Studying physical and chemical changes? In this station lab, the students observe various changes at eight stations. They must decide whether the change was physical or chemical and then provide evidence to support their claim. The Insta-Snow station is always a big hit! Individual stations can easily be changed to another physical or chemical change if necessary. This purchase includes a Warm-Up for the students, an Activity Packet for the station lab, Instructions for each station, two sets of

This PowerPoint is a guide in showing students how to measure to the nearest 1/8 of an inch and to the nearest centimeter. Students start by figuring out what the lines mean on a ruler using their knowledge of fractions. The "Enlarged Inch" graphic organizer goes along with the beginning of the PowerPoint. Next, examples of measuring to the nearest 1/8 of an inch and to the nearest centimeter are shown.

This interactive PowerPoint shows students how to add integers using red and yellow counters. Later in the PowerPoint, it also shows students how to draw positive signs and negative signs to add integers.

This purchase is a lab activity using microscopes. In the form of a crime scene investigation, students visit different stations and examine plant and animal cells under the microscope. They create detailed drawings of their observations and decide who they believe committed the crime. They also compare plant and animal cells using Venn diagrams. A PowerPoint introduces the crime and the task. Station Instructions are made for each station.

Studying physical and chemical properties and changes? This purchase includes a PowerPoint on physical properties and changes with exit slip, a PowerPoint on chemical properties and changes with warm-up and exit slip, a matching activity (answers to the matching activity are on the PowerPoint), guided notes for both PowerPoints, and a Jeopardy review game.

This 536-slide PowerPoint has 87 Bell Ringers (or Warm-Ups, Exit Slips, Quizzes or however you want to use them in your class!) Each bell ringer consists of 6 slides. The first slide has 5 questions on it for your students to answer. The following 5 slides give the answers and the steps to arrive at those answers (1 answer slide per question). The answer slides have animation, so you can go step-by-step with your class. Each sub-category below has one bell ringer (5 questions) dedicated to

This is an interactive PowerPoint on the water cycle. One slide features a simplified view of the water cycle. On this slide, the teacher (or students) can click on a vocabulary term (evaporation, condensation, wind, precipitation, run-off, or collection). When the vocabulary term is clicked, the viewer is taken to a new slide about that term. The user can click “BACK” to return to the diagram. The last slide features a simplified version of the water cycle using words only. This PowerPoint can

This purchase is the letters to spell out "Geology Rocks!" for a bulletin board. Each letter takes up about half of a page. To create the letters for the bulletin board, simply print the letters using a color printer, laminate the pages, and then cut the letters out.

Teaching the concept of ratios? This purchase introduces the students to ratios and equal ratios using dogs and cats. The students learn how to use ratio language to describe a relationship between two quantities. Guided notes explain the concept of a ratio. Practice problems and independent practice problems assess the students’ understanding of the concept. The matching activity asks the students to group equal ratios (shown with numbers and with pictures). The guided notes, worksheets,

This worksheet reviews cell vocabulary words and concepts. Students complete each sentence with a vocabulary word. Using a letter from the word, the students complete a secret message. The secret message is a joke about cells.

This PowerPoint shows students how to find the area and perimeter of rectangles, squares, and triangles. It has many examples for students to try. Students are encouraged to find the formulas for area of rectangles, squares, and triangles through guided questions. Students can fill out a graphic organizer with formulas. It also has an Exit Slip to assess understanding.

This worksheet is a good review of coordinate graphing, transformations (translations, reflections, and rotations), and lines of symmetry. There are 14 questions regarding coordinate graphing, 2 questions about translation using coordinate graphing, 2 questions about reflection using coordinate graphing, 4 questions asking if the change was rotation, reflection, or translation, and 3 questions about lines of symmetry. The PowerPoint is interactive. Using a moving red dot, the students can see h

This is a great hands-on activity. Students relate the organelles of a cell to the jobs in a candy factory. With a PowerPoint as a guide, the students role-play the various jobs in the cell. They also create a table that compares the cell to a factory.

This is a hands-on math activity applying the concepts of area and perimeter. Students design their own go-kart tracks and calculate the cost to build their designs.

This is a good review of perimeter and area. It includes 9 questions. The first question asks for the perimeter of a rectangle. The second question is a word problem requiring the student to recognize that it is a perimeter question, calculate the perimeter, and then convert inches into feet. The third and fourth questions ask the student to calculate the area of triangles and squares and compare the areas. The fifth question involves finding the area of a triangle on a grid. The sixth, se
