In this activity, students will compare the cell processes photosynthesis and respiration. They will cut and paste the correct description onto their Venn diagram. 6.L.1.2 One of the most general distinctions among organisms is between plants, which use sunlight to make their own food (photosynthesis) and animals, which consume energy-rich foods. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary processes. Plants carry on photosynthesis and cellular respiration where food is broken dow

Earth is like an apple... This activity is designed to help students comprehend and compare the layers of the earth. This activity is typically used as an introduction to the unit on the lithosphere. I usually perform a live demonstration of cutting the apple in half so the class can visualize the layers inside and compare this to the unseen layers of the earth. The students then work with the table partners to complete the written analogy. 6.E.2 Understand the structure of the earth and

7.E.1 — Understand how the cycling of matter (water and gases) in and out of the atmosphere relates to Earth’s atmosphere, weather and climate and the effects of the atmosphere on humans. 7.E.1.1 — Compare the composition, properties and structure of Earth’s atmosphere to include mixtures of gases and differences in temperature and pressure within layers.Earth Systems, Structures and Processes Properties of the Atmosphere  Interactive Notebook ActivityIn this activity students will create a mode

Students will create a flower using a variety of materials. The materials should represent different parts of the flower. They will need to be creative and use different materials to represent the different parts of the flower. Students must create and label the following parts of a flowering plant. I use this a test grade so I've included a rubric. Roots, stem, leaves, sepals, petals, pistil, ovary, stigma, style, ovules, stamen, filament, anther and pollen.

Earth Systems, Structures and Processes Class DemonstrationIn this activity students will observe a model of the earth’s atmosphere.  Students will then discuss their observations and collaborate on a class definition of the composition of air. Prior to class fill a glass jar with the following materials:78 red beans, 21 white beans, 1 black bean then show students the jar.   Students should make observations using the student answer sheet and then answer the questions that follow.
