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.

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.

This foldable directs students to research a current definition for each of the laws of motion and allows them to think deeply into what the laws actually mean by creating their own definition. Beyond that, students are required to apply the laws of motion by designing and sketching an experiment that exemplifies and applies each law of physics. The lab is self-guided and allows for the students to create an experiment for each of the laws of motion rather than just draw the laws of motion. Stud

Use this graphic organizer to help students get a stronger understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum using research to identify the different frequencies of the EMS, listing characteristics, and providing color to different energy levels. 3 pages: TitleDirectionsGraphic Organizer Easy to print/copy two-sided.

Use this lab to reinforce calculating speed in a hand-on manner. Students will walk normally, walk backwards, speed walk, and hop their way to speed-calculation success!

Great document on several types of foldables across all content areas.
