Learning about the various systems of the human body? This group project is perfect for jigsaw learning, or for an end of unit collaborative project! Students are assigned one of the following body systems: Circulatory, Respiratory, Muscular/Skeletal, Nervous, or Digestive. Together, they research information on their system's purpose, major organs, and overall function for the body. On a life size poster, they will show a visual of their system that highlights the required information. When I

In this creative end of unit activity, students take their knowledge of Inner and Outer planets to the next level! Students will work together to make a class Solar System of their own creations. Students will each select either an inner or outer planet to make. Using the unique characteristics of their selection, they will design their own planet. They will consider whether or not their planet should have moons, rings, volcanoes and more. It is a great way for them to showcase what they've lear

In this project, students will create a Human Body Systems T-Shirt that shows their understanding of the major organs in the human body and their functions. This at home project will have students decorate a T-shirt by drawing and labeling specific organs that are located in the torso (T-shirt) region of the body. Along with their visual design, they will complete a written component explaining the role and importance of each organ. This project will help your students connect what they've learn

Teach your students the ABCD format for science drawings/diagrams (Accurate, Big, Colorful, Detailed). In this activity students are tasked with making a diagram of a room of their choice. Activity comes with instructions, clear explanation of each component of ABCD and a work space for their drawing. Activity comes with a rubric for grading.

User friendly rubric to reinforce ABCD science drawings. It follows the Accurate Big Colorful and Detailed requirements for science diagrams and drawings. It is general in nature so it can be used for various activities or projects. Please see my other resource that includes a "Draw a room" diagram activity. I used this with students to practice using the ABCD method.

In this interactive project, students embrace their best Denis Phillips, beloved Tampa Bay meteorologist. Through this project, students put their knowledge of interpreting weather data and tools to the test. Students select a location and date and find data on the main parts of weather: precipitation, barometric pressure, temperature, wind speed/direction, and humidity. From their findings, they develop a weather report that gives a forecast for the day. The project includes having students ana
