I used this to help explain cost vs benefits for the environmental issues portion of 6th grade science. Students will research the cost of a hybrid car and it's gasoline model using the Internet. They will then calculate the cost of gas for each car over a 5 year period of time. The students will then see if the cost of a hybrid car is worth the larger sticker price. This correlates with VA sol 6.9d.

28 Task cards to cover Virginia sol 6.5 and 6.7. Water on Earth, Watersheds, and Wetlands are covered.

This is 24 task cards aligned with Virginia Science SOL 6.6 I print these on card stock to play a game of Scoot with, by taping them onto desk and putting a timer up on the board for 45 seconds. The 45 seconds may be longer than the students need, but it helps them to learn "wait times" for the BIG test questions. Also available in the Atmosphere Bundle Atmosphere Bundle

I use this as an "output" for student notes on the atmospheric layers. They use the Internet to find the altitudes of each layer and where the sort items go. Also available in the Atmosphere Bundle Atmosphere Bundle

This is a sort I use as part of the "student output" on storms in our Interactive Science Notebooks.

This is a bundle of 3 items: The Air Around Us Sort The Air Around Us Sort Atmospheric Layers Sort Atmosphere Layers Sort Atmosphere Task Cards Atmosphere Task Cards

I use this sort for students to compare the properties of different gases in the air on Earth. We use it in the "What I learned/Output" section of our ISNs. The follows Virginia SOL 6.4 and 6.6. Also available in the Atmosphere Bundle Atmosphere Bundle

This is my student output for our section on aquatic ecosystems. They will compare freshwater and marine ecosystems with biotic and abiotic factors.

I use this sort in our interactive notebook as the student's output after learning about Earth's moon.

I use this as the student output in our interactive notebook for 7th grade Life Science. It is not a perfectly balanced sort, but it covers the material my students need.

Solar system task cards that I use for Scoot games. These cards cover Virginia science SOL 6.8.

This is what I use for students to enter their answers when we are playing Scoot with task cards. It's a word document, so you can add or subtract lines as needed.

These are my end of the class period procedures. I have them taped to my door for students to see as they are leaving.
