In this project, students crosscut the subjects of Language Arts, Science, and Art as they write and illustrate their own story of how they discovered the center of the Earth. This can be completed as a research project or after a unit on inside Earth. I have completed it in my science class and even though there is only a 1 page minimum, 6th graders have wrote 3 to 4 pages filled with descriptions of what they see and do. While the facts about each layer must be true, I allow creativity to f

This quick 15 minute lab is a great way for students to see Boyle's law in action. Students need to know what Boyle's law is and how it works to complete this lab. Materials: 1 Balloon per student 1 Clear plastic cup per student

Description This activity contains 4 colored copies of percent fraction decimal cards to create a little fun in the math classroom. I have had students complete this in stations, or with partners as a whole class. There is some teacher prep-work, but after completed one time, the cards can be used year after year. Teacher Prep Work: Photocopy or print cards onto card stock and cut apart. If making more than one set, I like to make each set on different colored paper so a missing card can easily

In this lesson, the digestive system is introduced when students come up with actions to represent each organ of the digestive system and its job. The actions are then performed one at a time while the significance of each organ is recited. As students learn each new organ, the chant becomes longer. A worksheet is included for students to fill out as well as its answer key. Follow up with this way to model the digestive system! : https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Modeling-the-Digesti

This activity contains 4 puzzles of different shapes to create a little fun in a like terms lesson. I have had students complete this in stations, by themselves, and in groups. They have worked in all scenarios. There is some teacher prep-work, but after completed one time, they can be used year after year. Teacher Prep Work: Photocopy or print puzzles onto card stock and cut apart. To make the puzzles easier to put together, trace the outside edges with a thick marker. If making more than one

Use as a station activity or as an assignment. Equations are given in Standard Form. Cut the first page into thirds and give each student a strip with the 5 equations. Graph each equation by finding x and y intercepts or converting the standard form equation into point slope form. Graph the equations on one large graph to see the star shape. GRAPH PAPER NOT INCLUDED
