Slime Lab
This is a lab that I created because my students enjoyed slime and had expressed interest in making it at school. I used this as a way to launch into the scientific process and matter. We discussed the phases of matter as ingredients were measured and mixed together. This lab guides students through the whole process of a science lab. We found that the butter slime does not work really well. This is part of the scientific process after all. :) For students who benefit from pictures to sequen

Periodic Table Research/Writing Project
This project is designed to teach students about the different classifications (metals, metalloids, and nonmetals) and families of the Periodic Table (alkali, alkaline earth, transition, halogen, and noble gas). Students will need a couple days to research the various groups and then time to write up their "journal entries". I generally have done this with 8th graders, but it could easily be adapted and used with other grades! I have included a very general rubric that you can adjust as needed!

Periodic Poetry
Great cross-curricular mini-project blending scientific fact with poetic techniques. Students learn information about an element on the Periodic Table and create an original poem incorporating fact and poetic devices. Students demonstrate a deeper understanding of the facts they have researched as well as their proficiency in using literary devices. Excellent project for National Poetry month! Students really enjoy creating the backing for their poem as well!

Science Fair & Spam!
This purpose of this group project is to help prepare students for the literature review portion of the Science Fair Project. Students will look critically at sources, work together collaboratively, and present their findings as a culminating activity. This fun, hands-on project provides students with a nice break from the tediousness of the Science Fair forms and takes them through the Literature Review process.
