Science Spree

Students get to design their own floor plan for their dream home using scaling calculations. Includes a rubric for grading that you can write in your own grading scale. Also, you may choose to give your students very large paper for their rough and final drafts which works well, too. Students love adding in anything that they wish they could have in their dream home (swimming pool motes, football fields, game rooms, basketball rooms, etc.) *I have now made this editable with a Word Doc and PDFI

This editable (PDF and Word Doc) paper airplane activity has been a hit in my middle school math classes. Students create paper airplanes to chart data for distances thrown each time, modify the plane, and then graph their findings on a double bar graph for the final results. I found that it worked best to take my class outside to do this activity. I also put them in pairs. They love to take their time, but I always found that we ran out of time in our 45 min periods, so maybe use a timer to ke

Students can brainstorm and design their own experiment. This is great for the beginning of the school year, science fair ideas, and learning about variables. It also shows them that anyone can come up with testable experiments! Includes easy example for teacher to explain to students...or come up with your own :) Please leave me some feedback and reviews! They are greatly appreciated as I continue uploading my products!

Students can organize their notes on the characteristics of the element families within the periodic table. Please leave me some feedback and reviews! They are greatly appreciated as I continue uploading my products!
