Project for High School Environmental Science (mixed level grades 9-12) to design their dream, Environmentally Friendly Home! This is a summative assessment that combines knowledge about resource use, waste management, and even some engineering design! Students really enjoyed designing their home, and were so excited to create their blueprints on the computer, which added such a professional touch!! In addition to project assignment sheet, there are individual worksheets to guide students in completing this project including: Home Location - Starter sheet to help them once they have chosen the location for their home to collect information about that location so they can show how their home will use local resources and how it will be different from the typical house in that local. Environmental Choices - Worksheet for students to gather their ideas on how their home will use resources more sustainably. Drawing Checklist - Worksheet to guide them in creating the blueprint for their home and drawing the external view of their property. Paper and Presentation Checklist - To guide students in writing their final paper and putting together their presentation. Includes some suggestions for more creative ways to complete the presentation requirement. Fully detailed rubric that I used to score the project. Gives great detail in why the grade was earned while significantly decreasing time spent grading. Total Pages 10 Video review of project: https://goo.gl/mx2Fdy

Quiz For Racing Extinction Video, can also be used as a video guide while watching. I used 30 of the Questions from throughout the film.

Quiz includes vocabulary fill in the blank, matching, and multiple choice questions as well as drawing electric circuits, solving Ohm's Law and Power questions, and identifying complete paths in a complex circuit. 3 Pages total. Thorough answer key included. Link and QR code to Quizlet set (34 words) that accompanies this quiz. It can be used to practice with flashcards, practice spelling, play review games, or take practice quizzes. Also, a one page, glossary style vocabulary list with definitions created from the quizlet set.

Keep your kids engaged and turn a movie day into a day of quality notes! Worksheet of questions to accompany the Bill Nye the Science Guy episode on Phases of Matter! Answer key included!

I used this as a review quiz after watching the Horizon Film: Mystery of Easter Island (available on youtube). It contains 21 questions specifically about the movie followed by 4 questions from our introduction to Environmental Science - Topics: Renewable vs Nonrenewable resources, Tragedy of the Commons, Sustainability, Difference between Environmental Science and Ecology and Environmentalism, and Ecological Footprints. Full answer key included as a separate word document for ease of grading. 25 questions total on 2 pages. Some short answer some more in depth. ALSO contains a second copy of the answer key with suggested point values for each question.

Short Project I did with my Environmental Science Class to apply what they learned about sustainable resource use and renewable resources after watching the Horizon Video and read an article both about Easter Island. Could also be done in any general science, earth science, or even middle school science classes! Really gets the kids engaged and using their creativity! Product includes PowerPoint overview of the project, project assignment sheet, and grading rubric for easy grading. Total Pages6

Short Quiz I use in my physics class as a formative assessment of their understanding of how to do temperature unit conversions, use the heat equation, and apply some of the concepts we have learned. Contains 2 open response style problems and a fill in the blank section. Two versions are provided, one with and one without a word bank for the matching for your convenience. Also, a full answer key is included. Could also be used as a classwork or homework assignment! Aligned to the following MA state standards: 3.1 Explain how heat energy is transferred by convection, conduction, and radiation. 3.2 Explain how heat energy will move from a higher temperature to a lower temperature until equilibrium is reached. 3.3 Describe the relationship between average molecular kinetic energy and temperature. 3.4 Explain the relationships among temperature changes in a substance, the amount of heat transferred, the amount (mass) of the substance, and the specific heat of the substance.

Study Guide for my Heat Unit. Includes main ideas, essential questions, MA state standards, vocabulary list, equations, homework assignments, QR codes and links to resources, and learning checklist. Designed to Accompany Pearson Science Explorer: Motion, Forces, and Energy Chapter 6 but could be modified for any text. Word document for ease of modification.

Guided notes to accompany introduction PowerPoint (my primary free product!) and practice problems including solving for work and power, identifying when work is done, and a fill-in-the blank review section of vocab from work, power, force, etc. Designed to accompany: PowerPoint Introduction to work and power with examples and practice problems

This powerpoint, Introduction to Work and Power with examples and practice problems is used to teach what is work and how to solve for work and power. Designed to accompany Prentice Hall Science Explorer - Motion Forces and Energy chapter 4 Section 1 Work and Power, but could easily be adapted to fit any text. The Powerpoint for this section is 9 slides. Includes Daily Objectives. Use this to assess the quality of my work!

PowerPoint and Guided notes to teach about major energy forms in my 9th grade Introductory Physics class. Designed to accompany Pearson Science Explorer: Motion, Forces, and Energy Chapter 5 Section 2, but could be modified to fit any text. Guided notes provide modification for those who require it, but also can help all students better learn the material. Word document to provide differentiation options. MA state frameworks: 2.1 Interpret and provide examples that illustrate the law of conservation of energy. 2.2 Interpret and provide examples of how energy can be converted from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa.
