This PowerPoint was designed to help my students with their mastery of the experimental design questions found in Objective 1: Nature of Science on the TAKS test in Texas. If your students are struggling with their understanding of experimental design, this lesson can help bring them some clarity. It helps students understand how to identify the independent and dependent variables, constants, hypothesis, control group and the conclusion. It also emphasizes that factors that can keep a hypothe

Everything you need to teach students about metals, nonmetals and metalloids on the Periodic Table! Students understand content best when they can figure it out for themselves through their own explorations. The sorting activity included in this product allows them to do just that with metals, nonmetals and metalloids. Students are given 18 full-color cards and allowed to sort them according to the properties of the elements. Students find the patterns for themselves and in doing so, determin

This PowerPoint is a student centered activity that allows students generate Punnett squares for crosses between subjects which demonstrates the codominance of blood types. A Punnett Square is generated along with the percentages of each phenotype. This is especially great for beginners and students who need extra assistance. The PowerPoint acts as a personal tutor that allows students to check their understanding of Punnett Squares and how to interpret them. Every possible ABO blood type combin

These notes coincide with the Scientific Notation PowerPoint that is also available. They allow students to build an understanding of what positive and negative coefficients mean, how to decide which coefficient to use, and how to multiply and divide numbers in scientific notation through comparison and practice. This lesson has worked well in my classroom to teach and review the basics of scientific notation.

This PowerPoint allows teachers to step students through the major concepts surrounding the usage of scientific notation. Students learn when to use positive and negative exponents, which exponent to use, how to place numbers in scientific notation in a graphing calculator and how to multiply and divide numbers in scientific notation. Great for use at any level, and the student notes page is available for FREE!

This interactive PowerPoint allows students to select the organelle that they would like to study. Students click on the name of the organelle and are taken to a page with images and the basic facts about the organelle. Teachers can even modify the presentation to make sure any facts they want included are provided. Students can fill in their own notes as they go along drawing a sketch of the organelle and summarizing the information. A student note page is available for free! This activity

These notes coincide with the Experimental Design PowerPoint. It was designed to help my students with their mastery of the experimental design questions found in Objective 1: Nature of Science on the TAKS test in Texas. It helps students understand how to identify the independent and dependent variables, constants, hypothesis, control group and the conclusion. It also emphasizes that factors that can keep a hypothesis or conclusion from being valid (emotions, opinions, random sampling, and l

This set of flash cards will be a great addition to any chemistry unit! This includes all 9 sets of cards which each address a specific chemistry topic. (Over 225 cards in all!) Students will not only learn facts through traditional flash cards, but they will also master essential skills such as identifying elements or distinguishing between elements and compounds. These cards are great bellringers, and they can be used throughout the year to review these key facts and skills whenever there a

These flash cards are a great addition to any chemistry unit! These 32 flash cards are aligned to TEKS 8.5(E), and they cover a wide range of physical and chemical changes! Each chemical change includes a description of the signs of a chemical change that the students should have identified. Every sign of a chemical change that your students will need to recognize is represented! You are purchasing fully editable Word documents, so you’ll be able to customize these cards and add to these sets

These flash cards are a must have for any chemistry unit! These two sets cover the most fundamental concepts in chemistry: The Structure of Atoms and The Periodic Table! These 36 flash cards are aligned to TEKS 8.5(A), 8.5(B), and 8.5(C), and they are full of graphics and diagrams to make sure your students are ready for the big test! You are purchasing fully editable Word documents, so you’ll be able to customize these cards and add to these sets to make them work for your students! Include

These skills regularly appear on STAAR, but many students struggle to distinguish between elements and compounds and recognize organic compounds. Help all your students succeed with only a few minutes of review! In only a few minutes, students will be able to get rid of their misconceptions and master these simple concepts! These cards are great as bellringer activities and as part of interventions and reviews! Includes the Following Sets: 1. Distinguishing Between Elements & Compounds 2. Re

Help your student master the skills they will need to succeed! These three sets of flash cards provide your students with plenty of practice and instant feedback to help them master these skills associated with the structure of atoms. Students will identify elements from diagrams, tables and paragraphs! They will identify the number of valence electrons in diagrams and using the periodic table! And students will calculate the number of neutrons and the mass numbers of various isotopes! Thes

Understanding chemical formulas is one of the most highly tested chemistry standards on the STAAR, so let’s make sure your students are prepared! This set of flash cards helps students practice and master the skills of determining the number of atoms of an element and the total number of atoms in a compound! EVERY card in the set has a question about a specific element and asks students to count up the total number of atoms. Giving students instant feedback and an explanation of the math will

These notes are meant to coincide with the Eukaryotic Cell Interactive PowerPoint that is also available. This PowerPoint allows the students to gather information about the cell�s organelles in a non-linear fashion that gives them control over their own learning and note taking. Students can travel through the information in any order and are given space to sketch the organelles and summarize the information provided. This can also be used as a classroom lecture tool where the
