Genetics, Protein Synthesis, Punnett Square, Phenotype Data--it's all in here. Use actual locks and boxes, OR use this fun lesson with a simple envelope system! Enough problems for 7 groups of students, or more if you use the problems in duplicate. I actually made different codes and problems for each group. With locks: utilizes 2 3-digit locks, one MasterLock combination lock, and one Key lock. Four boxes, some paper, and a lot of fun!!
I got the locks at Dollar Tree, and the boxes are inexpensive unfinished wooden boxes. Your students will love it and want more.
INCLUDES:
7 different transcription/translation problem sets for box/envelope 1
7 different Punnett Square Sets for box/envelope 2
7 different Ciphers and graph problems for box/envelope 3
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.

This is a bundle of all three of my Finding Dory worksheets. 12 pages total.
Each worksheet is one page, double-sided. Each answer key is one page, double sided.
Includes: The Science of Finding Dory (25 questions)
Environmental Science in Finding Dory (13 questions)
The Psychology of Finding Dory (13 questions)
Each guide has its own answer key. Each addresses slightly different topics, but some questions do overlap.
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.
185 Earth Science terms-Great for your science word wall! Each word has a picture clue to help students connect with and visualize the meaning of the word.
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.
129 key vocabulary terms from The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly. What a great novel to read in Science class, OR in Language Arts class! Follow the determined Callie Vee as she denounces the boundaries defined for girls in 1899 Texas. She wants to be a scientist, seeks out to discover a new species, and reads Darwin's work.
A must-read! Each word has a definition AND a picture clue.
Bundle of three popular I Have/Who has games! Each game has 24 cards. Students play and try to beat their time as a class! Games are also available separately, but buy a bundle and save!

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

Great little resource, one-page booklet that covers the following topics:
~Layers of the Earth (and compare them in terms of temperature, thickness, density, and composition)
~Tectonic Plates
~ Plate Boundaries
~Continental Drift Theory
Made of thinking maps, with word bank included. Answer key attached as well.
This is a set of periodic table squares so you can create a bulletin board spelling out words, phrases or even your name! All of the letters are represented in this document, including J and Q...but of course they don't have Just print out the pages you need and voila! Easy, clever bulletin board. Print in color or gray scale.
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.
