Check out this incredible project that is inspired by Shark Tank. Included in this large packet, you will find directions for the teacher, directions for the students, challenge sheet with an explanation hook, templates for each stage of the invention and advertisement process and a clear rubric to convey expectation. Presented in a fun and student-friendly format, students will create an invention, whether real or not, will discuss the need for the invention and then create an advertisement to hook buyers. It is intended to take five days, with clear expectations for each day, as each lesson scaffolds on the next. Students will love applying their learned concepts of supply and demand, needs and wants, and helping people make their lives easier through their inventions. One of our favorites :)

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!

Facilitate students exploration of animal adaptations by having them apply their understanding to local animals. This worksheet guides students to generate a list of animals that are local, identify two of them and specify what are the animals’ needs and then their adaptations to meet those needs. This student-centered independent activity can be a great extension, review, or opener for animal adaptations!

For sale is a very simple 4 question multiple choice exit tickets for the water cycle. Students will need to match the definitions with the vocabulary words: evaporation, condensation, transpiration and precipitation. These assessments are printed three two a page and an answer key has been included for your convenience.

Check out this 5-question multiple choice assessment that covers simple machines. This can easily be used as a quiz, test, exit ticket, or independent work. 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.

This fun and engaging project, clearly lays out the expectations for a simple interactive creation project in which students make a model of the basic human skeleton. Students are expected to include the major seven bones that outline our bodies, as well as include clear labels and answer a few simple questions. There is a rubric at the bottom, with pre-made scoring outlines to simplify assigning a fair and appropriate grade. The students will have a blast with this project, and they will deepen their understandings of the human skeleton!

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!

Engage your students in the natural world around them with this fun and engaging activity. Students will identify and "adopt" a tree in which they will fill out an adoption certificate. Students will fill out some basic information about the tree and then can take care of, observe and track the tree throughout the year. It is incredible how excited students will get about thei tree, protective, worried, and attached as well! This is a great way to help students understand and be aware of nature, tree life cycles, symbiosis and more! Directions are invcluded as well as the certificate template!

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!

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 :)
