Want to introduce the topic of cells in a complete and comprehensive manner? This Bundle gives you everything you need--PowerPoints, projects, games, note worksheets, and bell ringers. Dive into the topic of cells with all the tools you need to bring the subject of cells to life.

Everything you need to start the year right, introducing and practicing skills in science that every student will capitalize upon for the rest of the year. Included in this bundle: 1. Introduction to Scientific Principles PowerPoint 2. Microscope WS 3. Bell Ringers 4. Elephant Toothpaste Lab Report 5. Basics of Graphing WS

Want to demonstrate hands on the process of osmosis and diffusion while also reviewing independent variables, dependent variables, control variables, graphing, analysis, and hypothesis? This lab which extends over multiple days demonstrates the cellular processes while offering students a chance to reinforce their understanding of the scientific method.

This game has been heralded every year as one of the best, most understandable ways to teach Mitosis and Meiosis. Get your students up and moving around as they become the Cell Division process! All you need are bandannas (or anything that is of different colors) and you have yourself a game that will always be remembered.

Want to start your class off right? These articles are 5-10 minute science literacy focused pages that help to reinforce your teaching efforts while engaging the mind of the student in a relevant manner. Useful for introducing topics to be discussed, or for a review of previously taught material.

Ready to take STEM to a whole new level? STEM: Empires takes students on a journey through history, as groups learn about different Empires found throughout human history. This nine week unit covers religion, culture, food, empyreal innovations, siege weapons, and numerous STEM focused building projects from creating a menu that reflects the dietary customs of each empire, to the dynamics of trade, ending in a cumulative cultural celebration day. Included in the rubric are suggestions for STEM

Looking for a complete Cell Cycle Unit covering Mitosis, Meiosis, Protein Synthesis, and the basics of genetic information? Look no further! This bundle has games, bell ringers, worksheets, and everything you need to teach the cell cycle.

Introduce your class to the layers of the atmosphere through this Bell Ringer, which describes the science behind the structure of the atmosphere while strengthening science content area literacy. Meant to given at the beginning of class, the Bell Ringer should only take a student 5-10 minutes to complete.

Want a fun way to assess the student's understanding of mutations? This worksheet not only probes their understanding of types of mutations (insertion, deletion, or substitution) but also allows them to have fun by incorporating the X-Men franchise. This assignment is also a good WS to prepare them for the X-Men Mutations Game!

Organic Chemistry always comes at the end of the first semester for us, which means it is difficult to make the students have a test when they face the midterm just a week later. This project serves as a fun and engaging way to test them on the material without burning out the students. Combined with the bell ringers, worksheets, and PowerPoint, this assignment can take up to two weeks of material and conversations.

A comprehensive lab report that helps students see and understand the dynamics of an experiment while reviewing scientific principles such as independent vs dependent variables, hypothesis, control variables, analysis, graphing, and drawing conclusions.

A visual diagram that students can use to record notes on the Meiosis process. Helps to connect the notes to the visual!

Want a fun way to teach the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes? This assignment challenges students to create a "Fight Night" poster between two organisms--a prokaryote and a eukaryote. Given time to do research, this assignment allows students to flex their artistic skills while learning about the differences between the two types of organisms.

Looking for a great project on the cell, but don't want to copy and paste the same edible cell project from the past? This project sets itself apart because it allows each student to focus on a single organelle. This specialization allows the student to become proficient teachers of their organelle instead of becoming overwhelmed with the information pertaining to the whole cell. Edible or physical models also make for a better understanding and visual for students who need to understand how the

A great review tool to help establish the basics of using a microscope.

Looking for an article that will introduce the topic of air pollution? This Bell Ringer is specifically designed to introduce students to the importance of healthy air and the effect air pollution has on the human body. With enough information to engage a student for 5-10 minutes, this Air Pollution Bell Ringer is a great way to scaffold your learning process

An engaging experiment to help solidify what has been learned pertaining to the process of heat circulation in the atmosphere.

Need engaging material to start your class off on the right foot? These Bell Ringers dive into the topic of cells, cell structure, and cell organelles in a manner that provides review or scaffolding.

In 2016, The Royal Science Society posited the idea that the modern evolutionary theory wasn't substantial enough to explain the complexity of nature. Thus, this begs the question as to what other theory might be credible based upon scientific data and evidence. This debate opens up the conversation between Evolutionary Theory vs Intelligent Design Theory. Typically spread out between three weeks, the paper is 50% of the grade and the other 50% is the students' individual involvement in the deba

A brief assessment on creating a hypothesis based upon relevant experiments. The worksheet also covers independent and dependent variables.
