Along with my other sections of this large project, here is the materials for the Owl Pellet Dissection Lab. It includes researching the great horned owl through readings, videos, articles, data collection, analysis and then applying all they have learned by creating a food web. Not only will the students be dissecting the owl pellets but they will collect data, make a graph, and then analyze the meaning of their findings. This is also a great activity and review for Life Science MCAS Practic

This product contains a complete review of expansion and contraction while reviewing matter, states of matter, etc. It contains lessons, vocabulary, labs you can gather the materials for and easily do but also videos if you would prefer to just show it to the students. This product also includes MCAS Practice State Standardized testing questions from previous years that students will be expected to know that they will learn in this review. Answer Key is included. Can be done on chromebooks o

Students will review Ecological Relationships and Symbiosis first. Then they will research the Great Horned Owl's Ecological Relationships and symbiosis using grade level readings, Scholastic Jams Videos, Documentary videos, and the National Geographic Kids Encyclopedia. They will identify prey, predators, competition, symbiosis, mutualism, commensalism, and predation. Students will also explore biomes using an online simulation and creating a graphic map of the GHO's Territory, a graphic wit

This document is a complete lesson on Pangea and Continental Drift. It leads students through how the theory was realized complete with evidence and reasoning. The activities are interactive and fun. This lesson would be perfect to leave with a substitute teacher or to just do when you want something that can be mostly student led. The activities can be done on a chromebook or printed out to complete on paper. The lesson is learned through science videos and notes as well as hands on acti

The students will research the great horned owl through readings, the National Geographic Kids Resource, Documentary Videos to find 4 specialized structures and adaptations that allow the great horned owl to survive and thrive in it's environment. They will annotate the readings/resources, copy and paste their findings into question slides, and then use all of this research to create a digital google animal diagram. This is all part of a larger ANIMAL RESEARCH project. I am creating this reso

These Documents include all of the Forces and Motion (Physics) MCAS practice questions for Grade 8 MCAS so this would be great practice to include while you are reviewing for standardized tests or to use as a Do Now or quick Formative Assessment as you are completing a Forces and Motion Unit. Currently, I use it as a Do Now and a Quick Formative Assessment as I use the SEPUP LabAids Forces and Motion science curriculum in Grade 8. I will continue to add to this folder and raise the price so bu

This walks students through the process of classifying the complete taxonomy of The Great Horned Owl. Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. Slides teach students the criteria of each level. Intro to Zoology and application of taxonomy knowledge. Students will walk through the steps and complete a taxonomy table of The Great Horned Owl. This is part of a complete animal research project. See what I already have posted and stay tuned for the rest.

I have compiled all of the TECTONIC PLATES MCAS practice questions from previous years in a document as well as provided exemplar responses to the questions. I use the process of elimination strategies. Massachusetts Standardized Tests are probably the most complete and all inclusive so if your students do well with these questions you can be sure they are all set. I also have lessons to support the learning of all of these different concepts and standards. Please check out my shop and come

Research the Great Horned Owl using Readings, National Geographic Kids, and Animal Documentary Videos. Take notes. Annotate. Answer Questions. Create a Digital Food web on Google Slides.

This is a lesson great for a self contained sub plan (with headsets and chromebooks), or a great review lesson before standardized testing (specifically 8th grade Science). Either way it is a full and complete lesson with no plans needed. Students will have a chance to experience lecture (video), note taking, reasoning, finding evidence, group work, research, online learning games, etc. Plate tectonics involves understanding of thermal energy, convection currents, layers of the Earth, Plate T
