This is a lab investigation using an online oscilloscope to measure the various parts of a sound wave. The lab is aligned to Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS): MS-PS4-1. Students will use mathematical representations to describe and/or support scientific conclusions associated with sound waves and their movement. Students should understand the parts of a wave, as well as formula to calculate wavelength, frequency, and velocity prior to beginning the lab. Students will need access to a la

The following webquest is used to introduce students to the topic of paleontology, Earth's vast history, and mass extinctions. The webquest walks students through time. Students will explore the major mass extinctions, the rise of early organisms, and how the biodiversity of life on Earth began. Students will use simulations, videos articles, and online resources to complete the assignment. The assignment is aligned to NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) MS-LS4-2: Apply scientific ideas

This assignment is used to introduce, extend, or review homologous traits using various online resources, simulations, and diagrams. Students will explore the terminology, define characteristics of homologous traits. This can be used as an extension, group activity, or independent review. The lesson is aligned to NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards).

This is a general worksheet for students to practice reading graphs, data analysis, and understanding trends in data. I use this document to help collect data for my SLO each year. The document works great as a review, teaching tool, or assessment. The file contains an answer key to accompany the worksheet and questions.

The following resource is a Punnett Square Practice for beginners. The practice contains ten questions, broken down as the following: Questions #1-3: Students identify genotypes as homozygous dominant, recessive, or heterozygousQuestion #4: Vocabulary check Questions #5-6: Students must complete a portion of a Punnett Square (the square is setup for them, through a provided scenario). Students must use their understanding of Punnett Squares to fill in one portion of the square. Questions #7-

This resource is chapter one in a ten chapter series about Space and the Solar System. The chapters cover a variety of concepts all broken down into simple to understand sections. The sections include unit vocabulary, definitions, diagrams, examples, and videos. These are great resources as reference documents, homework, or classwork readings. The other chapters include: Chapter 1: It is all about DistanceChapter 2: Gravity Calculations Chapter 3: Earth's Moon Chapter 4: How the Moon Formed

This lab is all about introducing the Characteristics of Life. Students do not need any exposure to the topic prior to completing the lab. I used to do this as an "opening" activity to the unit. Students start by defining what they feel it means to be "alive" and as a class they choose 5 characteristics to represent life. They will then analyze (observational) several specimen to determine if they meet the qualifications the class chose to represent their characteristics of life. If a living sp

This activity is used to help students compare homologous traits between different arthropods. The activity provides general background knowledge to review the different classes of arthropods. The activity is designed to go along with the Classifying Arthropods (Virtual Dissection) and my Blue Crab Exploration (Virtual Dissection) on my store. The document reviews the structure and function of Arthropods, basic reproduction, and evolution. There is also a link to a practice test from CK12.
