Layers of the Atmosphere Shrinky Dink (Shrink Plastic Not Included)

(0)
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!

Velocity, Speed and Acceleration ESCAPE ROOM/BREAKOUT LESSON

(0)
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.
Law of Conservation of Mass with LEGOS! (Lab Activity)
sventrescasventresca

Law of Conservation of Mass with LEGOS! (Lab Activity)

(0)
A great lab for demonstrating the law of conservation of matter. Students use Lego blocks (or you can substitute gummy bears or some other manipulative) to build chemical equations. Students take the mass of the parts of the equations and then see how the mass is unchanged in the reactants and products. This version has two versions: one with pre-filled colors, and the other with the colors left blank so you can adapt it to fit with the Legos you already have. The second part of the lab includes alka-seltzer, water and ziploc baggies. Students see how mass is unchanged in a closed system.

The questions focus on the topic of psychology, looking at the different issues presented in the film, strategies Dory's parents use with her, and emotional connections/reactions to the film. Two pages for worksheet (one page front and back), two pages for answer key. Great for an intro to psych class. Questions can be answered simply or elaborately, and would work even with adults taking educational psychology.

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.
