A lesson where 3rd graders learn to differentiate between waxing and waning moon phases through a rhythmic song, a hands-on flipbook activity, and choral recitation.
A highly visual, adapted science unit for 3rd and 4th graders exploring the properties of matter, the physical nature of air, states of matter, and thermal changes. It features errorless sorting activities, heavy visual supports, simplified vocabulary, and structured lab guides designed for diverse learners.
A foundational lesson introducing the key practices of scientists, including observation, recording, questioning, safety, tools, and experimentation.
A high-quality, beautifully illustrated labeling worksheet for students to identify and connect key scientific practices: observes, records, questions, safe, tools, and experiments. Includes a central cartoon scientist illustration card surrounded by interactive labeling lines, icons, and a rewritten 'draw or write' reflection prompt at the bottom.
A highly visual 4-day science unit exploring ocean habitats and depth zones. Tailored for differentiated instruction for 3rd grade and nonverbal 7th grade students using Boardmaker-style symbols, color-coded matching, and visual check comprehension.
A hands-on, inquiry-based science lesson exploring the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Students investigate shape, volume, and compressibility, and classify tricky everyday substances like sand, slime, and steam.
A single-page, visually engaging printable student reference sheet designed for science notebooks. Focuses heavily on the Core Variables (Independent, Dependent, and Controlled) and the fundamentals of designing a Fair Test, utilizing a polished 'Research Blueprint' layout theme.
A comprehensive elementary/middle school astronomy unit exploring the predictable patterns of Earth and sky. Students investigate why constellations change seasonally and decode the predictable cycle of lunar phases through hands-on models, observations, and guided inquiry.
A engaging, kid-friendly lesson about the science of snot, mucus, and how the human body keeps itself safe from germs. Students will read an informational passage, annotate key details, and analyze a simplified nose diagram.
A 1-page quick formative assessment exit ticket styled as a 'Case Closed' file. Students use their knowledge of particle behaviors, shape, volume, and compressibility to classify a new mystery substance and explain particle differences.
A hands-on, inquiry-based elementary science unit investigating the secrets of photosynthesis. Students act as 'Plant Power Detectives' conducting wet labs, including leaf chromatography and Elodea oxygen bubble experiments, to discover how plants capture light, make food, and produce oxygen.
An interactive third-grade science lesson introducing basic, water-related, and desert landforms. Students act as Earth Explorers, analyzing how natural forces sculpt our planet's surface through a visually rich presentation, hands-on journaling, and cooperative challenges.
A 2-page hands-on student lab worksheet themed as a 'Matter Detective Case File'. Page 1 features a clear inquiry table to record shape, volume, and compressibility testing. Page 2 guides student investigations into tricky everyday substances (sand, slime, steam) with blank writing spaces.
