Making Science Fun

This is a card sort that is also a cut and paste activity. I spent 10 minutes on direct instruction and cornell notes, show a video then pass out this activity. Students cut out the 16 images and place them in the correct column under atom, element, molecule or compound. Use of interactive notebook: I have my students complete notes on the right (input) side and complete the cut and paste card sort on the left (output) side. This activity worksheet fits in composition books.

Teachers: Teacher will print power point on card stock, I recommend 4-6 slides per page to make them into cards. Each set should have a number or color mark on them. Example, one set of cards should all have a blue star on them and another set of cards should have a pink star written on each card. This will prevent card decks from being mixed up between groups. Students will receive a stack of cards. Teacher should ask students to count the numbers of cards in the set, it should be 16. Students
