Student use the given binary code to shade (or not shade) boxes in the grid. If they do it correctly, it will make a picture! They also have a chance to make their own and convert it to binary code! The last form, Form R, is a bit of a troll. I teach 7th and 8th grade and it takes a LONG time time for them to finish. The image created makes a QR code that takes them to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" on YouTube. I'm really proud of that one. I tested and re-tested it to make sure it work

I have taught middle school general science for 14 years and decided to create a resource that we were missing: a pointed and accurate reference that fully explains each Science and Engineering Practice. If students understood and practiced the skills in all 52 sub-categories, I have great confidence they will do well on the 8th grade NGSS test, not to mention become a more productive critical-thinking citizen. Each lesson is presented in beautiful full-color PDF that can be digitally distribute

This is a bundle of 5 worksheets (the first of which can be downloaded for free) that emphasizes the identification of variables, constants, controls, conclusions, and sources of error in scientific experiments. I have been assigning worksheets like this for homework to improve scientific literacy in my students. I hope you find them helpful!

In this investigation students will create a scale model of the solar system on their way to figure out why Ganymede (Jupiter's largest moon) orbits Jupiter instead of the Sun even though it is bigger than Mercury which orbits the Sun. In this 6 part investigation, students will mainly be analyzing data, creating graphs, looking for patterns, and making arguments from evidence. Students will conclude that two things affect gravity: the mas of the two objects, and distance between them. This inve

This is a generic video worksheet I have used with my students to ensure they pay attention to any of the Discovery: Life episodes (not that it isn't extremely interesting anyway).I have shown most of the series during my genetics and evolution unit and have used this worksheet many times. It is also great for substitutes! Students find it easy to fill out and is a great way for them to remember which organisms were in which video and it serves as a discussion point later on. Enjoy!

I made this worksheet in response to my students weak skills in experiments. This worksheet is designed to help students understand the elements of scientific experiments like independent and dependent variables, constants, conclusions, and sources of error through example experiments. This is the first in a series of 5, and I hope to make many more and package it as a workbook.
