Students fill out a chart with information about the layers of the atmosphere, and then they are able to create their own "Shrinky Dink" using shrink plastic (plastic not included). They can either trace the diagram on the left side of the page, or they can draw it from scratch! After they draw it with colored pencils or fine point permanent marker, they can put it in the oven and watch it shrink! (I use a toaster oven in my classroom and do them one at a time, as the kids finish. They love watching them shrink! Shrink plastic best price I have found: School Specialty this Grafix brand: https://store.schoolspecialty.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?minisite=10206&item=3185038 I cut the shrink plastic into 1/4's and it works out great!

Colorful bulletin board that says "Keep Calm and Do Science" in periodic squares! Each square has the chemical symbol, etc. as well as a picture representing a product that can be made from the element.

Students solve speed problems, interpret graphs, put together puzzles and open different boxes to get more clues. Don't have boxes? That's ok! Create your own escape room experience with envelopes or pencil boxes. Have students decipher and answer questions about velocity, speed, and acceleration. Students demonstrate their science knowledge AND have a blast! Setup for 7 different groups, seven different codes. You can adapt it to fit an envelope system OR a 3 digit resettable lock. I bought mine (not resettable) at Dollar Tree, combos are on the outside of the package, so that is an option too! Use this as inspiration for even more Escape Room Lessons! INCLUDES: Hide code 1 somewhere in the room...or have a system for them to get envelope 2 7 different speed problem sets for box/envelope 2's code 7 different Ciphers and questions/problems (if you use the invisible ink) 7 different graph problems to get box/envelope 3's code Directions for incorporating dollar tree puzzles into the mix. TWO DIFFERENT (1 min or 2 min) Speed Bump Cards (color-coded) for each group. (So fun to throw a team out for a minute or two--also color-coded) Hint Tickets/Cards for all 3 boxes, color-coded so you can keep track of whom you have given hints to Need an editable version to customize it to your locks? Go ahead and email me at shancrafty@gmail.com to make arrangements after purchase.

Short practice sheet that includes identifying crests and troughs, measuring wavelength, wave height and amplitude and comparing two different waves in terms of amplitude and frequency. Answer key included.

Cut, paste, fold and draw in order to create two different pages for an Interactive Science Notebook. Page 1 includes Natural Resources vs. Manmade Resources and "Where would you find?" different types of resources. Page 2 includes a pair of envelopes, one that is for items that come from animals and the other for items that come from plants. Students cut out the names of different resources and place them in either the plant or animal envelope. It also includes another flower foldable that identifies 6 different energy sources and identifies them as renewable or nonrenewable. See thumbnails to see a set of finished pages as well as the original reproducibles.

Students answer four vocabulary completion questions and then analyze scenarios to calculate net force, determine the direction the box is moving, and whether it is a balanced or unbalanced force. 20 questions, answer key provided.

27 cards to sort into categories-does the picture reprsesent kinetic energy, potential energy, or are both represented?

Students create THREE examples of energy conversions. On the front cover they define Law of Conservation of Energy and Energy Conversion. Two completed examples are included. Illustrate and describe your energy conversion! Rubric included!

Use a cube to determine your destiny! Create WANTED! Posters for potential and kinetic energy, Includes the potential or kinetic card sort, the wanted poster templates, a Venn diagram template, directions for other activities. Differentiate by product, quantity, etc.

92 Physical Science key terms for your science word wall! Each term has a picture clue to help students visualize and make connections.

Students use these 12 templates to create a Bloom Ball about Astronomy! This follows the Georgia Performance Standard S6E1. Students will look at geocentric and heliocentric views of the universe, the big bang theory, inner and outer planets, galaxies and our position in the milky way, asteroids/comets/meteoroids, and the moon.

This is an energy conversions/heat transfer test modified for my ESOL students (more specifically I used it with my IEL students). It is modified to have fewer words, a thinking map with pre-filled in boxes, different word banks and pictures. Included is an answer key.

Students play an exciting game of I Have/Who Has? with terms related to the water cycle and fresh water. 24 question cards

Students interpret weather data, answer questions about climate and weather, and open boxes to get more clues. Don't have boxes? That's ok! Create your own escape room experience with envelopes or pencil boxes. Have students decipher and answer riddles about weather. Students demonstrate their meteorology knowledge AND have a blast! Setup for 6 different groups, six different codes. You can adapt it to fit an envelope system OR a 3 digit resettable lock and master locks. I bought mine (not resettable) at Dollar Tree, combos are on the outside of the package, so that is an option too! Use this as inspiration for even more Escape Room Lessons! INCLUDES: 6 different sets of general climate/weather question sets to open box 2 6 different sets of weather analysis questions to open box 3 6 encrypted riddles that students decipher and answer to get the ticket for the next code 6 tickets to give students the code for the last locks TWO DIFFERENT (1 min or 2 min) Speed Bump Cards (color-coded) for each group. (So fun to throw a team out for a minute or two--also color-coded) Hint Tickets/Cards for all 3 boxes, color-coded so you can keep track of whom you have given hints to Need an editable version to customize it to your locks?

Quick lab in which students set up layers of sediment, mix them up, add water and then shake. The top is cut off and the sediment is allowed to dry out, and students examine the layers/results.

Students complete a 20 meter run and use the data to calculate their velocity and then they calculate their acceleration. Students use the data to graph their results. Great lab--only requires a stopwatch (or digital timer), graph paper, a meter stick to measure out your "track," and tape to mark the 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 meter marks.

This is a great resource for students to glue into their interactive science notebooks. Page one includes a brief reading with information introducing students to the concepts of potential and kinetic energy. Students then define key terms, answer questions and interpret diagrams. The resource gets glued into their notebooks as an excellent study guide. Great for teachers who do not have textbook sets to send home with their students!

Create a foldable that allows students to take notes on the parts of waves. On the front cover label the parts, lift the flap and take notes! Product includes a cover page, blank template for students, labeled template and answer key. Also, you can increase the depth for high school or decrease for elementary!

One page per standard. Answer key is coming, but not yet ready. Will be added upon completion. Have your students review and create a great study guide that addresses each standard! Print it double sided to make a booklet, pages are intentionally flipped. Answer key is in full page sheets so that you can have students go around and self-correct or fill in as a carousel activity.
