Students practice labeling different animals using their newly learned vocabulary (must understand producer and consumer definitions). They write in the box whether each animal would be labeled as an herbivore, omnivore, carnivore or decomposer. Great activity for independent or guided practice in a Unit that discusses organism feeding types.

This is a great activity to break down the steps of the scientific method. Students start out by making observations about their hands and then form a hypothesis to "test" which one is dominant by having them see how many boxes they can check in a thirty second time period. They record their data and graph it in order to justify that their left or right hand is dominant (since it should be the hand that checks more boxes). A very easy way to demonstrate the steps of the scientific method as well

These are 10 Do Now - or Warm Up Activities- For an Earth science class. This is for students who are just entering the classroom to have about 5 minutes to complete in order to refresh their memory of a newly learned topic. Do NOW activities cover topics such as a geosphere review, hydrosphere, global warming, 3 ways to transfer energy in the atmosphere. These can be used as a transparancy in front of the class or individual worksheets for the students. Can be modified for older or younger stud

Heres a 2-page worksheet on Number lines that I use for math practice. Students define number line, fill in brief guided notes, then plot points on the number line. Finally, after they are all done, they order the numbers from least to greatest.

This is a great guided notes document to talk about the interior of the earth. It makes for a great transparency so as you are talking about the geosphere students can take quick, simple notes. A good graphic organizer to help students have a visual of the actual layers on the inside of the earth. Comes with an easy to read answer key. Great for any earth science class.

Color by Algebra is here! Used numerous times in my classroom and has always been a huge hit. First page is answering questions about polynomials (finding the degree, adding and subtracting). Once you get the answer, it tells you where to color! Answer key included. Great for reinforcement or for a substitute. Could be done in a group or alone.

Color by Algebra is here! A huge hit in all my classrooms grades 7-10th. Find the greatest common factor (GCF) in each box and match the answer on the fish drawing. Color it in according to the color box it was found in. Great for reinforcement, sub days and extra credit.
