Physics Hawk

Have your students practice using the periodic table to find the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a neutral atom of the most common isotope for various elements.

In this project, students have many choices. They may choose to work in a group or alone, choose their partners, choose any physics topic to explore as deeply as they wish, and choose how to present and demonstrate it. The document includes the instructions and the rubric.

This is a fun activity for students to learn about the qualities of elements on the periodic table. They must pretend they are running for Element of the Year and make a campaign speech that includes of the elements positive attributes and how it is used in the world.

After teaching a unit on the Apollo era, I want students to think about NASA's current role in the world. They are required to choose three spending priorities and write a properly cited 5 paragraph essay. This was written for use in a Christian school, but the document is editable for you to adapt it for your needs.

This song helps students remember a lot of the chemistry content from physical science. This includes a document with the lyrics and a video of me singing the song so the words and tune can be easily matched.

Have you ever noticed that students call every piece of glass in the lab a beaker? That's because movies and TV shows with school labs do it too. Yet, each piece of lab equipment was designed with a purpose. It's important for students to know the names of equipment and what their purpose is so they can use them for the right tasks. This game allows you to engage in retrieval practice about the names and purposes of basic lab equipment.

This is a multiple choice game on power point. Students could play alone or in teams, answer using whiteboards or ABC cards. It's up to you.

After teaching students about phases and phase changes, I used this game as retrieval practice. Students can call out it unison, write answers on their mini-whiteboards, or play in teams.
