New Products: Earth Science, Ecology, and Atoms

ESS2-6 Coriolis Effect Activity
In this Coriolis Effect activity, students go through three stations to simulate the impact of uneven heating and the Earth's rotation. They create a map to synthesize their learning. At the end, students complete a claim-evidence-reasoning over ocean currents. (Included in the ESS2 Bundle)

Ecology and Biome Note Sheet
The cell parts note sheet has key terms for a unit on ecology. Topics include levels of organization in an ecosystem, abiotic versus biotic factors, representations of energy flow (trophic pyramid, food web, and food chain), and biomes. Pair this with your favorite reading, presentation, or video for students to summarize the key terms and concepts. (Background information is not included.)

Who Am I? Ecology and Biome Vocabulary Review Game

The classic "Who Am I?" game has 28 cards that cover common terms in ecology and biomes (see list below). Simply print the secured PDF with cards and instructions and play! (Definitions are not included and the game assumes students have learned the terms already.)

The following vocabulary terms are included:

⚪Biome

⚪Organism

⚪Population

⚪Community

⚪Abiotic

⚪Biotic

⚪Mutualism

⚪Parasitism

⚪Commensalism

⚪Competition

⚪Predator/prey

⚪Limoting factors

⚪Tundra

⚪Rainforest

⚪Temperate forest

⚪Temperate grassland

⚪Savanna

⚪Desert

⚪Food chain

⚪Food web

⚪Carrying capacity

⚪Autotroph

⚪Trophic pyramid

⚪Heterotrop

⚪Herbivore

⚪Carnivore

⚪Omnivore

⚪Detritivore

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 (clickable links embedded in the PDF for the stations). 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.

New Ecology Products

  I have two new ecology that I posted last month! https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/MS-LS2-Ecology-Unit-Lesson-Plans-12001210 This MS-LS 2 ecology package is all the lesson plans for ecosystems and populations at a discounted rate! The bundle includes a student packet ready for printing (color and black-and-white), answer keys, teacher printouts for activities, lesson assessments, unit assessments, phenomena, labs, materials lists, extended projects, and more! The topics covered (click for individual lesson plans): Resource Availability & Carrying Capacity Symbiotic Relationships: Competition, Predator/Prey, Mutualism Cycling Matter & Energy Abiotic and Biotic Influences Conservation and Methods to Maintain Biodiversity The lesson plans for approximately 32 days are detailed and could be copy and pasted to share with your administration. ***Most lessons can easily be adapted to distance learning and homeschooling. Standards/Objectives: ✅NGSS: MS-LS2-1, MS-LS2-2, ...

New Products: Atoms and Bundles

 I worked on creating new bundle s   and here is where you can find them: Birthday I and Online Birthday Escape Puzzle Room Birthday II and Online Birthday Escape Puzzle Room All three Birthday Escape Puzzle Rooms Build You Own (pictured above)- You can choose items from my store to bundle together NGSS MS-PS1 Activities on Atoms and Matter Since I have the NGSS MS-PS1 Bundle, that means standards 5 and 6 are done! See more information about them below. MS-PS1-5:  Conservation of Matter Chemical Reaction Model 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. MS-PS1-6: Thermal Energy and Deicing Project In this project on thermal energy and chemicals, students choose an effecti...

Metric System Lesson Plans

Start off the school year right! These lesson plans include answers, handouts to help convert the metric system, practice problems, and a student-choice project. The project at the end has suggestions for differentiation, and all students create some product to demonstrate they understand unit conversions. Click the link above to see the new product. This product includes the following activities: ⚪Pennies, Dimes & Dollars ⚪Metric System Problems ⚪Conversion Practice Project   https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Metric-System-Lesson-Plans-11856800 I have bundled it as well with my Density and Water Lab so you can save 30%.
