This resource is a two-page visual notes sheet that will teach students the basics of cellular respiration. Students will color and analyze a graphic model of a mitochondrion. Emphasis is on understanding that during cellular respiration, glucose molecules combine with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water, which releases energy. The second page of the notes features a diagram that compares photosynthesis to cellular respiration. Included:2 Page Guided Doodle Notes — Fill-in-the-Blank This

This resource is a two-page visual notes sheet that will teach students the basics of chemical reactions. Emphasis is on helping students understand that during a chemical reaction the atoms that make up the original substances are regrouped into different molecules, and these new substances have different properties from those of the reactants (NGSS MS PS1.B). This resource also includes a second page that describes the characteristics of endothermic and exothermic reactions. Included:2 Page Gu

Engaging Two-page Acids and Bases V I S U A L Doodle Notes Activity Concepts Covered:Page one of the visual notes discusses the properties of acids and bases and page two explains the pH scale. I have also included an additional (and optional) 3rd-page C hecking for Understanding worksheet. Why Doodle Notes?Doodle notes are a form of visual note-taking that embeds brain-based research elements such as dual-coding theory. Dual coding theory emphasizes the use of mental images to aid learning. I

This resource is a two-page visual notes sheet that will teach students the basics of photosynthesis. Students will color and analyze a graphic model of a leaf that has been cut open to show key structures (chloroplasts and stomata). Emphasis is on helping students understand that plants capture sunlight and use the energy to transform carbon dioxide and water into glucose (food). The second page of the notes emphasizes that photosynthesis is a chemical reaction. Since most recipes involve chemi

Students will create a Frayer model foldable which will help them understand the difference between a physical property, chemical property, physical change, and chemical change. The foldable will require students to define the target vocabulary word, draw a picture, and apply the information by generating examples and non-examples for each vocabulary term. The foldable is designed to fit on a standard 8.5 x 11 paper and requires printing two pages (double-sided). This resource makes a great inte

This resource is a two-page doodle notes sheet regarding Experimental Design. This doodle note best aligns with the NGSS Science and Engineering Practice of Planning and Carrying Out Investigations. The vocabulary includes observation, asking scientific questions, hypothesis, science variables, independent variable, dependent variable, controlled variable, experimental and control groups, data, and writing a conclusion. Included:2 Page Guided Doodle Notes— Fill-in-the-Blank (with an example ex

Students will complete a one-page claim, evidence, reasoning (CER) writeup where they will answer the following writing prompt: "A block of ice is placed in a frying pan and heated until it reaches boiling (100 degrees Celsius). What three states of matter occur during this experiment? Justify your answer with molecular diagrams and a written explanation." This assessment requires students to think beyond the "just because" answer and include evidence (molecular diagrams) and reasoning to back u

This resource is a two-page visual notes sheet that will teach students how to draw molecular models. Emphasis is on developing models that vary in complexity using the HONC 1234 rule—a simple mnemonic device that shows the number of bonds that common elements form. This resource was specifically designed to meet the NGSS standard MS-PS1: 1. Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures. Included:2 Page Guided Doodle Notes — Fill-in-the-Blank Thi

Students will create a Frayer model foldable which will help them understand the three types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, & transform boundaries. This foldable will require students to define the target vocabulary word, write the essential characteristics of the vocabulary word, draw a picture, and generate examples + non-examples. This is an excellent way for students to master difficult science vocabulary. How is this product useful?✔ Helps students master science vocabulary ✔ R

Students will create a Frayer model foldable which will help them understand how energy moves through different trophic levels within an ecosystem. Students will complete Frayer models for 4 different trophic levels: producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers. This Frayer model foldable will require students to define the target vocabulary words, draw a picture of the concept, and apply this information by generating examples and non-examples for each vocabulary wo
