New Products: Cells and Mountains

Maybe this is one of the few times you will see cells and mountains associated. Either way, I have put out products on both.

Cells
  1. Who Am I? Cells Vocabulary Review Game
  2. All About Cells Lesson Plans and Review Games Bundle
  3. MS-LS1-1 Characteristics of Life Forensic Activity
  4. MS-LS1-2 Cells: Structure and Function Activities
  5. MS-LS1-3 Body System and Disease Project
  6. MS-LS1-4 Plant and Their Pollinators Activity for Adaptations
  7. MS-LS1-5 Plant Growth Factors Experiment (Acquired Traits)
  8. MS-LS1-6 Photosynthesis in Freshwater Plant Lab

Mountains and Earth Science

Students will look at three pieces of information on their mountain range (Himalayas, Rocky Mountains, and Andes) to try to guess the age of the mountains. Background information on Pangea and more recent plate movements is provided. Next, students sketch the location of their mountain range. Finally, students examine evidence and interpret its meaning. The evidence includes isotopes, fossils, moraines, and pole reversals.

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.
