Inspired by the Dr. Seuss book, "The Shape of Me and Other Stuff", this resource is a great way to celebrate Read Across America week and Dr. Seuss's birthday. Read the book to your students (not provided) and then extend the activities with this fun language arts rhyme and accompanying lab station that explores the properties of matter of slime (recipe included). Your students will be able to incorporate language arts fun and STEM in one great activity!
Show students how stars in the sky can be classified just like stars in movies can. In this activity students will classify 10 of the top STAR WARS "star" characters according to their brightness (intellect, talent, skill level) and temperature or relative "hotness" (think Luke Skywalker and Han Solo ;-) Students will use a hyperlinked resource to read a brief synopsis and character description for STAR WARS' top characters to help them determine both luminosity and temperature relative to the o
Have a great time with your students counting atoms in chemical formulas guised as fast food orders. Hydrogen Hamburgers (H), Fluorine Fish (F), Francium Fries (Fr), Cobalt Coke (Co), Iodine Ice Cream (I), Nitrogen Nuggets (N) and many more! Students will practice reading coefficients and subscripts from a Molecular McMenu of fast food formulas.

Students build chemical formulas with beads as atoms and paper clips to bond them into molecules. Makes reading chemical formulas a breeze...you just can't "bead" it!
