Five Preps

This is a powerpoint quiz game with over 70 slides. Answers are included. I use it the week before STAAR to break up cramming so the students can test their knowledge against each other for prizes! Covers random sampling of the TEKS, the kids enjoy the immediate feedback of knowing whether they got them right or wrong. Or you can delete the answers and use it as a test. Fully editable.

This is a fun poster project I use to wrap up my unit on the Atmosphere. I then allow the students to take a formative assessment with their posters near their desks. So if they do a good job, basically they get a 'cheat sheet' on the test. It really motivates them to do good work and let's the more artistic students have a chance to gain a substantial number of points.

I use this scavenger hunt to take a break from STAAR review and give the students a bit of a 'fun' assignment. You can project or read the directions, I typically pass out a copy to each student. They really like it and helps test their knowledge of the periodic table. A Clue style mystery with clues leading to who the 'murderer' is. One student gets to play the murderer which is revealed through their search. There are 3 different types of clues, one is the murder (labeled Packet A1) make sure

It contains everything they need for STAAR. THIS IS BASICALLY THE SAME THING AS MY 8TH GRADE STAAR STUDY GUIDE. IF YOU HAVE BOUGHT THAT DO NOT BUY THIS IT IS JUST REORDERED.

I use this in the last week before STAAR as an in class activity. You can use it to test knowledge or as a project in class. I give the students the STAAR guides I created that they have already filled out and have them use that to fill this out.

I like to send it home with them once they are done so they can look over right before the te

I give my students extra credit for having filled it out and stickers to decorate the front with for every class they have it in. Some of my teachers use it as an in class activity where they use their notes/book/computer to fill it

This is a fun poster project I use at the end of the year when the kids need a break and we are all sick of sitting in seats doing work. It makes a nice big poster that displays all their knowledge from the year, so great to show parents and for teachers to use to show professional growth. Also useful as a project on days other classes are testing and you have a couple hours to review for STAAR. Students work in groups of four, it's aligned to 8th grade TEKS but you can easily edit it for your o
