Halloween Bingo:

Looking for a touch of Halloween fun without sacrificing learning time? I hear you! Halloween Science Bingo is just the ticket! Made for middle and high school students, it combines relevant science facts directly related to Halloween. It’s a print-and-go game, no setup involved. Perfect for class parties, incentives or just some fun!

What's Included:

• 30 Unique Bingo Cards
• 1 Teacher Calling Card with prompts and answers

Pumpkin Pendulums Force and Motion:

This Halloween science experiment is a fun physical science or physics lab with a fun fall, pumpkin twist! Use candy pumpkins as weights on pendulums to investigate the variables that affect a pendulum's frequency. This lab is very low prep and uses easy-to-find materials. Students love it and it is a Halloween science activity that includes REAL science, not just fun!

Five Pumpkin Pendulum Activities:

• Activity 1: Does the height from which a pendulum drops affect its frequency?
• Activity 2: Does the weight of a pendulum’s bob affect its frequency?
• Activity 3: Does the length of a pendulum’s string affect its frequency?
• Activity 4: How does energy transfer between coupled pendulums?
• Activity 5: How does energy transfer between two pendulums that wind around each other?

Fun Forensics Blood Spatter Activity:

Are you looking for a fun and engaging science activity for Halloween? Introduce your students to blood spatter analysis in forensics and how investigators use blood droplets in forensics to solve crimes. You will definitely want to add this not-so-scary, hands-on experiment to your list of mock crime scene investigations (CSI) activities.

Your upper elementary or middle school students will love this mock crime scene classroom activity! This activity was designed for my homeschool co-op, but it can be used without any traditional classroom without modifications. This is a great alternative to graphic or scary CSI activities. This lab is easy to set up with common materials you can easily find at your local grocery store. Tested and approved by my students - this is a FUN activity that your students will love!

Here is the scenario:

Max, the Johnson's dog, frequently escaped to explore the haunted history of Hollow Street and returned with eerie souvenirs. One evening, their daughter Ana discovered a blood-streaked newspaper Max brought, causing panic until her brother Carter confessed it was a fake mix for his Halloween prop. Inspired, Ana used the newspaper as a prop for a ghostly tale for her drama club's performance.

What will students do?

• Learn the basic principles of blood spatter analysis in forensic science
• Develop and articulate predictions
• Conduct controlled experiments, adjusting variables like angle and height to determine their effects on blood spatter patterns
• Accurately measure blood spatter dimensions, analyze their data, and draw conclusions based on their findings
• Demonstrate the ability to represent their experimental results visually using graphs, ensuring they select appropriate graph types, axes, and scales for their data
• Interpret their experimental findings, comparing their results to initial hypotheses and drawing logical conclusions based on evidence
• Creatively apply their understanding of blood spatter analysis to construct a fictional narrative, showcasing their ability to use scientific information in an imaginative context.

4 Activities Included:

• Activity 1: Blood Spatter Patterns - Students will drop fake blood from various heights and angles to create different sizes and shapes of blood droplets
• Activity 2: Blood Spatter Data Collection - Students will measure the length and width of blood spatters in a table
• Activity 3: Blood Spatter Data Analysis - Students will use data that was collected to construct two line graphs, showing the relationships between angle, height and size of blood droplets
• Activity 4: Constructing Mock Crime Evidence and Stories - Students will create mock evidence using fake blood droplets and blood spatter patterns. Then, they will create a story to go with their evidence and present it to their class.

Halloween Candy Hexagonal Thinking Activity

This is a great way to use Halloween Candy for a fun and attractive nutrition comparison. Perfect for Halloween, the day after trick-or-treat, or anytime! This activity provides students an opportunity to explore the nutritional content of popular Halloween candies. This is a fresh take on research projects that allows students to make connections and collaborate with peers. The matrix created through the collaboration part of this project is perfect for Bulletin Boards. Also....teachers find this to be a very engaging Sub Plan for science classes.

Product Highlights:

• Hexagonal Worksheet Templates: Students use the nutritional facts of their assigned candy to fill in sections of the hexagon.
• Collaborative Exploration: tudents can work together to compare the nutritional content of various candies and arrange their hexagons accordingly.
• Versatile Use: Perfect for classroom activities, bulletin board displays, substitute plans, and even extra credit opportunities.
• Nutritional Fact Sheets and Photos: 30 information sheets about various candies are provided, along with a photo of the candy. The candy image fits perfectly in the center of the hexagon.

Nocturnal Animals Hexagonal Thinking:

Discover amazing nocturnal animal adaptations with this engaging and collaborative hexagonal thinking activity! Take a deeper look into the distribution, habitat, niche, diet, behavior, adaptations and challenges faced by nocturnal and crepuscular animals. This is a fresh take on research projects that allows students to make connections and collaborate with peers. The matrix created through the collaboration part of this project is perfect for Bulletin Boards. Also....teachers find this to be a very engaging Sub Plan for science classes.
