Upper Middle School

Students will test their understanding of the Density formula be solving for all 3. Students will then test their understanding of what happens to density when and object is cut in half. (See back)

This worksheet has students; -Identify methods in which rocks are metamorphosed, -write a direct relationship between metamorphism and distance to metamorphic source -identify contact metamorphism and symbols -use a complex table to identify metamorphic characteristics and connect sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock equivalents. (full disclosure--- the complex table is a variation of the New York State Earth Science Regents Reference Table page 7)

This exercise provides a brief description of Gamete formation in Meiosis and the genetic variation that results from it. The focused objective is providing Punnett Square practice and interpreting the possible traits that can result from it.

This half-sheet provides an example of solving for Mass and Volume with crossing out results from cross multiplying. The back page provides an easy way to remember manipulating the Density = Mass/Volume formula.

This is a double sided half-sheet designed to have students recognize the eastward and westward pattern of changing Time Zones. Students will also hand draw changing times on clock faces and describe the calendar day-change when crossing the International Date Line (IDL).

Students practice drawing basic contour profiles. This is only meant as in introductory practice to profiles. Students will also practice determining stream flow direction and measuring using scale values.

This is primarily for New York City Teachers. In this download you will find a: 1. Guide with descriptions of the geology, landscape, fauna, history of Inwood Hill and Fort Tryon parks suitable for a walking tour. The description is by no means complete but works well in the time spent walking through the parks with middle schoolers. 2. A description of the trip for parents and students. The back page is also a request for chaperones. 3. A Time Plan for travel to the park, walking through the pa

Students will; - Read, jot, (annotate) a edited story of a helicopter rescue on Mount Everest after the April 25th 2015 Earthquake. - realize an increase in altitude will, (among other weather phenomena) result in a decrease in air pressure. - further their understanding of what causes air pressure to occur and decrease as altitude increases. - use math skills to determine air pressure at various altitudes. --- The last page was used on the 2016 New York State Intermediate Science Exam- I did no

Students will relate the relative density of objects to water's density by comparing 'how much of the object is above the water line. Students will then cut and paste objects onto the beaker of water. Students will visually see what happens to an object's density when it is cut in half.

Students practice recording/writing numbers to the nearest tenth of a number.

Students practice recognizing metric terms as compared to standard.

Students practice measuring and recording line segments to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. Students practice calculating, rounding and recording area and volume to the nearest tenth of the correct units.
