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.
Thanksgiving is a difficult time of year with students excited for vacation. Here is a great no-prep activity for secondary science students which will allow them to compete against each other and the clock while reviewing their skills solving problems using dimensional analysis.
I love this activity because it keeps my students critically thinking and working together. In this problem set are seven multi-step problems with questions, a student guide sheet with some conversions and a detailed teacher's Key with how to set up the problems and the answers.
Although geared towards Thanksgiving, this a great activity to brush up student math skills in Science any time of year!
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: hypothesis, experiment, constant, variable, data, research, and a blank document for student-designed words.
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 student’s struggle with.
In your file, you will receive the word wall word/words you purchased plus the blank template.

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.*
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
Gene Regulation can be one of the most confusing concepts to each secondary science and college level biology classes.
This power point breaks both prokaryotic and eukaryotic regulation down into simple terms that can be easily understood.
The last slide asks the students to create a contrasting chart to write the differences of gene regulation between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Topics:
Prokaryotic regulation
Lac Operon
Repressor
Operator
Eukaryotic regulation
Transcription complex
Repressor
Histones
RNA polymerase
TATA Box
The waves power point is in depth instruction over waves, Students will learn wave vocabulary, wave forms and types of waves.
Wave vocabulary covered in this power point include; wave, amplitude, wavelength, crest, trough, line of equilibrium, frequency, longitudinal wave, transverse wave, compression, rarefraction, reflection, refraction, diffraction, polarization, resonance, doppler effect, electromagnetic waves, mechanical waves, constructive interference and destructive interference.
As you move through the power point there are multiple real life examples so students have real reference points they can think about while learning about waves. There is a plethora of scientific diagrams with labels included.
This power point has 16 symbiotic scenarios. The students are to read each slide and analyze the pictures in order to choose which symbiotic level is depicted. The fours symbiotic relationships presented are endosymbiosis, commensalism, predation, parasitism and mutualism. I usually have my students work with a partner. It is a lot of fun to hear them talk about each situation using educational dialogue. This is an excellent follow up activity after the Symbiosis Power point to make sure the students understand the difference relationships.
Taxonomy is a system of classification used by scientists to organize organisms. The power point goes over the taxonomic levels and the main groups. Students will know the levels of taxonomy and the characteristics of the main groups. A brief review of viruses is included for comparison so students can see how viruses are not living.
It is important to promote writing across the disciplines. Sometimes it is difficult to come up with writing prompts. These task cards are specific to secondary science and they cover Chemistry: Classification of Matter.
This activity can be used as a bell ringer, pop quiz or closing. It is a good exercise to make the brief students write longer and the novel writers write shorter answers.
There are 31 writing prompts with instructions as to how many sentences they should write. You can adjust the pages per sheet setting to print multiple cards per sheets of paper.
This is a one sheet of paper foldable which covers the important properties of water: polarity, hydrogen bonds, adhesion, cohesion, chemical buffer and density anomaly. Excellent for AP and PAP Biology and Chemistry courses.
Key and instructions included.
This Periodic Table Graphic Organizer is designed for Interactive notebooks in a secondary science class.
Students will look at the different parts of the periodic table and list the characteristics of metals, nonmetals and metalloids (semi-metals).
Students will color a 119-element periodic table according to groups such as Alkaline metals, Halogens and nonmetals.
Students will also cover periodic trends such as electronegativity, atomic radii, ionic radii and ionization.
EXCELLENT FOR ANY STATE!!!
Texas Chemistry TEKS
(5) Science concepts. The student understands the historical development of the Periodic Table and can apply its predictive power. The student is expected to:
(A) explain the use of chemical and physical properties in the historical development of the Periodic Table;
(B) use the Periodic Table to identify and explain the properties of chemical families, including alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, noble gases, and transition metals; and
(C) use the Periodic Table to identify and explain periodic trends, including atomic and ionic radii, electronegativity, and ionization energy.
Next Generation Science Standards
HS-PS1-1. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
The population genetics power point covers the mechanisms of how species evolve over time. It begins with an overview of Hardy-Weinberg and then delves into genetic flow, genetic drift, bottleneck effect, founder's effect, the types of selection, the types of isolation and the types of speciation.
The power point is filled with examples of the mechanisms and pictures, graphs and charts to help emphasize the concepts.
The concepts are heavy within population genetics so I would advise to chunk the information up into segments instead of teaching them all the way through in one day.
Genetic Disorders goes over the DNA mutations and couples each of them with a disease that people are affected by. Point mutation frame shift mutation, chromosomal mutations and sex-linked mutations are all included. Diseases like sickle cell anemia, albinism and others are also discussed. Excellent for AP Biology and Genetics.
A power point is available in a separate listing.
The DNA Processes Power Point covers DNA replication and protein synthesis: DNA transcription and translation. All important enzymes and nucleotides are covered. A summary of each process follows the full length explanations. Students will be able to explain the difference between DNA replication and Protein synthesis. Students will know where the processes take place, which organelles are involved and how the nucleotides translate. Students will also know how to translate codons into the appropriate amino acids.

This is a basic Wanted Poster Template for pathogenic bacteria. It is two pages long and done in an Old West Style. 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.
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.
