New Products: Bundles, Background Stations, and Lesson Plans

I have had fun making note sheets and decided to build stations to provide the background information necessary to complete the note sheets.



The atoms background stations provide a kinesthetic way for students to gain a brief background on the structure of atoms (protons, neutrons, electrons, valence electrons, nucleus, and orbits), types of bonds (ionic and covalent), atomic mass, atomic numbers, the periodic table of elements, types of molecules (compounds and elements). 12 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. (Stations, teacher’s guide, and student worksheet are secured PDFs.)

This note sheet is a single secured PDF that includes a black-and-white and a color version with an answer key for teachers.



The ecology background stations provide a kinesthetic way for students to gain a brief background on the energy flow in ecosystems (trophic pyramid, food web, and food chain), biome definition, levels of organization (ecosystem, community, population, and organism), abiotic versus biotic factors, carrying capacity, limiting factors, and symbiotic relationships (mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism). 12 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. (Stations, teacher’s guide, and student worksheet are secured PDFs.)

This note sheet is a single secured PDF that includes a black-and-white and a color version with a separate answer key for teachers.


I built lesson plans around the atomic structure activity I had created. The lesson plans are over five days and provide a couple opportunities for students to create models. In it, I have a recycling activity in time for Earth Day.

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.
