid to gas. Inspired by Netflix’s “The Magic School Bus Rides Again - Three in One” Episode, students will envision themselves as a water molecule and take the audience on a journey of how they change from one state of matter to another. This resource comes with a brainstorming sheet for the students, a rubric, and a final copy template. It takes my Physical Science classes

This product is designed to help students visualize the history of biology. Sections include: Biology moments (based on commonly covered topics in high school biology) Cards for Teachers & Students General History, Technology, and Advancement moments (used for context) I have a long, thin bulletin board running along my ceiling so this is perfect for that space, but this resource could be placed anywhere in your classroom. You could have the timeline up from the beginning of the year, or yo

This resource is designed to help students visualize the different layers of soil. Students will be directed to choose a craft supply for each of the following: GrassWormTopsoilEarth’s DepositsTreeRootsSubsoilBedrockStudents will then need to explain why they think that craft supply accurately represents that piece of soil. Students will then construct their soil horizons using the materials they selected. Because this resource comes in the form of a google doc, you will be able to edit it to

This product is designed to allow students to creatively display their understanding of a particular invasive species. Prompt: Choose an invasive species that is either located in New Jersey or is found in one of the surrounding states which border New Jersey. (Note: my classroom is based in NJ. You should change the state/region to where you are!) After students pick an invasive species from the area, they will research the species using the prompts on the worksheet. They will then create a
