Students will be super anxious to see what pictures and videos are coming next and this will hook th

This is a student lab sheet for students to use while completing the rocks and minerals experiment. These students will observe the color, texture, luster, size, and visible characteristics of the rocks and minerals and then record the results in this chart. I just completed this experiment on November 10th, 2014 and the students absolutely loved it! Check out other products in the Made by an Elementary Guy STORE!

This handout was used to study the three different types of soil which include: Red Clay, Humus, and Sandy Soil. The students were able to feel the texture of the soil and visually observe it. The students colored in the circle to make it appear like the soil. The students wrote bullet points on the lines for each of the two parts. This was the second Fun Friday experiment I did. Check out the Rocks and Minerals Experiment handout on my page as well in MrPenberthy

Everything is 100% kid appropriate and nothing is aligned to steer student's to one political party or candidate. By

Slides include crazy font, silly cat pictures that have nothing to do with the slides, and more! The powerpoint ends with an example of good slide. Use this to get your stu

This student work template allows students to organize their work, find the least common denominator in the T chart, show the multiplication of the numerator and denominator by the same number, and then add and check if the answer needs to be simplified.
