A week of warm-ups focused on identifying variables within a research question and forming a testable hypothesis for the investigation. These warm-ups can be used during a scientific method unit or at the beginning of the year as review. This can be used as a formative assessment or participation grade for the week. Included as the preview is the journal data sheet for students to record their answers.

This jeopardy game reviews the following topics: minerals, rocks, rock cycle, and related key terms. A study guide has been included as the preview that corresponds with the game. Each question slide of the game contain a number that aligns with the same question number on the study guide. Therefore, at the end of the game, each student will have completed their own study guide.

This written assessment contains keywords matching, multiple choice, labeling, short answers, and an extra credit question. The topics addressed are cell structures and functions, requirements of life, prefix knowledge, and scientific inquiry. Included in this packet is a quiz, a modified version of the quiz, and an answer key. The modified version uses chunking and elimination of an answer option.

This science assessment can be used to in the beginning of the year to assess previous knowledge and then again at the end of the year to show growth in the 6th grade curriculum. The assessment contains multiple choice and short answer questions in the areas of scientific inquiry, earth science, life science, and physical science. The questions are aligned with Ohio New Learning Standards for the sixth grade and the scoring guide is included.

This jeopardy game reviews the following topics: plant vs. animal cells, body systems, life requirements, and related key terms. A study guide is included as the preview that corresponds with the review. Each question slide on the game has a number that corresponds with the number of the same question on the study guide. Therefore, at the end of the game, each student has completed their own study guide.

This jeopardy game reviews the following topics: energy resources, fossil fuels, alternative energy, and related key terms. A study guide has been included as the preview that corresponds with the game. Each question slide of the game contain a number that aligns with the same question number on the study guide.

A study guide has been included as the preview that corresponds with the game. Each question slide of the game contain a number that aligns with the same question number on the study guide. Therefore, at the end of the game, each student will have completed their own study guide.

This presentation includes two weeks worth of daily warm-ups or exit slips that address basic scientific inquiry concepts. The presentation could also used at the beginning of the year to review basic science concepts. The topics include lab equipment and safety, observation vs. inference, identifying testable research questions, and identifying variables. Each question slide is followed by the answers for that slide.

This jeopardy game reviews the following topics: states of matter, changes of state, atoms, periodic table, and related key terms. A study guide has been included as the preview that corresponds with the game. Each question slide of the game contain a number that aligns with the same question number on the study guide. Therefore, at the end of the game, each student will have completed their own study guide.

Given a specific scenario students must design a scientific investigation that follows the scientifc method. Students must write a testable research question, identify variables, form a hypothesis, create a materials list, write a procedure, create a data collection chart, and identify any safety procedures/equipment that must be used during their investigation. A rubric has been included to grade the investigation according to the skills listed above.

This assessment can be used in the beginning of the year to assess previous knowledge and/or at the end of the year to measure growth towards learning targets. The assessment contains 25 multiple choice and 5 short answer questions aligned with the sixth grade Ohio New Learning Standards in science. The questions assess curriculum topics in each of these areas: scientific inquiry, earth science, life science, and physical science.

A rubric to assess the design of a scientific investigation or laboratory. The categories being assessed include research question, variables, hypothesis, materials list, procedure, data collection chart, and safety equipment/procedures. At the end of the rubric, an area is designated for comments in the areas of strengths and weaknesses.

A hands-on measurement lab where random objects are chosen to measure mass using pan balances or triple beam balances and a digital scale. Students will take the first measurement on a balance and then the second on the digital scale. They will then find the difference between the two measurements. The end of the lab questions discuss why there may be a difference between the two measurements. Extension acitivity: choose 5 objects and graph the results.

This project focuses on the creation of a 3-D atomic model of an assigned element from the periodic table. The element assigned allows teacher differentiation for students' of varying academic levels. This project assess student knowledge of the atomic mass, atomic number, electron shells, valence electrons, and calculating the appropriate number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The project also give students an opportunity for extra credit by getting a parent signature (used to increase hom

This jeopardy game reviews topics such as plant and animal cells, heredity, reproduction, and related key terms.

This notebook activity includes a warm-up activity and two image match-up activities that compare cell organelle functions to people or places within a school.

This back-to-school informational packet includes an introduction letter, classroom discipline plan, and a homework policy which can all be customized to your specific classroom needs or expectations.
