In this two page biodiversity index practice for middle school science, students practice calculating the biodiversity index by analyzing three sets of data and explaining how an environmental factor can affect biodiversity. First, they look at a quadrat to determine the number of species and individuals, represented by different shapes. They calculate the index and explain whether the area has high or low biodiversity. Next, students read a bar graph and data table to determine the numb

In this online activity for a middle school science ecology unit, students will use the OCEARCH.org website to identify a shark they want to track!

My students love the chance to get out of their seats and collect data from their classmates. In this middle school science activity, students will poll their classmates to collect data about the number of students who have each eye color. Once they've collected their data, students will calculate the percentage of their classmates who have each eye color. Then, they will compare the results to the estimated global eye color data. This activity can be printed out or assigned digitally through

This product includes a teacher guide and Google Slides presentation for walking your students through a consensus placemat activity where they discuss examples of matter. After they agree on a list of examples, they will collaborate to make a rule to describe what matter is and what matter is not. Then, as a class, you will discuss how their rules compare to the actual definition of matter.

In this sorting activity, students drag and drop the functions of the eye to match the structures of the eye (cornea, pupil, iris, lens, retina, and optic nerve).
