How Do We Use Natural Resources?
After a teaching about four of the basic natural resources: sand, water, rocks, and soil; students can show what they know with this sort.
Glue the headings across the top of the page, then have students places the products each resource can make below the heading.
I have also made a Promethean flipchart that leads up to this assessment. Message me and I'll e-mail it to you for free!

Picture Sort for Science Unit on Matter
This file contains pictures of 20 everyday items that are solids, liquids, and gases. This sort can be printed once and used as an interactive sort into solid, liquid, and gas categories. It can also be used as an assessment (students each receive a copy, cut out each item, and sort independently). This file includes two pages: one with solid, liquid, and gas labels (I have students glue one of each label onto the short end of a 12x18" sheet of construction paper), and the other with the objects

Oil and Water Science Experiment
I did this with my students today. I saved up a bunch of water bottles and the students watched as I put it together. All you do is add some water, oil and food coloring. I put a little super glue on the lids so my behavior babies wouldn't have the chance to make a mess.
I teach kindergarten, so I used the younger version of the papers I created. I first let them explore with the bottles, tilt them, move them, give them a little shake. Then I had them get our their science journals. We added t

My 4 Seasons Book
This is a mini-book used to get students talking and writing about the four seasons. There is a bare tree on 4 different pages, where the students are able to color and draw what the tree would look like in each corresponding season. There is a small space to write about what happens in each season, and there is also a blank thermometer (in Celsius and Fahrenheit) where the student can mark the temperatures that can usually be found in each season. When finished, it can be stapled together and b

Solid or Liquid? Dr Seuss' Oobleck Lab (very easy starch and water)
Perfect for K-6 and fun for Gr 7-9. In this lab we will create a very strange polymer that shows signs of a liquid (it pours) but also shows sign of a solid (doesn't splatter). Its extremely easy to make with just corn starch and water in the proper proportions. The word polymer means “many chained” molecule. Carbon and Hydrogen can form very long strong chains that make life possible. In this activity the students will create a very long chain affectionately called “Oobleck”. It comes fro

Try It Before You Buy It! NGSS Force and Motion - Sail Car (grades K &3)
That's right! Download a free copy of the sail car lesson for free. I decided that I wasn't making very much through TPT and would rather have teachers access and use my resources for free.
In this lesson, students build identical sail cars, then experiment with different variables for sails (i.e., sizes, shapes and materials) to determine which design is the most effective.
Reviews and suggestions for improvement are encouraged!

Is It a Push or a Pull? Interactive Slides
This is a Google Slides document that has 18 slides covering the concepts of push or pulls. It targets Kindergarten students and gives more than a dozen slides that ask students to decide if a motion is a push or a pull. Once they have decided on a guess, the screen can be moved forward to display the answer. This should be a fun and engaging activity for the students.

Hot and Cold Temperatures and Weather Tools
Science state standards listed on plans and can be used in reading, writing, and math.
If you need a science lesson plan for your formal evaluation this may be the one for you. I am always very nervous about my observations so I spend a lot of time planning, designing, and writing out the plans. It's lengthy, really 2 lessons at least, written in Madeline Hunter format, and tested and passed by my own formal evaluation.

This unit is designed to engage student's prior experiences with motion, forces, and interactions on the playground. Students will learn what a force is by recording everything they can safely do to someone on a swing to make them move, eventually learning that no matter what they did it falls into the category of a push or a pull. At the end of activity one students should be able define a force as a push or a pull that changes the motion of an object. Students will then use model swings (tire
