A set of 24 Physics Task Cards for Energy, Work and Power. Problems range from basic calculations and descriptions to more challenging word problems and two-step calculations. Answer Key (included) has been triple-checked and allow for teachers to use gravity = 9.8, 9.81 or 10 m/s^2 without students messing up their answer choices. These problems would be appropriate for High School Level (or advanced Middle School) students, either as a summative assessment at the end of an Energy unit, or t

Valence Electrons -- if students don't understand them, then how can they ever learn to bond? (I made a pun there...I'll get my coat. :-) ) This is a set of 20 task cards for Valence Electrons and Lewis Dot Diagrams. I have included a Student Response document and an Answer Key with suggested answers. Topics Covered Include: ~ Identify the Element ~ Understanding Valence Electrons ~ Predicting Ions ~ Stable Octets ~ Introduction to Basic Atomic Structure (2, 8 Energy Levels) ~ Identify the Le

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

Your students can memorize all of the lab safety rules that you want them to, but how about switching it up? Students will be presented with 16 scenarios that could potentially happen in any classroom, each with a disaster. Your students have to determine what went wrong, and what rules needed to be followed. I've included this as a worksheet with the 16 scenarios and as separate cards that can be randomly distributed to individual/small-group settings. Another potential use is to choose one

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

This is my "One Dollar Wonder" for "Characteristics of Living Things" Biology/Environmental Science/Life Science review. Eight different questions of varying detail, to see if your students get it! Neutral enough for Middle School and High School biology, chemistry, physics, general science, etc. Yes, for less than the price of a your gas station coffee on the way to school, you can fill in those first or last few minutes of class and assess whether your kids really have a clue! Also great for

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.

24 Meiosis Task Cards to help your students review critical concepts of the ever-so-tricky process of Meiosis. This is geared towards high school Biology or Anatomy but also would be appropriate for a college Biology 101 class. In addition to covering the concepts of the two phases of Meiosis, the task cards also review the fundamentals of gametogenesis, including X and Y chromosomal inheritance, nondisjunction, trisomy, spermatogenesis, oogenesis, polar bodies and chromosomal abnormalities.

Quickly assess whether your students "get it" before they get at it in lab! Welcome to my first "One Dollar Wonder," a set of Lab Safety assessment questions for quick review or time soakers at the beginning or end of your class. Yes, for less than the price of a your gas station coffee on the way to school, you can fill in those first or last few minutes of class and assess whether your kids really have a clue! Also great for extra credit, too. EIGHT different questions/worksheets for you t

This file is compatible for Adobe Reader 6 and later, and is split into separate pages to prevent printer buffer overload. This is a set of 32 high-resolution and visually appealing Thermochemistry Task Cards. They cover the following concepts: Endothermic and Exothermic Energy Diagrams Entropy and Enthalpy Phase Change Diagrams Heat of Formation Calorimetry (with Specific Heat Problems) Review of found

Enclosed is a set of 24 task cards suitable for assessing student understanding of the foundations of MITOSIS. This set would be suitable for middle school and high school biology, or to review basic concepts with an AP biology class before delving into deeper understanding. Each card is numbered clearly so students know which card goes with each answer. Bright, stimulating colors keep student interest and highly-legible font makes this a fun activity. Perfect for small-group or individual ass

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!

PLEASE READ: File has been REVISED on 4/18/15 in response to a complaint about file being unprintable. File has been broken down into individual pages and has been made compatible to programs as old as Adobe Reader 6. This is a set of 24 Task Cards covering the concepts of the Gas Laws. The cards cover Boyle's Law, Charles's Law, Avogadro's Law, Gay-Lussac's Law, Ideal Gas Law, and the Kinetic Theory of Gases.
