GREAT FOR BACK TO SCHOOL! This activity is great for the first day of school in science classrooms. It gives the teacher a chance to get to know the students, the students a chance to get to know each other, and some decor for your classroom! But because it's EDITABLE, you can really use it anytime of year! Students are given a science lab coat with some basic questions/info inside (you provide the topics or questions or use the examples I provided). Students decorate the outside of their lab coat based on some provided directions. Then they cut and fold to create the lab coat seen in the "Preview" above. Simply hang some string in your classroom (or hallway) and have students attach their completed Science Lab Coat using a tiny clothespin. Included in this product: Printouts for the lab coat (2 lab coat options) Teacher directions Ideas for extension A PowerPoint with student directions (text boxes are editable so that you can customize it for your needs) Students will need: Colored pencils scissors © Science Teaching Junkie, Inc.

Observe and Infer - Picture of the Week

(0)
All young scientists need to practice making careful observations and evidence-based inferences. With this product, you will get a complete year of Picture of the Week activities for students to strengthen these skills. Students are shown an image and spend time making careful observations. After this, they make inferences based on these observations. This would be a great warm-up exercise or a great addition to your weekly classroom routine. You will begin to see your students become more careful observers and you will hear them correcting their classmates when they are including biases or previous experiences in their observations. Students will begin supporting all of their thoughts with evidence (the mark of a great scientist!) Detailed teacher instructions on best ways to implement this into your weekly routine are included as well as some teaching tips. You will also receive all of the student print-outs for the 38 weeks and slides for projecting the Picture of the Week for 38 weeks in both PDF and PowerPoint formats. This product will not only make your students better scientists, but better writers, readers, and speakers. The language arts teachers will love you!

Daily Science Starter TEKS Included: 6.12 Organisms and environments. The student knows all organisms are classified into Domains and Kingdoms. Organisms within these taxonomic groups share similar characteristics which allow them to interact with the living and nonliving parts of their ecosystem. The student is expected to: (A) understand that all organisms are composed of one or more cells; (B) recognize that the presence of a nucleus determines whether a cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic; (C) recognize that the broadest taxonomic classification of living organisms is divided into currently recognized Domains; (D) identify the basic characteristics of organisms, including prokaryotic or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, autotrophic or heterotrophic, and mode of reproduction, that further classify them in the currently recognized Kingdoms; (E) describe biotic and abiotic parts of an ecosystem in which organisms interact; and (F) diagram the levels of organization within an ecosystem, including organism, population, community, and ecosystem. 7.10 Organisms and environments. The student knows that there is a relationship between organisms and the environment. The student is expected to: (A) observe and describe how different environments, including microhabitats in schoolyards and biomes, support different varieties of organisms; (B) describe how biodiversity contributes to the sustainability of an ecosystem; and (C) observe, record, and describe the role of ecological succession such as in a microhabitat of a garden with weeds. 7.11 Organisms and environments. The student knows that populations and species demonstrate variation and inherit many of their unique traits through gradual processes over many generations. The student is expected to: (A) examine organisms or their structures such as insects or leaves and use dichotomous keys for identification; (B) explain variation within a population or species by comparing external features, behaviors, or physiology of organisms that enhance their survival such as migration, hibernation, or storage of food in a bulb; and etc.......
