This is a great resource to review the rock cycle. In this game, each student starts out as one of the following materials: Igneous Rock, Metamorphic Rock, Sedimentary Rock, Sediment, or Maga. At their station, they roll the dice to see what process happens to their type of rock. Based on that process, their material changes into another type of material. I set each type of material out around the room as stations. See the example below: My first type of rock was a sedimentary rock.I rolled

We make oobleck when we are learning about the states of matter. After making the oobleck, I use this Google Slides presentation to walk the students through several "tests" to help them determine theoobleck's state of matter. (Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid, and it exhibits the properties of both liquids and solids.)

In this activity, each student was given a bowl of Fruitloops. You could also use Skittles, M & Ms, beads, or other mixtures. As the students learned how to classify matter, they used their Fruitloops to make models on this sheet.

This simple science lab lets students become acquainted with basic lab supplies and practice following lab directions. See my Rainbow Directions Lab Student sheet in my store for the accompanying lab sheet.

These classroom rules spell out the word SCIENCE. See the accompanying student sheet in my store.

This color-by-number activity helps student practice some the vocabulary words associated with the rock cycle.

I use this Google Slides presentation the the Pear Deck extension to Chrome to review for our cells and cell organelle test.

I use this Google Slides presentation when teaching the students about the rock cycle. See the accompanying Rock Cycle Vocabulary Sheet in my store.

To introduce our Earth Science unit, we tour several unique geographical features. I hang these posters around the room, the students scan the QR codes, and they record their observations and questions in their interactive science notebook.

This product contains three files about the rock cycle. The first document is a PowerPoint explaining the rock cycle and the three different types of rocks. The second document is flipbook that goes with the PowerPoint. To assemble the flipbook, print the flipbook front-to-back. Fold the flipbook on the solid line middle line and trim the extra inch on the bottom off. We also do an activity with Starburst to model the rock cycle. You can find examples of this activity on YouTube!

This activity allows students to practice using plural noun rules. The second page of the document has lists of singular nouns. The students use the plural noun rules on the first page to write the plural version of each noun.

I use this Google Slides presentation to introduce fossils. The slides begin by explaining what a fossil is. The middle section of the slides walks the students through a lab where the students make their fossils with plaster of Paris.

I print, laminate, cut out, and hang this word wall in my room during our genetics unit. It includes the following vocabulary words: allele, chromosome, dominant, DNA, gene, genotype, heterozygous, homozygous, phenotype, punnett square, and recessive.

This student notes sheet accompanies my Body Systems Google Slides presentation, which you can also find in my store. For each body system, the students record the function and parts of each system. On the final sheet, the students cut out the picture of each body system, and glue it on the corresponding part of the notes sheet. They only glue on the "glue here" portion of the notes sheet, which allows each picture to act as a flap that opens and closes.

This resource explains the parts and functions of five body systems: circulatory, respiratory, digestive, nervous, immune, and muscular/skeletal. See the accompanying student sheet in my store that goes with this presentation.

This flipbook accompanies the rock cycle Google Slides presentation in my store.

I use this foldable at the beginning of our genetics unit. See the accompanying Google Slides presentation in my store.

Use this worksheet to help your students get acquainted with the Periodic Table of Elements.
