This middle school science practical activity worksheet engages students in preparing Mixtures, Solutions and Suspensions and then recording (through drawings and text) and analyzing their observations.

This spreadsheet will generate a random name from the class list. Download and save the spreadsheet. Open it (you must enable editing and macros) and replace the names with your class members. Make sure each one has a corresponding number in the first column, then click on the 'Go' button. This was put together as a bit of fun for my Y9 science classes.

There are two articles for students to read. They then need to use the table to collectively summarise information from the sources. Students then read the reliability, validity, accuracy section and answer questions about the two sources. Students then have to use the HSC verb JUSTIFY to answer the question of which source should be published in a text book. I used this for a persuasive writing style task in Science to assist with our whole school literacy strategies. We are also starting to practise HSC verbs in junior years.

This Power Point was designed to be an introduction to different lab equipment found in a typical high school science lab. It covers most common lab equipment, their names, what they look like, and what they are used for, and is aimed at Stage 4, Year 7-8, level science class, or as a refresher for older years.

Science has really dropped off the radar as a career path for student since the tech boom of the nineties, but the fact is we need scientists more than ever to help try and solve the problems of the day. This poster highlights the many different things that scientists do and would look great in any classroom.

Workbook marking rubric (used to mark science workbooks).Suitable for all years, all areas.

Information and activity booklet with a range of low to higher order congitive tasks focusing on the dating methods used to work out the age of archaeological finds. Literacy skills are also embedded with a range of questions starting with comprehension, prediction and then application of learning. Information and activity booklet + application of learning worksheet. Relates to Preliminary AH topic 1a "History, Archaeology & Science" syllabus sub-section 5 The Role of Science in History & Archaeology.

A set of ion cards with formulas and names of ions which can be copied onto different coloured card and cut out. These visual manipulatives were designed to help students learn to write chemical formulas. Suggestions on ways to use the cards are included. This is an activity I designed and published on my website in 2000. It was subsequently published in the Netherlands Journal for Science Teachers, “Impuls”, 2003, 10(2), 38. Co-author Maria Cornelisse (APS, Institute of School Improvement, Utrecht, The Netherlands). The State Department of Education in Western Australia also requested permission for all Australian schools to store the website on their servers and make hard copies of the materials as required.

I teach a small group of students once a week and they work independently in teams of two to plan and conduct their own Science Inquiry question. to conclude the parents are invited to a presentation morning. The students prepare their own powerpoint presentations about their project. This powerpoint is a gude to setting up their presentations so that all components to their project are covered in the final presentation.

A scavenger hunt for year 7 students to reinforce the names of equipment found in the science lab. Lots of fun. Also helps reinforce science rules such as 'no running in the lab&'.
