Pass the Blood Cell

I found this awesome activity here and modified it for my classroom. It is one of my favorite ways to review because it requires so little to prepare and one material while engaging the whole class.

I change the rules a little to allow the person who starts with, in my case a red blood cell, to choose what direction they want to pass it around the circle. Since I teach middle school, I make it a little more competitive by having the person up sit down if they don't answer the question in time. We play until there are only two left! (To engage those sitting down, I ask them to come up with review questions by looking through their books, notes, and study guides.)

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.

New Product: Physical and Chemical Changes Background Digital and Print Stations

I have been busy updating my products and combing through for improvements. I did manage to create this one! Physical and Chemical Changes Background Digital and Print Stations The physical and chemical changes background stations provide a kinesthetic way for students to gain a brief background on the physical changes, chemical changes, chemical reactions, evidence of changes (density, solubility, flammability, melting point, boiling point, states of matter, and odor). 10 stations can be printed for the classroom or shared digitally with students. Each station includes a check for understanding questions to lead to the next station. A student worksheet has a spot to record the station answers. The teacher's guide has the answer key and the order of the stations.
