In this biology assignment students will watch a short video about anatomy, ecology, microbiology, genetics, and zoology. Students will answer some questions on their biology worksheet that correspond to each video. Super easy and super engaging and fu

Chemistry is always an intimidating word for students. The goal of this assignment is to help students realize chemistry is all around them and hopefully they are more comfortable with it than they knew. In this assignment, students will watch a video clips on the chemistry of fireworks, cookies, soap, cut grass, and social media. They will have to answer questions about each clip. Students will then be asked to think of something in their lives and research the basic chemistry of it.

Being able to create a graph, read a graph and understand a graph is a crucial skill students need to have to be successful in science class. In this assignment, students will go over the three types of graphs, will have to create ordered pairs from a data table, interpret a graph, and make multiple graphs from data tables. Help students be successful by giving them a solid foundation in graphing!

Get ready to supercharge your metric conversions lessons and activities with these easy to use worksheets.
