No fancy fonts, no fancy boarders. Just engaging activities. This collection of warm-ups includes all the tested TEKS for the 8th grade STAAR test, including 6th and 7th grade supporting standards. There are 100 total warm-ups starting with some process TEKS and then going to Reporting category 1, then 2, then 3, and finally 4. Most of the questions are open-ended so that students must explain their answer. Also include is a google doc that contains the TEKS for each day in case you do not teac

No fancy fonts, no fancy boarders. Just engaging activities. In this activity student determine which of the four items do not belong with the others. For example if a student is given the words: proton, neutron, electron, and nucleus they would have to determine that electron does not belong. Then the student would have to explain why each term does not belong with the others. This is a google slides assignment and would work well for google classroom. This assignment has information for how t

No fancy fonts, no fancy boarders. Just engaging activities. This activity can be done as a gallery walk or simply at a student's desk. In partners or by themselves. You choose. There are at least five questions per diagram. This activity covers properties of subatomic particles, protons determine element's identity, how to find valence electrons, valence electrons determine reactivity, and how to read Bohr Models. There are six total diagrams (all made in google drawing) that all look differen

No fancy font, no fancy boarder. Just engaging activities. This is, by far, one of my student's favorite review game. It is better than digital review game that I have ever tried. This game is very competitive and very engaging. The first few slides give the rules of the game. Then there are 34 review questions about chemical formulas and reactions. This game has questions for Texas Science TEKS 8.5D, E, and F.

No fancy fonts, no fancy boarders. Just engaging activities. This is a quick 15 question assessment to determine if your students are grasping atomic structure and the periodic table. Some of the questions are multiple choice, so are fill in the blank. Each student will need a periodic table to answer the last three questions on the assessment. An answer key is included.

No fancy fonts, no fancy boarders. Just engaging activities. As an educator I always realized the value of exit tickets to see if the students grasped what I was teaching that day. The only problem was I never spent time to create exit tickets ahead of time so I just hoped that my students understood my lesson. These exit tickets are meant to be quick, (not multiple choice so a student could just guess) engaging, and quick and easy to grade to assess which students grasped your lesson and which

No fancy font, no fancy boarder. Just engaging activities. This is, by far, my student's favorite review game. It is better than digital review game that I have ever tried. This game is very competitive and very engaging. The first slide gives you some teachers notes on how run the game effectively and the next few slides give the rules of the game. Then there are 40 review questions about the structure of an atom and the periodic table. Students will need a periodic table to complete this game

No Fancy Fonts, No Fancy Boarders, just Engaging Activities. This looping game is a spin off of the "I have..., who has..." except that it gets students up and moving. This activity can be played in pairs or singles for more of a challenge. Students will start at a random question/clue and race around to find the next clue. For example if their question says what is the positively charged particle they would have to race around to find the word proton. When they find the word proton, there will

No fancy fonts, no fancy boarders, just engaging activities. This activity covers subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Science TEK 8.5A. As a teacher I want to make sure my students have grasped what I taught them by the end of the week. So I created these weekly reviews that have all the information about a topic. You could give these at the beginning of the week to be completed throughout the week or given before a weekly quiz. This activity was designed for use on a platfor

This game is like the game show $10,000 pyramid but with a science spin. The instructions for the game are on the first screen. The first pyramid is just a warm-up slide, not on the topic so that student understand how to play. The second pyramid is where the game actually starts. There are three slides that contain science tools and safety equipment. Feel free to change the pictures, due to copyright I drew my own. Also to make the game harder, simply remove the pictures. To prevent the student

No fancy fonts, no fancy boarders. Just engaging activities. This is a more engaging way of determining the protons, neutrons, or electrons of an element. During this activity students will be given the protons, neutrons, or electrons of an element and they will use the chemical symbol to create a word. There is an answer key for this assignment.

No fancy fonts, no fancy boarders, just engaging activities. This activity covers valence electrons. Science TEK 8.5B. As a teacher I want to make sure my students have grasped what I taught them by the end of the week or end of a concept. So I created these weekly reviews that have all the information about a topic. You could give these at the beginning of the week to be completed throughout the week or given before a weekly (concept) quiz. This activity was designed for use on a platform like

You can complete this review as a whole class, in groups, or individually. The review covers subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons), identity of an element, valence electrons, properties of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids, and arrangement of the periodic table.
