This power point explains the flow of energy through an environment. It discusses how sunlight is converted during photosynthesis and how organisms then use cellular respiration. Trophic levels, energy pyramid, food chains and food webs are all covered. Students will be able to identify which trophic level an organisms belongs in and understand how the cellular process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration allow energy to flow through an environment.

This bundle contains three resources for teaching students about classifying matter. It has an interactive power point which goes over characteristics of elements, compounds, mixtures and solutions that directs the students to create a foldable. There is a worksheet set with concept map on classifying matter. I have also included writing task cards for the students. I also have the products available as separate listings. Bundle contains: Elements Compound Mixtures Solutions Power Point Classification of Matter: Questions, Practice, Concept map and KEY Classification of Matter: Chemistry Writing Task Cards

Classifying Organisms is a power point for students to classify organisms into the domains and kingdoms. I have also included viruses. There are thirty slides with pictures and a few clues. Students are to decide whether the organism belongs to Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Plantae, Animalia, Fungus or Protista. Some of the slides may be Viruses. This is a great lesson to encourage academic discussions. The students can work in partners and the teacher is simply the facilitator.

I have bundled two versions of this genetic disorders worksheets. They both cover the same chromosomal diseases but one is short answer and the other asks the students to describe the disease symptoms. In both sets the students are given 8 karyotypes that they need to identify by gender and figure out what chromosomal abnormalities are in each. The students can then take that information and research it online or at a library to find the syndrome's name and symptoms (long answer set). The teacher key is included for both. The students worksheets are five pages long since they include an introduction in each set. The teacher keys are four pages long for each set. The picture file is just for advertising.*

Coloring pages have recently become a huge hit all over the world. In my new series of word wall coloring pages, you can bring the excitement of coloring into your middle school and high school science classrooms. This set includes the words: Photosynthesis, Cellular respiration, autotroph, heterotroph, chloroplast, mitochondria, ATP, glucose, glycolysis, oxygen, carbon dioxide, light independent, light dependent, Krebs cycle, light energy, chemical energy, and water. Word Walls are an instructional tool used primarily in the elementary classroom. While teaching in Texas my administrators decided they wanted secondary teachers to use the tool as well. It was a great success on many levels. Students took time learning about their word and creating a design for it. I always displayed all the words and the students took great pride in seeing their work displayed. The students also enjoyed looking at each other’s work. I noticed over time that my students would frequently look at the wall while we working. Especially during pop quizzes or bell work. The word wall truly helped my students to remember their vocabulary words and seeing them displayed all the time in class made it easier for them to refresh their memory when necessary. Each word wall poster has a word wall art graphic that students can color. There is a designated box to write the scientific definitions, synonyms or examples, antonyms or nonexamples and space to write a sentence using the word. I developed word wall coloring pages for my students who struggled with what to draw and write when working on word walls. I always offer a blank template for my self-motivated artists, but the coloring pages allowed my students who struggle with a means for creating a beautiful piece of word wall art as well. My favorite way to use word walls includes after a test, to introduce new vocabulary in a relaxing format, sub work or as extra credit. They are also a fun way to revisit words students’ struggle with. Please feel free to tag me on Instagram (@MizzzFostersClass) to show off your students’ work.

The Cell Transport Processes covered in this power point and worksheet bundle are diffusion, passive transport, osmosis: hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic, active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis. The power point and worksheets also covers homeostasis and what basic elements a cells needs to have in order to maintain homeostasis. I included a printable homeostasis chart that is displayed in the power point.

The History of Atomic Theory, Atomic Structure, Isotopes and Atomic Mass are presented in three different sections of this power point. You can see the different sections by the change in colors. You will go through the scientists and experiments which contributed to the synthesis of the Atomic theory. The next section will go over the parts of the atom. The last section will review isotopes and atomic mass. Students will also learn how the masses on the Periodic Table where calculated.

This is a ten problem multiple step set of calculating average atomic mass. In addition to solving for average atomic, students will calculate relative abundance percentages, and the actual mass of various isotopes. I have included a detailed teachers key which shows how each problem is solved.

Test your students understand of homeostasis with this ten question quiz. Students need to write what the body needs to regulate or is trying to regulate and what type of feedback mechanism it is.

This Genetic Punnett Squares Bundle has a thorough Power point covering; complete dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, sex-linked traits (both X and Y), Blood typing, monohybrid, dihybrid, pedigrees and epistasis. The examples are real examples and includes slides over human genetics to help clear up misconceptions on how physical traits are inherited.

