Use this lab to build a connecting terrarium and aquarium with your students using pop bottles. This reinforces measurement, metrics, ecology, abiotic and biotic factors, water, carbon, and nitrogen cycles, and more! Students will love to watch their biospheres throughout the year as they learn what is required to sustain life.

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.

Use these 5 activities to bring STEAM to your school or classroom while spreading Olympic cheer.

30-question science pre-test for 7th grade aligned with the New Ohio Science Standards/Common Core

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 30 question pre-test is aligned with the New Ohio Learning Standards for Science.

What happens when milk is combined with coke? This cool reaction takes just 24 hours to see!

How many drops of water will the head of a penny hold? This lab is great for any time of the year to introduce or practice the scientific method. Make observations, a hypothesis, and analyze the surprising results!

This is a research project that allows students to guide their own learning about ten types/forms of energy. It includes a rubric for their presentation and note template for students to complete throughout all presentations! This project is a student favorite and lasts about a week.

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.

Assessment of the geologic time scale, fossils, relative and absolute age, etc.

This presentation allows students to review earthquakes, seismic waves, and faults.

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.

Students will review how humans have determined the age of earth through fossils, geologic events, relative dating, radioactive dating, and the exploration of outer space by creating a children's book.

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.

Notes about waves, their characteristics, wave interaction, properties of waves, and the two types of mechanical waves.

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.

Use this resource to bring engineering to life as students sketch, plan, budget for, and build the perfect leprechaun trap! Be sure to ask students what they want to buy from your store, how much it costs, and which coins they will need to purchase those items. This project was a lot of fun for my class.

Use this presentation to review polygons: quadrilaterals, and triangles with individual students, parterns, small group, or your whole class. There are ten questions with answers and a bonus.

10 questions refreshers for fractions, multiplication, division, measurement, geometry, and area/perimeter.
