Path of Light Through the Eye Cloze Paragraph

Great for formative assessments! Cloze paragraph and scramble activity to introduce, review, or reinforce the path that light takes as it enters the eye, creates an image, and sends that image to the brain. Cloze paragraph includes word box. Scramble activity involves cutting out statements and placing them in the correct order. This can be done individually, and pasted into an interactive notebook or laminated for the class and used over and over.

Set of three activities for reviewing and reinforcing matter. Activity 1 is the Matter Cloze paragraph worksheet. Students are given a short reading selection and a word box. The goal is to fill in the blanks correctly. Activity 2 is the States of Matter Phase Change formative assessment. This is a hands-on activity to match the names of the phase changes with the correct change of state as well as whether energy is being added or removed. Activity 3 is an "I have...Who has...?"

Phase Change Identification Activity

(0)
Manipulative activity in which students identify and label basic phase changes and whether energy is being added or removed. Students can cut and paste the answers and keep the completed activity in their notebooks, or teachers can laminate for multiple uses, and students can copy the completed diagram into their notebooks. Great formative assessment!