A new twist on lab safety and equipment review. Many times we repeat the same lab safety and equipment reviews every year. Make it fun with this Lab Safety and Equipment Memory game. The students will need to match 25 pairs of cards. One card has a description and the students need to match it with a picture or explanation. The game allows the students to continuously review lab safety and equipment while having fun and being competitive. The cards are square and saved as a pdf. By adjusting your page count per printed page you can adjust the size of your cards. I suggest laminating them and keeping them year after year. I use one set per lab table. You can have the students compete within a single table or between groups.

The main animal phylums; Porifera, Cnidaria, Acoela, Nematods, Rotifers, Annelids, Mollusca, Arthropods, Echinoderms, Chordates are covered. The characteristics are also covered; symmetry, tissue layers, embryonic development, body cavities, body structure, vertebrates, body systems. This chart goes along well with the Animal Kingdom power point or you can purchase it as bundle with the Animal Kingdom Power Point. It is excellent for secondary and college level Biology courses. The answer key is included in the file.

The temperature conversion foldable works great for learning about temperature, thermodynamic units, gas laws and anywhere students need to convert between temperature units. The temperature units covered are Celsius, Kelvin and Fahrenheit. The brochure has places where students record notes, fill out a formula conversion table and have practice temperature conversion problems. The teacher key is detailed. This brochure can easily be glued into composition notebooks, spiral notebooks or placed into a folder.

This file contains three chemical reaction foldables. Each one has a student and teacher version. The Three Foldable Bundle includes: INTRODUCTION TO CHEMICAL REACTIONS This is a one page foldable which is photocopied front to back. It gives students a overview of chemical reactions. The Law of Conservation of Matter / Mass, balancing chemical reactions, coefficients, subscripts , reactants and products are all covered. Students will be able to identify the parts of a chemical reaction and count atoms to make sure they are balanced for the reactant and product sides. TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS This foldable covers six types of chemical reactions; synthesis. decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, combustion and acid / base reactions. Student sheet allows for definitions and student notes. The teacher key has the answers and is set up just like the student printable for ease of grading and checking notes. There is also a half page dichotomy key that students can use while they are classifying chemical reactions. It is is a series of yes / no questions that will guide the students to correctly labeling their chemical reactions. EVIDENCES FOR CHEMICAL REACTIONS This one page graphic organizer covers eight evidences of chemical reactions; color change, odor change, temperature change, indicator change, gas formation, precipitate formation, composition change and the irreversibility of chemical reactions. The foldable is simple to photocopy front to back. The students have areas to draw examples they can relate to and the teacher key includes common instances of chemical reactions students will be able to identify with. The inside portion of the foldable has places for students to write descriptions and list examples of each type of chemical reaction evidence.

The Eukaryote Cell Fold-Out foldable is specifically designed for a secondary science course and covers the main organelles found in ALL eukaryotic cells. Inside there is a cell for each Eukaryotic kingdom: Protist, Plant, Animal, and Fungus. Students will label the organelles for each kingdom and describe the special organelles that are unique to each kingdom. EXCELLENT RESOURCE FOR ANY STATE!!

This graphic organizer covers the precursors to teaching stoichiometry. The students begin reviewing atomic mass, molar mass, moles and Avogadro's number. Each definition is coupled with practice problems for the students to solve. The next concept is percent composition. there are instructions on how to solve percent composition from the compounds formula and from masses given. The last two concepts covered are empirical formulas and molecular formulas. Again there are practice problems you can solve with your class. I have included detailed teachers key and the foldable easily fits into a composition notebook or spiral ring notebook to complete an interactive notebook.

The Rainbow lab is an excellent first day activity for secondary students who have lab experience. The students have to follow instructions, measure liquids, use glassware and follow safety procedures.

Students need to be assigned a pathogenic bacteria to research, The poster has the information they need to look for and the area on the poster it needs to be written. The boxed are areas the students can either draw the information or print pictures out to glue in place. I have included a list of bacteria diseases as well. Some are the common names, others are scientific names. Allow the students to find the scientific and common names.

Astronomy Ornament Activity is a fun fine motor skills activity designed for older students to have an opportunity to create a papercraft while using their fine motor skills, through writing, coloring, cutting, gluing, and assembly. There are fifteen celestial objects including an astronaut. The ornaments have a front and back. The front of the ornament is a rendering of the celestial body. The back of the ornament has questions about the astronomy element that students can answer using their books or a quick internet search. Students will color the ornaments’ fronts and backs, cut the ornaments out, and assemble them. Students can glue the fronts and back together. Another option is using cardstock between the two layers for added structural support. I am sure there are multiple other options that you and your students can come up with. These are also fun classroom decorations to hang up. I have hung some of mine from the ceiling and the students enjoy looking at them. Instructions are included as a PowerPoint presentation or pdf file.
