I am so excited about sharing this product with you! This is a fun, simple way to teach the scientific method to elementary aged children! The file also includes a modification to add identification of variables for fourth grade and above. I have included lesson instructions, a crock pot hot cocoa recipe, and several worksheets that accompany the lesson. My favorite worksheet is a small foldable that allows the students to keep track of each step of the scientific method while testing toppin

Making "oobleck" and homemade bouncy balls is not a new thing to us "elementary scientists!" However, my students had SO MANY questions about this fun, hands-on science experiment, that I thought I'd let them take it home and answer those questions on their own! Since school is almost out for summer, I made these recipe cards, so they can make "oobleck" balls all summer! They all wanted to vary the amount of the ingredients to get more bounce or more stretch...the recipe gives them a place to

Have fun teaching students about mass and the scientific method using MARDI GRAS beads! This is a great addition to any social studies unit on Mardi Gras or science lesson on mass. The lesson only requires a few simple tools. I have designed this lesson using a cute little foldable with some great guiding questions. Thank you for checking out my latest product!

This is so much fun for the younger grades to learn about opportunity cost during a first, second, or third grade economics unit. It will require you to bring in some cupcakes and toppings, but it will motivate the students to learn and provide them a great example about making choices.Thank you for checking out my product.

Just in time for some Valentines Day fun! Use these super cute, heart organizers as a fun way to introduce or review the scientific method with your elementary students! I have included lesson instructions and suggestions, a review worksheet of the scientific method, and a worksheet and seperate foldable that will serve as a notebook for your little scientists. This is a great way to have your students develop their science as inquiry skills while practicing the scientific method!

Now is a great time to pick up some candy canes at more than 70% off their regular price! Why not use them to teach your students the SCIENTIFIC METHOD! This lesson is adaptable for many grade levels. It worked beutifully for my fourth graders and kept student engagement levels very high! The students will have practice at learning the thought process behind the steps of the SCIENTIFIC METHOD! Have a great time with this lesson and please leave feedback after your purchase! THANK YOU! http

THANK YOU so much for your interest in my product. I am very happy to provide you with some great tools to increase your students skills in Science as Inquiry! This lab is filled with lots of WATER fun! Have paper towels handy and enjoy the show. Your students are sure to learn so much about measuring volume and real life application in this FUN, engaging experiment. Please continue to look for my products in my Tpt store: Jill Bessetti

These recipe cards can be used for great fun in your "green" classroom! Students can also take them home and share what they learned with family members! I am working on a mini-unit to go along with these, but I wanted to share these with you first. When I used them, we tested and compared the natural products to store bought products. It made for a GREAT environmental science lesson!

Elementary students love MATTER! Here is a fun way to integrate science and math while learning all about matter! I have included a 1/2 page recording sheet, a foldable, and a full-page worksheet that can be used as a pre or post assessment! Get creative and have fun with a little bit of my "Matter of Hat" lesson!

Here is a FREEBIE that is SO MUCH FUN!!! My first graders love to sing about EVERYTHING! So here is my attempt to help them remember some basic principles about matter! I put 2 song copies on each sheet of paper (to conserve paper). ENJOY! Please visit my store on Tpt for more products to increase your students skills in Science! Thanks so much! Jill Bessetti

This is a great worksheet for students to do at home. They will get practice telling time and have fun doing it! I like this because it will have them thinking and looking at the time all night!

Here a quick freebie to help your students follow the scientific method while calculating the speed on smooth and rough surfaces! A towel or blanket works great as a rough surface and the floor is a very good smooth surface. The students can use matchbox cars to measure distance for this lesson.
