Why Edify

This activity can be used as part of a unit on Immigration. Students take on the role of an immigrant and reflect on what they would be to their new country if they had a limited amount of space. It's a good activity to promote multiple perspectives.

Science Quests are used to guide students through review cycles throughout the school each. Each science quest has a vocabulary review, questions related to the vocabulary review, and a current event/real world connection. I generally assign these through Google Classroom as a hyperdoc. We review student work at the end of the work in small groups. The focus of this Science Quest is Mass, Weight, Volume, and Density.

This project is useful when studying the periodic table of elements and/or properties of matter. Students love exploring the various online interactive tables and sharing the final poster products. Included you will find a PDF and WORD copy of the project so that you can customize it to fit your needs. There is also a rubric included for assessment purposes.

This is the rubric I use with my 8th grade science students. It's standards based on a three point scale. The learning targets for this notebook are below: -I can maintain an organized notebook. -I can maintain a science notebook that shows evidence of learning.

This is a document I use with my students to help them identify ways to creatively express their ideas in their Interactive Science Notebooks.
