A math worksheet centered on calculating volume with fractional edge lengths:Take your students beyond basic whole-number calculations with this targeted practice worksheet on finding the volume of rectangular prisms using fractions and mixed numbers. This resource bridges the gap between spatial reasoning and advanced arithmetic, ensuring students master the volume formula, even when the dimensions aren't perfect integers.

Introduction to Punnett Squares AND Quick Guide: This is both an introductory note set and a quick note guide with keys. Teaching time is variable: different note sets are included for various uses. You can use the half sheet as a reference guide, or do the notes and guided practice set with your class. Three different note versions for each type of notes (there are two types):Color version (good for posting for digital reference) Completely filled out version (used as a key or as a handout)S

Earth Sun Moon System doodle notes that address the two essential questions: How does Earth’s motion affect the amount of daylight and the seasons? Why do Earth and the moon remain in orbit?Note set w/o slides - to be completed as a class.

This note set covers a whole lesson on "Interactions in Ecosystems" which works within our unit on "Populations, Communities, and Ecosystems." The guided notes include an answer key, and build off of prior scaffolding regarding basic principles of food webs, food pyramids, transfer of energy and matter, and competition in an ecosystem. This note set covers: adaptations and survivalnichescompetition and predationthe three types of symbiotic relationships and examples

This set of notes covers the excretory (and integumentary) system, and is part of our Human Body Systems Unit (that later ties into frog dissection). This note set is followed by the other body systems, and can be purchased as an entire unit bundle.

This set of notes covers the controlling processes (nervous system), and is part of our Human Body Systems Unit (that later ties into frog dissection). This note set is followed by the other body systems, and can be purchased as an entire unit bundle.

This set of notes covers the respiratory system, and is part of our Human Body Systems Unit (that later ties into frog dissection). This note set is followed by the other body systems, and can be purchased as an entire unit bundle.

This set of notes covers the double loop circulatory system , and is part of our Human Body Systems Unit (that later ties into frog dissection). This note set is followed by the other body systems, and can be purchased as an entire unit bundle.

This set of notes covers the the circulatory and cardiovascular system, and is part of our Human Body Systems Unit (that later ties into frog dissection). This note set is followed by the other body systems, and can be purchased as an entire unit bundle.

This set of notes covers the human digestive system, and is part of our Human Body Systems Unit (that later ties into frog dissection). This note set is followed by the other body systems, and can be purchased as an entire unit bundle.

Two pages with four different science themed valentines on each page (totalling 8 unique science pun valentines.) There is a black and white set and a color set included. Print on white paper and allow students to color them, print on color and hand them out, print a color version, or do whatever else you'd like with them! My middle schoolers love these and appreciate a good science pun moment - I hand these out to them and allow them to give them to their friends :)

YOU WILL NEED: Pre-identified rocks and mineralsBlack Streak PlatesWhite Streak PlatesThis mini lab is best for: Students who already have background information on the differences between rocks and minerals. Who have already been exposed to what streak plates are used for.Have background on Mohs Scale. (In the preview, you can see everything this mini lab covers.)This is a short lab designed to be done in groups where students try to use Mohs scale of hardness, and physical characteristics o

This activity can be used as a daily entry task, as a daily activity, and could be implemented in a variety of ways. This is used in my classroom as an entry task activity during our "Predicting Weather Changes" Lesson. In the download you'll find a sample, and a website for reference to use for an interactive weather map.

This self guided worksheet uses the NOAA website as a webquest for students to learn about the different tools meteorologists use to forecast weather. This should be used after students have already completed lessons on air masses, fronts, etc. OR could be used prior to a unit on Earth's weather as an investigation tool to familiarize students with the different types of tools used in forecasting. This download includes an answer key.

These interactive notes go through the Cell Cycle and the phases of Mitosis. These notes were built with the Elevate Science (course 2) curriculum in mind.
