Use this fully editable webquest to provide a background behind the energy transfer between nuclear energy and how it is converted to electricity. Bonus includes a four-square phenomena covering Cherenkov Radiation; a unique form of radiation only emitted during the start-up of a nuclear reactor.

This activity is an interactive reading and review exercise where students learn about the physical properties of minerals and then apply their understanding through a color-by-number task. First, students read an informational passage explaining key mineral properties such as color, streak, luster, hardness, cleavage, fracture, density, and special properties. They then answer multiple-choice questions based on the reading, with each answer corresponding to a specific color. Using their answers

This foldable fits well in any middle school interactive student notebook and includes definitions for key terms, formulas to solve for each term, how to derive the formula for each term, and an easy to comprehend layout for students to refer to when learning about Forces and Motion - Speed.

Use these lab stations as an activity that will let your students experience Newton's Laws of Motion hands on and with materials you most likely have at your site or materials you can easily find around your house. Each station investigates different aspects of Newton's Laws; 12 stations total. Includes answer document (linked on intro slide). Fully editable.

Ever wonder how to introduce or reinforce the concept of Universal Gravitation with your introductory physics students? I did, and couldn't find anything that was deeper than reading text, so I made this webquest that involves researching weight on different planets/moon, mass v. weight, universal gravitation basics, and universal gravitation calculations .

Use this classic lab with your students to provide a model and example of Newton's Laws of Motion. The lab requires construction and testing/modification to collect a set of data that includes velocity and momentum as well as graphically interpreting the results. Fully editable, the lab requires materials that you can collect from your site or home (cardboard, rubber bands, etc.) with other minimal set-up. Can be completed as a group, individually, or as a part of a competition!

Use Claim, Evidence, Reasoning to home your students logical reasoning and critical thinking skills using real life, science based content. Fully editable. Includes 8 slides: Intro w/ question: How are seatbelts related to Newton's First Law of Motion? Question mark is linked with a video that describes the answer.

Use this slide show, combined with the template, to create a foldable that guides students through how motion is measured and visualized/graphed. This foldable reviews the following concepts of motion: No MotionConstant MotionDifferent SpeedsAccelerationFormulae/DefinitionsThe slideshow also provides practice slides that enhance student understanding of the concepts. This activity can be teacher led or self-guided.

Use this webquest to help students gain a stronger understanding of the basics about Motion. Sections include: Motion BasicsSir Isaac NewtonMotion Coaster

Use these SBAC style questions to induce your student's critical thinking skills, using what they know/learned about Newton's first and second laws of motion. Fully editable to suit your classroom needs, this can be completed as a class, in groups, individually, or broken up into 'stations'. Ten thought inducing questions included with the templates to respond to the questions. Pairs well with: Intro to Physics - Newton's Third (3) Law of Motion - Conceptual Questions

Use this 'four-square' phenomena worksheet to provide students with uncommon examples of how electromagnetic radiation impacts our universe. Phenomenon examples include: 'Arrow changes direction', 'disappearing beaker', and 'plasma grapes'. Includes worksheet, level 2 questions template, example.

Use this scavenger hunt as a tool to reinforce Net Force in a hands-on and exciting way. Have students solve for Net Force problems, prompting them to visit another station upon the answer. Includes: Scavenger Hunt DirectionsScavenger Hunt Answer DocumentsScavenger Hunt PlacardsScavenger Hunt Key

The Compounds and Chemical Bonding Performance Task includes three differentiated levels to allow students to demonstrate understanding of compounds, chemical bonds, and chemical reactions. Focused mainly on Ionic and Covalent bonding, the editable file is easily modified to incorporate other concepts at different grade levels such as metallic bonding, exo/endothermic reactions, combustion reactions, etc. This is a rubric with three different modifications making it more accessible to a broad ra

This self-guided discovery of what the metric system is and how to use the metric system is a perfect preview for the second portion of the activity where students create their own mnemonic to help them understand and remember the order, prefixes of, and conversions between the units of the metric system.

Use these SBAC style questions to induce your student's critical thinking skills, using what they know/learned about Newton's third (3) law of motion. Fully editable to suit your classroom needs, this can be completed as a class, in groups, individually, or broken up into 'stations'. Ten thought inducing questions included with the templates to respond to the questions. Pairs well with: Intro to Physics - Newton's First and Second Laws of Motion - Conceptual Questions

Use this Frayer Model-based vocabulary unit to reinforce important terms for any study into Forces, Newton's Laws of Motion, and many other physical science applications. Fully editable. Can be printed two-to-a-page and two-sided or used as a digital assignment.

Use this activity to explore how we use the electromagnetic spectrum to monitor our universe systems from Earth's orbit. Activity asks students to click on various satellites from the graphic which will provide information for students to research on how the satellite/tool are used to monitor Earth and provide data. Fully editable, this document transfers well to google slides, or answer documents can be printed and the activity can be completed physically. Pairs well with: Intro to Physics - In
