Cell Phone Experiment
Students write a hypothesis as to what it would be like to not have their phone in school for 3 consecutive days. They then turn in the phone to me at the beginning of the day and get it back at the end of the school day for 3 days. They must then analyze their results. This is the write up for the experiment. I use this for extra credit.

Lab Group/Small Group Job Descriptions
These job descriptions can be used in any small group setting to keep all students engaged. I laminated them, punched holes in the corners, and tied yarn on them to make a lanyard-type tag students wear during the activity. This keeps them from getting lost and makes the job "official" for younger students. They can also be edited to fit your needs.

Classroom Scavenger Hunt
I used this scavenger hunt as a centers activity for the first week of school. The students enjoyed getting to explore the room by themselves and I felt it was an easy way for them to get to know each other and their environment quickly. As a science teacher it was particularly useful to instructing the students on expectations for groupwork and safety elements around the room. You could easily draw & photocopy or create a class outline to replace the one I've made for my classroom.
