I have mixed and matched a number of different roller coaster projects that is a comprehensive long term project. The students will have to do calculations including acceleration, potential energy, kinetic energy, and velocity. Students will also need to find maximum and minimum height. They create a brochure to sell their product and also perform a cost analysis. This project also includes trials on their roller coaster and although I am using cardstock for the student to make their coasters

If your students are like mine, they struggle with lab reports. So I created a basic one with directions for each section. My plan is on the first day of school to do a basic lab with my class and they will manually fill out their first lab report. After that, I will have the template one out on the server that they can use to type in their information, add data tables, and graphs. They can use the original lab report as their guide. Since labs are tedious to grade, having a group number on

This could be used as an intro to Population Ecology and exponential growth. I adapted some material I found online to fit my classroom. By stimulating the students with $$ we can peak their curiosity of how populations can show exponential growth. Includes data table and graph.

This lab allows the student to see how well a crystal can form under various conditions such as temperature, saturation and stirring. Written for an easy class, but can be modified to make it more difficult for upper grade levels. Gets the students thinking about the scientific method and looking for evidence to support their answers.

This lab allows students to see the difference between open and closed systems. It also allows the students to design their own lab.

If you are like me, you love the new Dimensions Book from HMH, but struggle in how to put it into work. I have developed some interactive notebook pages that align with the textbook. Answers will be in the teacher edition of the book. This is a work in progress, and suggestions are very welcome!

If you are like me, you love the new Biology Dimensions program...but struggle with setting up how to use this new product. I am experimenting with creating their evidence notebook. I recently took the information in the online program and created pages for Lesson 3 (Of Unit 1) . I may continue to tweak the page as I see how useful it is. Any suggestions are readily welcome.

If you are like me, you love the Dimensions textbook, but struggle with organizing their notebooks or lessons. I am developing notebook pages that can either be printed off and made into an interactive notebook. Suggestions welcome! It is a work in progress, and may make changes as I use them.

This shows the different spheres of Earth: Geosphere, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere and Biosphere, which leaves room to write the characteristics of each level of Earth. The second page is attached to the top, and folds over, and the arrows indicate that all the spheres are interactive to one another. The extra spaces allow a student to fill in what each 2 spheres may have in common.
