Atoms are made of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons in the nucleus and negatively charged electrons that orbit the nucleus in electron shells. We can use the Periodic Table of Elements (ptable.com) to figure out how many of each subatomic molecule is located! The atomic # is the number of positive protons in the nucleus. That number is also usually equal to the number of negatively charged electrons that orbit the nucleus, faster than the speed of light! The number of electrons ca

This is a paper modified version of a Google Slide research project. Please see other listing as well. This version is specifically intended for students who may not be able or allowed to use technology due to various reasons. More information, such as NGSS standards are included on the original project. The original Google Slide template is available for an additional fee and is called "Food Web & Carbon Cycle Integrated Research Project (Google Slide Project)." I revamped the entire project

Students demonstrate that they understand how energy and carbon flows through an ecosystem. They understand what energy storage molecules, like glucose, are and model them. They research their favorite organism and complete a food web research activity, cite sources, and complete a presentation. This project will take your students about a week to complete. Students can present in front of the class or dictate speaker notes for each slide by clicking "Ctrl+Shift+S." This is an excellent accommod

Keep track of when your students leave and return from the classroom. Print off several copies and place on a clip board near your door or by your desk. Students sign out/in when they leave the room for restroom breaks, etc.

Never lose classroom materials again! Open the file, click on "home" and then click the "replace" button. The pop up will say "Find What" and you will put in "ROOM#" and where it says "Replace with" type in your actual room number. Finally, click "Replace All" and save the file. Print the document. Cut out these labels and tape them (horizontally on pencils works best for surface contact) to items that seem to wander off from your classroom. Ever since I started doing this, I get so many materia

If you recognize the image in the thumbnail, you know what curriculum this task complements. The questions are related to metabolism. How do certain types of molecules get into individual cells? If this has been introduced to your students, through whatever curriculum you use, this task will be a fun one to share with your classes. The possible answers are numbered and as student type in the number that correlates with the correct response, an image appears to the right side. That image represen
