Forms of Energy and Energy Transformations Practice
This activity provides students with energy practice! it starts with identifying different forms of energy in common life scenarios and items: mechanical, kinetic, potential, heat/thermal, radiant/light, sound, electrical, nuclear and chemical. It then moves on to identifying energy transformations: the starting form and the final form. The practice is best used after the "Energy Powerpoint" and the "Energy Guided Notes". I find it important to scaffhold the practice - to do a few of each type

5TH GRADE NGSS REVIEW FOR CAST TEST
Are you tired of doing boring in class reviews for the CAST? I know I was! That is why I create the Review Hunt. It gets the kids up and moving. If it is a beautiful day you can even get the class moving outside!This 5th grade review hunt is based on the CA NGSS 3rd-5th grade standards. This is because the CAST tests student science knowledge from 3rd -5th grade. This can take up a whole 50-minute class period and is a fun refreshing way to review for the California NGSS test!

Friend or Foe Garden Game: Pests and Pollinators
This is an original game I invented and used at school gardens in California and Texas - HUGE HIT! It's fun to challenge students' knowledge and INTUITION about creatures that might be found in nature and around the garden. All photos are original!
Students learn by playing the game. Find out which insects are beneficial and why. Instead of instantly swatting at all insects, students will respect the role they play, e.g., predator, member of the food web, pollinator, etc.

Lactase Enzyme Lab
This lab demonstrates both the specificity and denaturation of the lactase enzyme. This is a true kitchen-chemistry lab- the only required materials are skim milk, lactase tablets (from the pharmacy aisle), and glucose test strips. The lab is fully editable. To simplify the lab or to shorten it for just one class period, I suggest removing "Part 2". A pre-lab worksheet, teacher preparation notes, expected results, and possible modification/extension are included.

Convex and Concave Lenses Activity
The lab activity requires the use of concave and convex lenses. I use simple small ones that are cheap and easy to buy. In addition, you need to have a small object (penny, pair of dice, etc) and a large object (cabinet, door, tv, etc) for students to examine. They will stay at their desks and use the concave and convex lenses to look at each item (once holding the lens close and once holding it at arm's length). Students will write their observations on the chart provided. Then, students will a
