New Products: Atoms and Bundles

 I worked on creating new bundles and here is where you can find them:

Since I have the NGSS MS-PS1 Bundle, that means standards 5 and 6 are done! See more information about them below.


Students create a model of a chemical reaction to show how atoms are conserved. This activity assumes students already are familiar with atoms, and it would pair best with a mini lesson on the Law of Conservation of Matter. The lesson starts off with a brief demonstration and a kinesthetic activity to show how matter is not created or destroyed.



In this project on thermal energy and chemicals, students choose an effective deicer for a fictitious city. They create a control beaker and two test combinations of salt. After recording the results, students redesign their deicer and complete a CER based on their recommendations for the city.

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.

Biomes Foldable

I had way too much fun making this.  My students are going to be learning about these biomes next and I created this example of the finished product and one with the pictures/words without the cuts.  I photocopied the sheet and shrunk it to 75%.  The students will cut it out, fold down the extra space on the left side, and glue it in their notebooks.  Underneath each tab, they will write characteristics of the biomes. I am clearly on a foldable kick!  Thank you snow days. :) I did create a digital version of this for you to download on my Teacher Pay Teachers. It's free!

Rubric Maker

I am a huge fan of project-based learning! As a result, I create lots of rubrics. Sometimes I write them myself and other times, I like to find premade ones to help me clarify the assessment piece. A co-worker in Colorado introduced me to Rubistar  years back. It's free and pretty user-friendly. They have several premade categories and criteria, but you can alter them to fit your needs. The website is old, but don't let that throw you off.
