The Ultimate Class Starter is here. 300 slides with an interesting and thought provoking fact as well as an interesting image to spark student minds the second they walk into the room.

Have you ever stopped to wonder where our sayings come from? Look no further. Here is a long list of sayings with their associated origins. The sayings chosen tend to be of an unknown or non-obvious nature (which most are not familiar with). You can use this as a daily starter, mid-class breaker, closer, etc.

Ever want students to have a good conversation on estimating things they will probably be way off on. It is a fun activity where you laugh at how far off you can be and get super excited when you get an estimation really close. Super fun.

Not all skeletons are easily identified. Have students look at the skeletons of animals and guess which animals they are. Some are easy, some are impossible. It is really interesting where students assess features of a skeleton to give clues for what animal it is.

300 Slides for starting your classes off with something that gets the kids thinking. This set is related to LA topics which can include things from meaning/origins of words, literature, movies, TV, and much more. They can start interesting conversations to start the class and let the kids look for answers to things they don't understand or never before knew.

This will be one of your favorite handouts ever for high school chemistry classes. There are 20 combustion reactions where students need to balance them. They progress from the easier molecules of methane and ethane to really interesting ones like large wax molecules and ketones. It doesn't matter if your class knows how to name the molecules, it is the practice with balancing that is the purpose of this document. Enjoy. (All problems are C/H/O combustions)

Use in a variety of ways. I use it as a first day activity to get to know the students. Neat to talk about perspectives and how people think differently. Super fun!
