Teaching circumference and diameter conversions? Teaching graphing or data literacy? Here is dataset of 50 trees you can use to explore! Excel file includes #, diameter of tree, and whether it is a deciduous or coniferous. It's an easy way to use real science data in the classroom. Goes great with Tree Measuring Lab.
This bundle brings together the Matter and Atoms PowerPoint, Chemistry Task Cards, and Atoms and Molecules Quiz. Great for teaching middle school and reviewing with high school students!
How do we know when and how the dinosaurs died out? This presentation covers information that is beyond what you can find online. I was fortunate to speak with experts in the field who filled in questions I've had about the event(s) and evidence. Now you too can have this information! Presented in uncluttered, yet thorough slides with pictures included. Content includes:
-What is the K-Pg boundary (formerly known as the K-T boundary)?
-What is a mass extinction?
-Explains the 5th extinction.

This presentation thoroughly breaks down the basics from atoms to chemical formulas. It covers:
•Everything is either matter or energy
•Transformation between matter and energy
•What is matter
•What are atoms
•Protons, neutrons, electrons
•Charges
•Weaknesses of atomic models
•Atomic mass
•What is an element
•Atomic numbers
•Periodic Table of Elements
•Atomic symbols
•Molecule
•Compound
•Chemical formulas
Goes great with Chemistry Task Cards and Atoms and Molecules Quiz. **Available with Atom
This lab is fantastic for connecting density-in-theory to real life! This winner is great for general science, layers of the earth, oceanography, marine biology, or chemistry. My students are always so proud of themselves for figuring it out! The student sheet includes a section on evaluating the model (vital to the Next Gen. Science Standards!) Fits very well in a science journal/interactive students notebook (ISN). The teacher instructions gives detailed material list, instruction, and hints f
This lab uses Fun Size Milky Way candy bars to model the top layers of the Earth. Students identify and draw their interpretation of the model. Also includes a section on evaluating the model (vital to the Next Gen. Science Standards!) Fits very well in a science journal/interactive students notebook (ISN).
Four different experiments where students explore questions they can ask about different M&MⓇs. Includes a pre-lab homework assignment. Can be used to provide variety amongst lab groups or as a station lab.
