Distant Science Learning

Process Skills Practice: Students will practice identifying observations, inferences, and predictions. This is a double sided worksheet, that should be cut in half. Two worksheets per 1 page.

Students interpret data in a chart and graph by answering analysis questions. Great PSSA prep! This worksheet is a half sheet so you will have 2 student copies per 1 page.

Students will read 4 experiments, graph the data in a table, and then construct a line or bar graph.

Students will fill in a short notes section giving them a background on measurements and the SI system. Then, students will fill in a graphic organizer on basic measurements. Finally, on the second page students will practice with SI units.

This life science unit covers the following topics: carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, water cycle, abiotic and biotic factors, levels of organization, soil composition lab, food chains and food webs, energy pyramids, population size, population density, behavior, symbiosis, animal and plant responses, and adaptations. The notes packet is the complete packet that students received and it has all labs, notes, and practice worksheets included. Order of the unit: First, we taught the cycles. See t

In this activity, I hung up all 12 experiments around my room. Students were given the first page of the document to record their answers on. Every two minutes, students rotated to the next station. Make sure you delete the answers off of the experiments before hanging them up around the room.

In this practice, students will read experiments and identify the IV, DV, and constants. Students will also practice identifying the IV and DV by reading a hypothesis. Students will also practice creating a hypothesis.

Using process skills at home! In this activity, students will observe a pet or an animal that visits their yard at home. Students will make qualitative and quantitative observations about the animal, make inferences, and make predictions on how it will behave. This is a half sheet worksheet for students, so there are 2 copies per page. Great homework practice!

This lab is great for your kinesthetic learners! Let your students pick which exercise to perform, like jumping jacks, high knees, or running in place. Students will record their heart rate after each round. After students record their data, they answer analysis questions and practice graphing their data.

Students are given a sample topic and need to create a scientific problem, hypothesis, and identify variables.

First students will identify two variable in each scenario. Then, students will just identify the independent variable in 5 scenarios. Lastly, students will identify the dependent variable in 5 scenarios. *Fully editable* Answer key included on the second page.

Powerpoint and Guided Notes sheet to help students learn about the basic parts of an experiment. PDF and Word version of the guided notes sheet included. Vocabulary Covered: Variable IV DV Constants Control Repeated Trial Hypothesis

Students will read 4 experiments and identify the independent variable and dependent variable. Then, students will create a hypothesis for each experiment in the "If...then..." format.
