Looking for a end of the year self-paced lesson for students to work on during those weird schedule days after testing? This lesson uses critical and creative thinking to create a story about surviving on a deserted island using what they have learned in science! It includes....

• All directions for students and teachers
• Google slides to go through with students
• Chance cards to print out
• Pacing guide
• Teacher and student tips
• Student packet with all the information they need
• Rubric for student AND teacher

This project is great for the end of the year. That weird time between end of course tests and the school year end is challenging. The project is mostly self-paced and great for those days that you only see some classes throughout the day.

Minimum materials are needed!

• 11x7 paper
• lined
• paper
• the packet
• yarn

Student will make a map, complete a packet, and write some journal entries on how they would survive if they were stranded on a deserted island.

Tennessee State Standards

• 6.PS3.1 - Analyze the properties and compare the sources of kinetic, elastic potential, gravitational potential, electric potential, chemical, and thermal energy.
• 6.LS2.4 - Using evidence from climate data, draw conclusions about the patterns of abiotic and biotic factors in different biomes, specifically the tundra, taiga, deciduous forest, desert, grasslands, rainforest, marine, and freshwater ecosystems
• 6.ESS2.5 - Analyze and interpret data from weather conditions, weather maps, satellites, and radar to predict probable local weather patterns and conditions.
• 6.ESS3.2 - Investigate and compare existing and developing technologies that will utilize renewable and alternative energy sources.

NGSS - Middle School

• MS-LS2-1: Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem
• MS-PS1-4: Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed.
• MS-ESS2-5: Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions.

2 "mini" labs that will help students observe and make connections to compounds and mixtures. The first introduces students to the concept of mixtures. The second shows the concept that not all liquids act alike so conclusions can be drawn about how materials interact when put together.

These short activities reinforce or introduce concepts to students. I call these activities “mini labs” because they are simple activities that do not take the whole class period. They are also activities that are safe for use in the classroom and do not have to be done in a lab or with any specialty equipment or materials. I often use these demonstrations to lead into new content, that way as we cover material I can refer back to the things that my students have experienced first hand.

Introduce your students to the thrilling no prep Soils, Rocks and Landforms Scavenger Hunt! This engaging and interactive activity puts students in the shoes of a geologist mining in a city in Arkansas that is rumored to be full of rare gems that would make the finder rich!

Each student, or group of students, will receive 10 reading task cards related to soil, weathering (chemical and physical), erosion, deposition, fossils, types of landforms and how they are created. The task is not only to read the cards but to solve 10 questions—the catch is that the answer to each question is found on a different card, encouraging students to read all the information thoroughly.

How It Works:

• Students will need to determine the code word for each card by answering the fill-in-the-blank questions.
• Once all the code words have been found, students must unscramble the letters from each code word to discover the final mystery word.
• In addition, they will collect clues to uncover a 4-digit code, which will help them successfully complete their journey.

Failing to unscramble the mystery word or crack the 4-digit code will result in the having failed to find any precious gems. However, completing the mission means students will become a legendary gem hunter and have mined enough gems to become rich!

What Makes This Activity Perfect for Your Classroom:

• Engaging and Educational: Your students will be excited to play the role of a geologist solving the clues to find the hidden gems within the dig site.
• Critical Thinking Skills: By having to cross-reference information from multiple task cards, students practice comprehension, critical thinking, and attention to detail.
• No-Prep Needed: Simply print the task cards and hand them out to your students! It’s ready to go with minimal prep.
• Flexible Usage: This scavenger hunt can be used independently, as a group activity, or even as a fast-finisher task. It works perfectly as a history lesson, or as a fun, educational activity!

Ideal for Different Learning Styles

Whether done individually or in groups, this scavenger hunt provides the perfect opportunity for students to collaborate and share ideas as they solve the puzzles. If students are working independently, it gives them a chance to practice self-paced learning while still engaging with the science background on soils, rocks and landforms.

Perfect for History Lessons or Fun Themed Activities This activity fits seamlessly into your classroom’s history curriculum. It’s a perfect way to introduce and reinforce learning about soil, weathering (chemical and physical), erosion, deposition, fossils, types of landforms and how they are created.

This Soils, Rocks and Landforms Scavenger Hunt is not only a fun, no-prep classroom activity, but it also ensures that students gain a deeper understanding of science while developing important reading and comprehension skills. Bring the excitement of the search for the rare gems into your classroom with this adventure-packed scavenger hunt.

About Me:

I got my start educating in zoos and aquariums. I went to art school and graduated with a degree in graphic design, then joined the aquarium's design team where I worked until I had my two sons. I continue to design while raising my family and feel so lucky to be in a profession I enjoy, combining my two passions - design and science education.
