Your students will have a great time learning about the “break-up” between the British and the Colonies by finding (clean) modern break-up songs to compare to the the colonists’ compla
This resource aligns with NGSS Matter and Its Interactions MS-PS1-1, Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures. This project is great for all learners, as you can assign simpler molecules to students who may struggle in your classes, and more complex molecules to your students who are looking for, or may need a challenge. Included are:-Instructions for the project -A sign-up sheet for possible molecules to make -A student guide/info sheet -A
Have your class make a molecule mobile to align with NGSS Matter and Its Interactions MS-PS1-1, Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures. In addition, this resource could also be used to cover standard MS‑PS2, Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions to model equal forces, torque, center of mass, or stable equilibrium and/or MS‑PS3, Energy, to model potential/kinetic energy. In addition, it reaches across curriculums to include engineeri
