This is an expanded version of the free isolines practice that I offer. In addition to the isolines practice that that file has, this one also includes notes about isolines to go over with students, as well as answer keys to the notes and practice worksheets.

Students graph coastal water levels for two different cities, and discuss relationships that exist. Skills Practiced: graphing, reviewing the main graph types, applying math concepts to real life

Students graph distances to various galaxies vs their speeds, and infer a direct relationship between the two. Skills Practiced: graphing, reviewing the main graph types, applying math concepts to real life

When asked which math topic is their least favorite, many students would say Proofs. This is understandable, especially when students don't have good examples to study. This packet contains nine proofs in various forms: fill-in-the-blank (for if you are just starting proofs with your class), unstructured (for classes who have been practicing proofs for a bit and don't need the help), and the answer keys (suitable to go with either previous version). I envision this packet as a transition betw

This worksheet gives a graph (showing the temperatures of soil and water as they heat & cool) and asks students to calculate the rates of change on various intervals. The handout is printable in black/white/grey, and the answer key is attached (answers are filled-in in color). This worksheet is suitable for an Earth Science class as an application of specific heats and rates of heating/cooling, or a Math class as practice reading graphs and calculating slopes.

This is a ten-page fill-in-the-blank style review of the main ideas that students should have learned (or skills that they need to be able to do) from the first 40 labs that I do in 9th/10th grade Earth Science (to help prepare students for the NYS Regents exam). I have included PDFs of the blank version and answer key just in case, but I assume you will edit the Word file because you have probably done some different labs in your class. I do not want my answer keys floating around the internet

Kids do lots of homework/practice/exercises, generally for a test. I wanted to give my students something that wasn't tested but would still be valuable to their lives/development. So far, I have typed up enrichment activities that have kids exercising, baking, improving how well they deal with uncertainty, typing equations (instead of hodgepodging it), learning an easier quadratic formula (because I'm a math teacher, after all), learning new study skills, improving communication, and learning

In this worksheet, students review some galaxy types, how scientists determine temperature, composition, distance, & speed from starlight, the name & structure of our galaxy, the definition of a light year, and three pieces of evidence for the Big Bang.

some simple worksheets so students can practice connecting the dots to form isolines
