About the store
This is my 14th year in education. I have taught for nine years and been an Instructional Science Coach for the past 4 years. I also write curriculum for our school district, provide professional development for teachers, and take on many leadership roles within our school. I have a Masters of Science in Educational Innovation and Technology. I have always been an advocate of technology integration in the classroom, and now it is even more crucial that we provide high quality digital lessons for our students to increase engagement. I am hoping that through the creation of digital lessons at a low cost, that I can make things a little bit easier for teachers.

Physical Properties Digital Mystery Bag
These animated Google Slides provide a digital way to play the Mystery Bag activity. Each slide describes the physical properties of the item in the bag. After students guess, the teacher will click to reveal the item in the bag. Students can then compare the physical properties of the item in the bag to the item they guessed. This activity can be edited and used for any elementary grade level. This is a great introductory activity for exploring physical properties!
