This worksheet explains how to measure an object in inches with a ruler that does not start at zero and provides practice problems. This would be a great potential homework sheet following hands-on practice with objects and rulers that do not start on zero.

This worksheet explains how to measure an object with a centimeter ruler that does not start at zero and provides practice problems. This would be a great potential homework sheet following hands-on practice with objects and rulers that do not start on zero.

This worksheet features one page of illustrated instructions explaining how to measure mass with a triple beam balance. The next two pages are illustrated practice on calculating the mass of various objects. Teacher key is included. This would be a great assessment or homework following a lab using the triple beam balance.

This worksheet has basic practice reading volume with a graduated cylinder, reading a thermometer in degrees Celsius, and reading mass on a triple beam balance. This would be a great review or homework assignment following a measurement lab.

This activity can be done individually or in pairs. The students will use the dichotomous key to identify each organelle, as described on the card, and record it in the answer box. This activity is originally designed to review 7th grade Science TEKS 7.12D and 7.11A for an 8th grade STAAR review but will work for any teacher that has to teach cell organelles and/or dichotomous keys. The organelles and structures featured in this dichotomous key are nucleus, cytoplasm, chloroplast, cell wall,

This is basic practice on adding up the riders shown on a triple beam balance for calculating the mass of an object. This would be great as extended practice or homework following a lab using a triple beam balance. Freebie!!

This is a webquest over several of the Category 3 Earth Science topics found on the 8th grade Science STAAR. This does NOT cover every TEK in Category 3. The topics included are: Day & Night (8.7A Readiness Standard) Seasons (8.7A Readiness Standard) Lunar Cycle (8.7B Readiness Standard) Components of the Universe (8.8A Readiness Standard) Tectonic Plates (8.9B Readiness Standard) Topographic Maps & Satellite Imagery (8.9C Readiness Standard) Tides (8.7C Supporting Standard) The webquest h

This worksheet teaches how to read the volume of liquid in a graduated cylinder with a meniscus. Extended practice is then given. This would be a perfect compliment to a hands-on practical lab with liquid in graduated cylinders or it could be given as homework.

Here is a practice worksheet for measuring volume of solids by displacement in a graduated cylinder. Included are instructions on how to calculate the volume. The graduated cylinders shown do have menisci. This would be great for a homework assignment after a hands-on laboratory practice.

This worksheet has 4 pages of practice problems measuring length in centimeters (to the tenth of a centimeter).

This is a webquest over several of the Category 2 Science topics found on the 8th grade Science STAAR. This does NOT cover every TEK in Category 2. The topics included are: Unbalanced Forces (8.6A Readiness) Newton's Laws (8.6C Readiness) Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration (8.6B Supporting) Calculating Average Speed (6.8C Supporting) The webquest has both QR codes and short URLs for each link.

This is a cut up featuring 20 common laboratory tools. There are two formats included in this download, 2 full pages and 4 journaling half-pages. The students will cut out the equipment names and descriptions and glue or tape them on to the master sheet. The tools included in the download are triple beam balance, graduated cylinder, test tube rack, safety goggles, Bunsen burner, microscope, hot plate, beaker, gloves, thermometer, test tube holder, test tube, Petri dish, funnel, timer/stopwatc

I can not begin to tell you how much I love using this model in my class. It demonstrates weathering, erosion, and deposition (without the use of stations, water, or sand!) at a minimal cost. It is a hands-on model that takes very little class time and just a small amount of teacher monitoring. The model runs for 3-5 days using just a few minutes of class time at the beginning of each day. After the model has run, the students write a paragraph explaining the model. Included in this produc

This is a 4 page worksheet measuring length of various objects in inches, rounding to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. Each question has a griddable for the students to fill in.

Here is a set of 36 I have, Who Has? cards featuring science lab and measurement tools. This is a powerpoint file so it is completely editable.

This is a blank vocabulary foldable with room for eight words. There is a designated place for the vocabulary word, a definition, and a picture. This could be used for any subject!! Photocopy it 2 sided to create the foldable. Freebie!!

Here is a very simple sort of the human body. The systems are included are the skeletal, muscular, integumentary, endocrine, respiratory, circulatory, nervous, digestive, and excretory. The sort includes the parts and functions.

This is a great vocabulary reinforcement game which requires very little prep and 2 flyswatters. The vocabulary words included in this game are: ecosystem, scavengers, herbivore, omnivore, food chain, photosynthesis, decomposer, predator, prey, carnivore, consumer and producer. Your kids will have a lot of fun with this game! Get them up and moving and reviewing vocabulary at the same time.

Included are 6 different life cycle sequencing cards. Each life cycle contains 4 pieces in the sequence. Pictures are black-line for easy coloring. Also included are arrows, sequencing numbers, and titles for each life cycle. The 7 life cycles are butterfly, ladybug, frog, rooster, flowering plant & mealworm. These would be a great addition to science journals!
