Position Activity

Here is a simple idea for students to practice accurate measurement and position with a reference point:

Front of the room is positive motion and back of the room is negative motion

Materials:

Meter stick, cup, masking tape, coffee can, book, bell, rock

Procedure:

Have students create a table with object versus position in centimeters. A piece of masking tape will be their reference point.
Students will work with partner to complete the table by making accurate measurements which will include the correct sign.

Object	Distance (cm)
Cup	70
Book	-200
Coffee can	-150
Bell	-75
Rock	125

Freebie Focus: All About Me Science Beaker

I hunted for new and free resources and found this get-to-know-me activity. It is a beaker for students to complete on themselves and can be found here . The creator, The Crafty Teacher TX , permitted me to share this resource. It is appropriate for a middle school classroom and has questions that are great ice-breakers, like if you were on a deserted island, what three things would you need? This could be assigned on the first day of school or completed in class and posted on the walls.

Nitrogen and Carbon Cycle Foldable

I was inspired to create foldables for my 6th graders on the carbon and nitrogen cycles after viewing one created by the blog " The Inspired Classroom ". She had created a much cuter one for the water cycle. Please forgive my pictures, descriptions, and handwriting. :) If you would like a free copy of the nitrogen foldable or carbon foldable , you can find it at My Teachers Pay Teachers.
