Students watch "Flush to Finish" to learn what happens to water as soon as it goes down the drain or toilet and is normally forgotten about. This video shows the importance of water conservation, appreciation for water as a resource, and how to keep the water cycle clean.
Students work through the scientific method to practice observations, research statements, hypotheses, variables, and conclusions.They analyze the fascinating scene unfolding in front of them to learn about bonds and equilibrium. You can even relate this to their own lives and why we use soap to wash our clothes/dishes!
This assessment will test the students' knowledge of Observations, Research, and Hypotheses. It narrows in on qualitative vs. quantitative observations, inferences vs. predictions, and independent vs. dependent vs. controlled variables.
I made a new rock cycle test for my students that I think matches my learning targets better. This assesses the rock cycle and many characteristics of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks.
Here is a power point that I have perfected over the years. It includes information on abiotic vs. biotic factors, characteristics of living things, classification systems, autotrophs vs. heterotrophs, and the 6 kingdoms! You will love this information-packet power point.
Attached are two documents. The first is a spreadsheet of 6 different cities followed by columns for the date, sunrise time, sunset time, high temperature, low temperature and 2-3 websites where information can be found. (This wouldn't load as a preview.)
The second is the sheet you see below with questions encouraging students to analyze their data for patterns to learn more about how the globe is affected by Earth's revolution around the Sun.
This power point is great for Smart boards etc. Its slides are linked to the first one so that students can take turns matching vocabulary terms to their definitions. Just like in the game "Memory", students must remember what they have seen so they can make each correct match.
Test assessing multiple forms of energy and how they can be transferred. Includes questions about potential, kinetic, water, wind, biomass, fossil fuels, and more.
Use live data to help students analyze information using technology!
Students can work in groups of two or four to complete this presentation and even be assigned their own tasks!
These worksheets can be used for whole-class, small group, or individual instruction. I begin them in class and have students finish them for homework.
The sheets cover observations, both quantitative and qualitative, and inferences.
This presentation offers students multiple ideas of what they could make to review earth's interior, earthquakes, and/or volcanoes. Students may create something with their family and present it to the class to re-teach us about one of the past three chapters.
