The last question is a short answer question looking at measurement of matter such as volume and mass. An answer key is included for your convenience!

Check out this awesome task card activity that allows students to develop their understanding of static electricity. This activity works best with newspaper or any other thing paper. You will also need scissors for cutting of the ghosts and a dowel or pencil to rub the ghost transferring the electrons to it. Included is a clear set of instructions for the teacher and students on how to experiment with various surfaces around the room for the optimal static attraction. Included is a worksheet to track the optimal surfaces with a reflection section. Be sure to check out our other science task cards as well!

Allow students to apply their learned skills as they relate to sorting and classifying matter based on physical properties. This engaging nd rigorous project will prompt students to classify items (that yoy supply such as pencils, paperclips, cards, toys, etc) into three different categories. They will have to identify the categories as they see fit. They will be prompted with a few reflection questions that probe their thinking and offers insight for the teachers as to what their thinking was. To take it to the next level, students will got o the second page in which they need to re-classify their items into three new categories. With similar questions posed after. The clear directions and guided visuals will push students to apply concepts of matter, properties, and classification. This can easily be differentiated for students to use just two of the columns instead!

Check out this simple and clear worksheet on the planets, their order, and their descriptions. This can easily be adapted as guided notes, a worksheet, homework, small group work, independent work or as an assessment.
