Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, and Landscapes Guided Notes with KeyPerfect for Earth Science Class! This bundle includes a full unit of guided notes including editable copies to make it your own. As the name implies, this unit covers all aspects of weathering, erosion, deposition, and the resulting landscapes. Each document is 33 pages of comprehensive content. I've been teaching earth science for 17 years and this is the guided notes I use. I hope you like them

Just a fun poster to hang in your classroom stating that there are no excuses in your classroom. This poster is 8.5" by 11".

This is a universal video response sheet that could be used for any video. I use this one for videos in my science class. It's set up like a rubric so you can easily keep your students accountable and give them a grade.

Here is a great new spin on learning the rock cycle. This tool allows teachers and students to choose which processes to apply to a any rock...melting, weathering, heat and /or pressure...and then to see what happens next. When you click on one of the process buttons, the slide automatically advances to the proper location. This will show the students which processes are possible and which are not. The more you use the tutorial, the better you get at predicting the outcome. If you like this,

Turn your students into teachers! In this project, your students will research a topic of your choice, turn what they’ve learned into a BIG book for young children, and then present their book to an elementary class. Since the BIG book will have very few words and big, colorful pictures, your students will have to further explain and describe scientific concepts. This is a great project that can be tailored to any class. This particular one was designed for an earth science lesson, but you coul

Here is a great spin on the old historical figure research project but with a new twist using technology. Students will do research on a famous scientist and build a fake Facebook (Fakebook) page. It can be any scientist, or you could focus on a specific discipline, like chemistry or biology. I've included all the instructions, a rubric to help you with grading, a list of some chemists to research, and a solid example to compare to.

This is just a simple worksheet that introduces or reviews the similarities and differences between mixtures, compounds, and solutions, along with examples and practice.

Dear Teacher, This is a simple and effective way to either demonstrate a controlled experiment, or to assign your students a safe, meaningful lab. All you need is a few simple materials. I have also included a quiz at the end with an answer key. This lab covers topics and terms such as scientific method, controlled experiment hypothesis, independent and dependent variables, constants, etc. This presentation works best if you can alter it as you go. You can also change it to suit your needs or

FUN whole class activity! Being able to make observations and then inferences based on those observations is a very valuable skills to have in the science classroom, other subjects, and in life. This activity is a great way to introduce these skills or to reinforce them. The activity is led by the teacher from a SmartBoard or projector and can be easily completed in one class period. The file is designed so that the teacher simply clicks through the slides and the students follow along.

This is a great project to give your middle school students as you are teaching about Classification of Organisms. It asks your students to choose and research an animal from a given list and prepare a colorful poster and a short presentation. Focus questions are included to help guide the students' research. A student rubric is also included.
