Geocaching Project
Students learn about the global treasure hunt called Geocaching in the intro PowerPoint. The project has them build and hide caches on campus, and log their coordinates using several GPS devices that I have gathered through the years (I started with only 1 the first year).
The culmination of the project is to have each class period search for caches hidden by a different class period.
I also encourage students to create and account on geocaching.com, download the Geocaching Ap (available on t

You Wind Some You Lose Some Project
This is a fabulous project from a project-based learning school used in our 9th grade Physics class, but adaptable for middle school science classes as well. As our first 6-week project, we learned about controlled experiments and renewable energy transfers using wind turbines. This is an excellent way to incorporate the NGSS Science and Engineering Practices (the project was showcased at a NSTA conference). Students designed their own wooden blades which were then laser-cut and assembled on w

Importance of learning science
Learning science is particularly important for students as it equips them with the essential knowledge and skills to make sense of the world around them. Science education is not just about memorizing facts. It fosters critical thinking, inquiry, and problem-solving abilities. These skills are not only useful in school but also in everyday life beyond the classroom.
Benefits of learning science
Learning science offers many benefits to students both in school and beyond. In fact, it helps students:
- Question the world around them and seek evidence-based explanations
- Cultivate their ability to observe, experiment, and analyze data
- Nurture a sense of curiosity, awe, and wonder about the natural world
- Understand natural phenomena and the laws that govern the universe
With a solid foundation in science, teachers can help empower students to think critically, solve problems, make informed decisions, and engage with the world around them in meaningful ways.
Teaching with science resources
One of the best parts about science class is all of the possibilities for hands-on, collaborative learning! Think: labs, experiments, inquiry-based activities, and design challenges. These activities encourage students to explore scientific concepts by observing, asking questions, and conducting investigations. Additionally, with small group centers, students can engage in group experiments, discussions, and projects that require them to collaborate, share ideas, and solve problems together.
Discover printable and digital science resources
If you’re a teacher or parent looking for printable or digital science resources, TPT has an extensive array of instructional materials for every learning need, topic, or grade level. Whether you're learning about plant parts or butterfly life cycles, or exploring advanced topics like the anatomy of a cell or Newton’s laws of motion, we've got you covered.
On TPT, science resources come in various forms: from labs and worksheets to craftivities and doodle notes. They can be used to enhance learning, assess a student’s mastery of science concepts, or to reteach a tricky topic. With plenty of TPT resources at your fingertips, teaching and learning science will be so much easier. Plus, you can expand students’ knowledge even further by exploring TPT math resources, which are frequently paired with science lessons.
