Sometimes the most difficult part of teaching is the unplanned absence when you have no idea who your substitute teacher will be. The truth is not every substitute teacher can enter your classroom and immediately teach your lesson. So give your class a day-off from the normal routine but keep things educational at the same time.

This purchase will provide a fun alternative from the standard sub plans in either science, STEM, or history classrooms. This collection of assignments will cover two-three class periods (3 hours) with a combination of articles, timelines, vocabulary puzzles, and webquest. This emergency lesson plan focuses on the science and STEM topic of SIMPLE MACHINES AND MACHINES & INVENTIONS and information and vocabulary terms connected to the topic!

I use this same plan for my science classroom because I follow the K.I.S.S. motto (Keeping It Stress-free (for the) Substitute)! I guarantee the items in this purchase will keep your students working and interested!

Your purchase includes 5 assignments:

1) Article #1: WORLD'S LARGEST MACHINE (informational reading, question sheet, & vocabulary review)

2) Article #2: WEATHER BALLOON TECHNOLOGY (informational reading, question sheet, & vocabulary review)

3) Vocabulary Puzzles: SIMPLE MACHINES (wordsearch, criss-cross grid, and vocabulary fill-in and picture identification)

4) Webquest: INVENTIONS & TECHNOLOGY (internet assignment with three specific websites that take students through a history of important machines and inventions)

5) Timeline: 100 IMPORTANT INVENTIONS (students will use a timeline from BC - 2000s that lists important machines, who invented the machine, where it was invented and in what year)

ALL ANSWER KEYS ARE INCLUDED!

DOC & PDF Versions! The worksheet is given as a MS-Word document (DOC) which will allow easy modifying to fit your class. A PDF version is also provided for ease of use/printing.

Thank you for your purchase and for taking the time to leave me positive feedback...and enjoy the stress-free time off knowing that your students will be provided with entertaining and educational assignments.
