Electromagnet Waves and their Applications Unit

This is a foldable that covers the vocabulary associated with the part of an atom. Perfect for use in interactive notebooks. Is formatted to fit a standard composition notebook.

Recording sheets for your students to use while they are using microscopes to make observations. One set of sheets has spaces for your students to draw a picture that they see with the microscope. This is available with and without directions (Preview pages 1 and 2) The other set of sheets has space for your students to draw what the specimen looks like with just their eyes and using the microscope to compare the differences.

As time moves on, many great Americans who have shaped the arts, sciences, sports, and history of our nation and culture get lost in time. The Great Americans Series of Biographies and Worksheets is an easy-to-read 200-word biography of just the highlights of each subject's life designed to keep young readers engaged. The questions worksheet ensures student reading comprehension and grasp of key points. The vocabulary page introduces and explains new words, phrases, and/or institutions students may not have been familiar with. The Quotes page challenges students to write what the quote means to them. The Great Americans Series is available individually or in bundles, making great bell work. An Answer Key is provided with each worksheet.

Need something with no prep work, educational and get the students brains thinking? Easy print and go review basic scientific knowledge including some of the scientific method steps! This can be used individually or with a partner - it reviews basic knowledge of science. This would be from the first chapter or two of any science textbook. It has the crossword and an answer key - enjoy!

Need an activity that is engaging, hands on, requires critical thinking and peer collaboration? THIS IS IT! This is a great lab that utilizes all of these and would be great for an observation! This lab will walk through the scientific method steps, research and analyze the properties of water and other liquids. Students can see how the molecules of each liquid will react with substances. Once the experiment is completed and the students have their results, they collaborate with two other groups and record their results to compare. This eliminates having to do the experiment more than once, although I do emphasize that in an experiment, results need to be able to be repeated for it to be considered proven.

This can be used as an introductory lab for water properties for older students.

Hands on crosscutting concept of patterns:

Before our study of electromagnetic waves, I use this activity to remind students how to find patterns where there are not obvious repeating patterns. This skills is important across all levels of science.

Students are given three sets of items which they then observe. Through observation, students will classify their data. Once this data is classified with a chart students will evaluate patterns through the data.

A quick full class activity is completed before beginning this group activity. This models for the students the approach to finding and evaluating these patterns.

This activity aligns with Indiana Science Standard MS-PS4-1, CC.1.

What's included:

• Teacher instructions.
• Example worksheet.
• Activity worksheets (three versions).
• Pictures of example.

How is this activity useful:

• Helps introduce or practice a tricky concept.
• Simple set up.
• Hands on, group activity keeps students engaged.
• Students like finding unusual connections.
