Teaching Science in 9th

Are you looking for a way to give students a lab experience while they are online? This interactive digital activity uses a Google Site to allow students to analyze a variety of bright line spectrums.

Introduce your students to isotopes and then give them a direct application to radiation, radioactivity and radioactive decay. This engaging Google Slides activity has video, drop and drag and lab interactives.

Would you like to teach your students how to read Safety Data Sheets (SDS)? This interactive digital activity introduces students to SDS sheets and then uses the Flinn Website to allow them to do a deep dive into the SDS of a chemical of their choice.

Are you looking for a digital way to teach orbital notation and electron configurations? I used the age-old illustration of the Hog Hilton to develop this digital interactive activity.

Are you introducing the electromagnetic spectrum? This digital activity will help students start exploring the relationship between wavelength and frequency using video, simulations and interactive activities.

Are you looking for a digital alternative to a measurement lab? This activity has drop and drag activities to review metric measurement and tools, as well as, reviewing how to read metric measurement to the correct number of significant digits. Teacher key is linked.

Here is a digital version of a free worksheet that asks students to identify the claim, evidence and reasoning. Students are able to annotate on this digital worksheet to circle the claim, underline the evidence and bracket the reasoning.

Here is a case study that I adapted from the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science. I have not had time yet to create a key, but this activity has students analyze fake medical charts and news stories to calculate the wrong dosage of medicine administered to a patient. This digital activity also includes a differentiated option for advanced and intermediate.

Are you looking for a way to tie the history of 9/11 to science? Try this interactive slideshow that I created to compare science vs. conspiracy. Students will examine how materials were pushed to failure due to temperature and stress in this interactive digital activity. They will then draw inferences to combat conspiracy theories that exist surrounding the events of that day.

Teach lab safety using this interactive Bitmoji classroom! When students click on the QUIZ, they will be redirected to Google Forms where they will take a quick formative assessment. They will be able to see their answers and their score will be emailed to them with a certificate.

Are you looking for a way to still have student build representations of a molecule, but either can't share materials or you are teaching online? This Google Slides activity will allow students to still complete the lab by building digital models.

Have your students solve a "fireworks mystery" and correctly label the containers.

Are you looking for a digital interactivity to teach metals and nonmetals? This activity includes a digital sort, fill-in the box with color and a link to a Quizizz to test their knowledge at the end!

If you are teaching metals or materials science, these digital notes include teacher notes, demos and a lab that allows students to look at the allotropes of sulfur. The lab includes a pre-lab activity that requires students to read the SDS sheets for sulfur.

Are you looking for an interactive way to teach states of matter?? Here is a digital Google Slides that allows you and your students to explore different classrooms, labs and interactives. Feel free to edit the copy to make it work for you and your students! Encourage your students to use this in the "present mode." Great for distance learning!

This product includes digital. notes for density, a lab written to go with the cK-12 simulation "Going Fishing" and a sheet of density math problems.

Are you looking for interactive notebook pages, exit tickets and homework that are all connected? This introduction to chemical bonding packet will provide a strong foundation for students to understand why atoms lose or gain electrons.

Is plastic helpful or harmful? This interactive digital activity will introduce students to the benefits and harm of our use of plastic materials including disposable diapers. It will briefly introduce students to thermoplastics and thermosets.

This STEM lab can be done by any student at home with minimal supplies. This interactive digital activity ties in sports, STEM and a lot of fun!

This is a digital companion guide to the PhET online lab Build an Atom.
