 I found this note sheet   from Scientific Notation , another new and impressive store. They created a note sheet on chemical formulas and notation for compounds. What I love: Spots for students to doodle Eye-appealing Answer key included Easy to follow Needless to say, I cannot wait to see what other materials they create as their store grows.

This free resource comes from a new content creator titled We Teach Stuff . It's a single note sheet on biomolecules and contains three columns for the student to fill in. We Teach Stuff has students draw a picture, write the function, and list examples. What I like about it: simple layout answer keys included- one handwritten and one typed includes lines for students to write their notes neatly You can find the Molecules of Life Note Sheet here .

 I was in a classroom that the teacher utilized emotional education in her classroom. The students were not excited to see a guest teacher, which was my first tip that they loved her. Not only was her room cozy, but she was well prepared for me to teach. One big takeaway, her note sheet for me to complete. There was only space for "positive comments".
