Quantifying the results of science fair or stem fair is always difficult since there are so many pieces that go into it. Check out this four part rubric that allows for 1-4 points for each section. Students can score a total of 16 points which can then be multiple by 6.25 to be out of 100. This rubric is broken into the following sections: Display, Demonstration/Presentation, Scientific Thought, and Skill. Each domain has a clear explanation of the expectations for each of the four points that are possible. This is a great way to be transparent and provide feedback for students to reflect and improve on. Be sure to check out our other Science Fair resources as well!

Check out this highly unique way of developing students understanding of planets, comets, moons and asteroids. Based on a long list of properties, traits and details, students must identify which of the aforementioned labels apply. Students will look at the name of the object, type of orbit, composition, shape, and atmosphere. From these pre-identified components, students must extrapolate their labels. Some of these include identifying what Io is, what Phobos is, what Halley is, what Jupiter is, and much more! An answer key has been included for your convenience!

It will offer valuable insight into students' understanding of their learned content knowledge. Topics and vocabulary included are ramps, pulleys, levers, inclined pages and general overview of simple machines. An answer key has been included for your convenience.

Check out this awesome week long project in which students can explore simple machines in a more interactive way. With clear directions and expectations for each day, this project will push students to research one simple machine. You will need to create a sample for students to see, based on your expectations, but throughout the week, students will create some sort of presentation (ppt, poster, skit, etc.) and will ultimately present to their peers. I would suggest having students record notes on each others' presentations, as they will solely become the master of one. This can easily be adapted though for students to research each simple machine each day as well. A rubric and student-friendly directions are included!

Presented in a diverse forms of questions including multiple choice, matching, and drawing a labelling, this worksheet includes 21 questions that assesses students' understanding of an atom, its components as well as how these atoms therefore affect the physical properties of matter. There are two sets of word banks for the matching to support students being successful. This can easily be adapted for a quiz, a test, an exit ticket (if cut into pieces based ont he day), a study guide, homework or a supplemental in the class for small group, or independant work. An answer key has been included for your convenience :)

Check out this simple graphic organizer of subatomic particles that can be used as an exit ticket, guided notes, worksheet and so much more. It's simple format includes space for the charge, location, and size of protons, neturons, and electrons. The second part of the worksheet includes students drawing their own atom with the subatomic particles labelled. Portions of this can easily be filled in for students that require differentiaiton of some sort. An answer key has been included for your convenience!

Check out this simple and student friendly template that students can use to facilitate their scientific investigations. Separated into give clear sections with labels and visuals, students can explore any item with their five senses. This is a great way to develop students' abilities to investigate and explore. Implementing this with some sort of candy treat like Nerds is a great way to have fun while learning and allow for components of sound like and taste like, when alternatives may not be possible. Have fun!

Check out this awesome mini investigation in which students can develop their understanding with visual supplements of electrical energy, and specifically static electricity. In order to complete this you will need 2 balloons, 4 ft of string, and some wool, fur, or acrylic material. Included with clear directions to teachers and students, as well as clearly articulated objectives, this activity will walk students through their own investigation in which they develop their understanding of various materials' impact on static build up and the transfer of electrons. A supplemental worksheet is included to facilitate and probe learning. Be sure to check out our other Science Task Cards as well such as our Musical Static Balloons Task Card Activity!

Check out this awesome bundle that includes an assessment that can be used as a quiz or test with an aligned study guide that can be implemented the day before, for homework or any other format that works for you and your kiddos. The study guide includes three key questions that students are to reflect on and answer and the assessment includes eight questions that are both fill in the blank and short answer. This is a great way to gain insight into students' understanding of the properties of sounds, how it travels, and sound energy in general. An answer key has been included for your convenience!

Check out this three part assessment that covers topics of states of matter. One part has students drawing a model of the atom proximity for each state, another sections has a matching portion with different vocabulary words and the third part has comparing various states with one another. This can easily be used as a quiz, test, homework, guided notes, independent work and so much more. You can also check out my multiple choice option in my store as well. An answer key has been included for your convenience!

This 10-question assessment serves as a great quiz, test, exit ticket, or independent assessment to offer insight into what students know about topics related to states of matter.

Take your science instruction to the next level while you fully understand exactly where your students came from and where they are going. This vertical alignment of standards is content-organized and color coded for simple reference. Based on the Florida Sunshine Standards from 2008 (still being used) this packet clearly articulates the gap in instruction for certain grade levels, when items are scaffolded, when they pick up, and when they drop off. This is great for interventions, acceleration, filling gaps, and so much more!

Check out this awesome project that teaches kids about light energy. We have all learned that a prism refracts or bends the light to show the colors of the rainbow since white light encompasses all the colors. This activity turns it around and allows kids to see white light from the combination of all colors. Included in it is a template to give to each student. On the circle, they will color each slice one of the colors as modeled in the example. Some sort of string is needed by you to run through the two holes as modeled as well. Students will wind up their circle and spin it. I would recommend giving each student two circles, so they can glue them back to back. A one page note taking template is included as well with an answer key that covers terminology such as refraction, reflection, absorption and more. Students will have blast with this project and will always remember how they made white light out of the rainbow, instead of the other way around!

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!

If you've been wondering how to make Magic School Bus videos a bit more meaningful and purposeful, check out this simple worksheet to supplement watching the videos. Very simply, the first half prompts students to describe how the characters used their observation skills. The second half incorporates five additional questions that ask for specific observations of the characters using their five sense. This is a great addition when a substitute is present or just to enhance interaction with the video. It doubles as a nice Lesson Plan bonus :)
