Students may learn about what organelles do for a cell, but do they ever think about what would happen to a cell if an organelle went...missing? Students will create a "Wanted Poster" for their missing organelle, personifying it and describing the "crime" of what happens to a cell when it is without its organelles. I've used this on 9th grade Biology students, and it always gets a giggle, especially with the finished project! I've also included a grading sheet with sample points values and a

Students will be given two Potential Energy Diagrams -- one Endothermic, one Exothermic. They will have to read the graph and determine if the graph is showing an endothermic or exothermic reaction, justify why it is so, then calculate the heat of reaction (delta H), activation energy (Ea), reverse activation energy, answer four conceptual multiple choice questions, and then determine if 9 real-life scenarios demonstrate exothermic or endothermic reactions. This worksheet is suitable for the co

It's that time of year when students are learning about Classification! :) Enclosed is a Dichotomous Key Template for those days when students are building their own Dichotomous Keys at the end of the unit. :) This product allows up to 20 "choices" of A and B. Let me know how this worked out for you! Please rate this product if you've used it in your classroom.

Whether you teach Science or Shop Class, your students are going to encounter some hazardous substances. Help prepare them to protect themselves by teaching them about Materials Safety Data Sheets and the NFPA "Fire Hazard Diamond" symbols. I’ve included the following items: 1. MSDS Guided Reading: You can give this to your students for homework or at the end of class to introduce them to what a MSDS is. 2. MSDS Quick Quiz: Give this to your students after they’ve completed the reading. You c

Science puns help to break the ice when learning new concepts. This worksheet will help to familiarize students with the notation of using symbols to describe specific elements, along with helping to get them used to locating elements on the Periodic Table. Each set of element-to-symbol matching spells out a silly science pun. Jokes are appropriate for all ages and levels. This activity includes an answer key.

Test student understanding about the characteristics of Transverse versus Longitudinal Waves using this Venn Diagram. Great as a homework assignment, review at the end of a unit, or an extra challenge for your GT kids. I've enclosed two versions -- one with a bank of 24 characteristics to help prompt your students and get them thinking, and one without prompts for a more open-ended individual/small-group assignment. Enjoy this product and let me know how it worked for you!

These "Exit Tickets" are a great way to assess student learning at the beginning or end of class to review major concepts. These will cover the first couple of weeks of Physics, covering topics such as converting SI units, reviewing Accuracy vs. Precision, and covering Distance, Displacement, and Resultants in the form of math problems, graphing, and conceptual short-answer questions. Each page has 2-3 duplicates of the question, helping you save paper! These are appropriate for high schoo

The objective of this folding graphic organizer is to help students decipher the characteristics of Alpha, Beta and Gamma Decay as they delve into Nuclear Chemistry. Students will identify types of Nuclear Decay Reactions and Characteristics of the Decay Processes, including energy emissions, parent-daughter nuclei comparisons, types of particles involved, etc. This activity would be appropriate for homework, an end-of-topic activity, or even a quick assessment. There are two versions of thi

This is a paper-saving (2 per page) warmup that can also make a great short quiz to assess your students' knowledge of wavelength vs. frequency, frequency vs. pitch, amplitude and its relationship to energy, and constructive/destructive interference. This assignment would be appropriate for Middle School General/Physical Science, High School Physics or a High School Physics/Chemistry course. Students will compare the characteristics of "Wave A" to "Wave B" over the course of its travel in 1 s

This is a definition review activity for the fundamentals of Mitosis. Students will fill in the vocabulary words that match the given descriptors. Then, they will use the numbers from the bubbles to spell out a mystery message...AKA a cheesy science joke that I made up. Hopefully it will get a snort out of you, too :) Thanks for visiting, and please rate my products! Enjoy!

This is a mini assignment that is perfect for a class warmup to review ionic charges and ionic bonding. This would also make a great quiz. Students will review the predicted ionic charges, then will do a brief 9-part criss-cross ionic bonding chart to practice predicted ionic bonds. There are two assignments per page to keep the required number of copies per class down. I have also included an answer key on the second page.

Test student understanding about the process of Mitosis and Meiosis using this Venn Diagram. Great as a homework assignment, review at the end of a unit, or an extra challenge for your GT kids. I've enclosed two versions -- one with prompts to help kids get started thinking about what to compare/contrast, and one without, for those self-starters. :) Enjoy this product and let me know how it worked for you!

Can your students make 100 words from Deoxyribonucleic Acid? They may think they can't -- but they'll be surprised! This is an activity that makes a great extra credit assignment, time-soaker or a fun game on an "off" sort of day, especially if you offer a little prize or incentive! Please enjoy and leave me a rating! Thanks.

This is a quick warmup or exit-ticket for students that are learning the Gas Laws in Chemistry. This FREE product walks you through Gay-Lussac's Law from identifying P1, T1, P2, T2 through converting back and forth from Kelvin to Celsius. Students will feel comfortable working through each well-explained step of the real-world example. This is intended for High School Chemistry or Physics. Papersaver: I have put two assignments on the page so that you can use half the paper to teach twice
