This group project was used to review our Ratios and Proportions chapter in 7th grade math. It is a longer project that took us about a week to finish and we also had the opportunity to walk to our small grocery store as a part of it. First, students convert a recipe they have to serve a larger amount of people. Then, they combine all their ingredients as a group to create a shopping list. Most ingredients they have to change to ounces as that is how packaging is listed at the store. Finally, we
In this lab students will use household items to recreate the digestive system. Parts included are the mouth, stomach, and intestines.

Students have to sort equations and word problems into 3 categories: Exponential Growth, Exponential Decay, or Compound Interest. This can be a station or math center activity or a take home worksheet.
This product contains instructions, student worksheets, and answer keys for 4 - 5 science/math stations.
Teacher Instructions:
When completing stations in the classroom, be sure to set expectations clearly before beginning. These stations are to be completed AFTER students have been introduced to speed and velocity formulas. When I have my students complete these stations, I have an extra opening or two at each station so that students can travel to another station after completion. Timed rota
In this lab, students can explore the affect of concentration on a reaction rate. Students observe the reaction between vinegar and baking soda when vinegar is a 100% solution, 50% solution and 25% solution. The lab can be edited to accommodate higher or lower grade levels and the amount of observations needed.
Included: student lab instructions, partial answer key, teacher notes on implementation and prior knowledge
These 6 science stations help to introduce or review balanced and unbalanced forces and Newton's First Law of Motion. Students experience different modes of learning including reading, watching a video, and hands on with inertia. All stations are editable in Microsoft Word to better accommodate your class and students.

In this lab, students will change the height of a ramp to affect the speed of a marble. Students observe that the higher the ramp, the faster the speed of the marble. Students may use this lab to review how to find speed, creating a line graph, and the scientific method. The lab ends with writing a concluding paragraph. A partial answer key is included.
In this quarterly project, students are instructed to find a science article from a newspaper or magazine and write a summary about it to create a visual poster or display. I do not allow my students to use an article found online because many students have a difficult time finding a reliable source. Instead, I allow them to photocopy articles from magazines found at the library. Students are exposed to new branches of science and keep up to date with what is going on in the science field. Also
Contains student instructions to complete a book report poster project on a nonfiction book about science. Has a rubric for teacher grading. Saved as a doc file.

Teaching style
I will try just about any method to keep my students engaged and excited to learn. If they leave my classroom with more awareness of the world around them and the ability to think for themselves, I have been successful.
Awards & shining teacher moments
