Suitable for a 35-45 minute class time, sub day, or an introductory or review lesson about this topic. I created these video notes to be easier for students and the teacher to use than Cornell Notes or Fill-in-the-Blank notes, which can be stressful to complete during a fast-paced video. Can be printed double sided (notes on one side, puzzle on the other). This size is perfect for taping into a science composition notebook.

These are printable video notes that follow the 8 minute long video by Ameba Sister’s, called Characteristics of Life found for free on YouTube. There is also a word search of relevant words/phrases on the back, with a self assessment built in. Best used to introduce characteristics of living things, or as a review at the end of the "What is Life" unit. Also good to help teach levels of organization.

Topics: Middle school science, climate change topics: causes, effects, evidence, and solutions (greenhouse gases, ice cores, sea levels, polar ice caps, ocean acidification, etc.) Overview: These are maze worksheets that work well as reviews (partner work) for returns from breaks, short days, or early finisher work (individual). Created for 6th grade, but can be modified for any level. Includes student-facing slides for instructions and teacher-facing slides for planning.

Topics: Middle school science: Parts of an investigation, science lab tools, general science terms, how to find the mean (average) of data. Overview: These are maze worksheets that work well as reviews (partner work) for returns from breaks, short days, or early finisher work (individual). Created for 6th grade, but can be modified for any level! Each maze increases in rigor. Students will need paper copies and one highlighter or color pencil. Teacher will need to show a slide, but this is not c
