Thank you for considering this product! The 3D Alien Project is one of my favorites because it gives the kids options and a chance to be creative and incorporate a bit of science fiction as they learn more about Solar System and space phenomena. Students sign-up for and research their planet (or planetary moon), design and build an alien with adaptations that help it survive on the planet, they write (or type) a 1 page essay about their findings, and present their 3D alien and their findings to

Take your students on a walking field trip for the class period. On their walk, students can practice using science inquiry by making observations, predictions and inferences on items they come across. This product includes: - Teacher Inside Information which includes review and instructions on managing and supporting students in class and during the walk. - A student worksheet for gathering inquiry statements (Day 1 material) - Grading rubric for the grading the worksheet and assessing student

Socratic Seminars help students form a deeper understanding of science content by focusing on problems, impacts on society and nature, as well as problem-solving or finding solutions. After discussing the guidelines and rules for the seminar, students read an article of your choosing, annotating and highlighting crucial points and topics to discuss. Students find it reassuring to know that they are able to partner up in teams of three and be each other's point person during the discussion, and

Have students create a Cotton Ball Catapult to help understand the how kinetic, potential and mechanical energy play a role in the interactions between objects at a distance and when position changes (NGSS MS-PS3-2) This week long project is presented in a 5E format to build engagement in your classroom and help students review energy before diving into the project. You can also stretch this out to two weeks, if need be. This 3-Dimensional Project also incorporates NGSS Science and Engineering P

This product includes... - Guidelines for research and implementation of the project - 3 online resources for student research days - Brochure Instructions for Students - Time Era Research template (front and back side) - Tri-fold Brochure Template This product is a wonderful way for students to familiarize themselves with Earth's 4.6 billion year old History! Hope you enjoy this product. Sincerely, Monique @ TGLessons

The kids had so much fun with this water color research project! At the end of their Waves Unit, students had the opportunity to model wave reflection, transmission, and absorption through art and poetry. This project was also a nice change from our everyday routine and students appreciated the change up (I assigned this project during the grueling State Testing weeks). This product includes... - Teacher Inside Information w/ ideas on how to conduct research, gather materials, and topics to cove

This product is mainly geared for middle school students to help them develop a basic understanding of how and why cells divide and the differences between mitosis and meiosis. The Meiosis vs Mitosis Venn Diagram Fill-In is a scaffolded for all learning abilities and includes the following... - Fill-in Statements - Word Bank - Answer Key Thank you for considering my product!

Hope you enjoy this free and upgraded product! HOW TO CUT and FOLD (video tutorial)The 1-Cut Lab Safety Booklet allows for students to research and learn about lab safety by creating an 8-page (1-cut) booklet out of only ONE sheet of paper. Fold along the solid lines and cut only on the dotted lined area to produce your mini booklet. New and upgraded features include... ~ Three color review sheets; "Lab Safety Rules", "Why Lab Safety Rules?", and "Science Equipment". This will ensure that stu

This product is meant for K-12 science or STEM lab table groups and work to the instructor's advantage before activities begin for the day. The Science Roles template can be printed onto your favorite highlight paper, cut, laminated and/or framed for group table display! *These types of frames are no longer available in IKEA. However, any 4 x 6 inch frame would do. I suggest bulk acrylic purchases on Amazon. I've included both an editable and non-editable templates for 10 groups and printable

This product includes... Claim-Evidence-Reasoning as well as Scientific Method all on one sheet of paper. These scientific steps include student-friendly descriptions.The graphic organizer is scaffolded for students who may need extra support (numbered areas and graph templates that showcase where independent and dependent data should be displayed, sections to help students reflect on their progress, etc.).Teacher Information on implementing this student-centered lab over a course of three days

Originally, this was a project that was researched online and then drawn onto card-stock paper but times have changed and digital may be the best bet for this day and age. I also included a printable version of this project just in case you have students who prefer to be more hands on. Students use Smithsonian’s Human Family Tree website as a credible resource as they find information about early hominids, including their skull features, diet, pinpointing locations on Earth where they lived, tim

During this 3-4 day project, students will be designing and building a Marble Track to better understand the arrangement of object interacting at a distance and how kinetic and potential energy changes when distance (from the ground or from the end of the track, etc.) changes. Standards Covered... MS-PS3-2 Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, that different amounts of potential energy in the system. PS3.A Definitions of Energy (Pot

Here is a fun back-to-school science activity for the kids! Students learn more about each other by making simple metric conversions and through conversations with their peers. Once the banners are finished they can be displayed in the classroom all year! This product includes an editable version for teachers who would like to customize the look or change the questions you would want to ask your students. :) Hope you enjoy this product! ~ Mrs. Tafoya-Gadd @ TGLessons Check out these additional

Here is a great science-geared resource for those who are teaching a homeroom or advisory period this school year. Students have a choice of completing one item on their list for class credit and follow the guidelines and provide evidence of their work on slide #2. The slides are editable for students and can be exported onto google classroom or remote settings that use g suite products. Thank you for considering this resource! -Mrs. Tafoya-Gadd @ TGLessons
