Static Electricity and Magnetic Strength & Making an Electromagnet MS-PS2-3.
Do you need to teach static electricity and magnetism? Both magnetic fields and static electric fields will be examined. We cannot see these fields, but we can see the forces they exert on each other even when objects are not touching. This is a vast resource addressing several standards. There are 98 pages in this unit on static electricity for Middle School. Students will learn about energy fields by studying these two topics (static electricity and magnetism) and will be able to demonstrate a

Inference
This interactive Google Slides assignment works perfectly for synchronous and asynchronous learning. It is intended as an introduction to making inferences using observations and evidence. Students build this skill by watching DiscoveryEd videos, practicing making observations and using evidence, and by seeing a step by step teacher example. Students are also asked to create their own example of inference at the end, so there is a built in assessment! Each slide features a speaker button, whi

Conclusion - Inference –– Write On! Fiction and Science Focus
The word “infer” is controversial in its usage. Some language sources accept it to mean “hint at” as in “Are you inferring I’m lazy?” However, most references present it as a synonym for “conclude.” It is primarily in this context that the words are used in the packet.
The unit provides a paragraph form for analytic writing and requires critical thinking skill.
Both fiction and non-fiction selections are included, along with an information handout explaining the definitions and

After spending two months on the scientific method with my ESL eighth graders I wanted to give them an assessment that would assess their understanding of the scientific method, discrimination between types of variables, and also cover some of the ELA objectives that we needed to accomplish. We did this activity
