In this equivalent and comparing fractions review worksheet students will demonstrate their understanding of fractions.  Students will illustrate their knowledge of comparing fractions using number lines and pie charts, the butterfly or cannon method of comparing fractions, a few word problems that compare fractions,s and finally demonstrate that they understand that a fraction with a denominator of 1 will be a whole number and a fraction that has the same denominator as the numerator is equal to one. 

This worksheet is a scavenger hunt that students can use to learn and relearn the knowledge of expository text features.  In the worksheet, students will find titles of diagrams, titles of charts, captions, keywords, bullet points, illustrations, table of contents, glossary, sidebars, titles, subtitles, and maps.

I use the Scholastic News with this worksheet, but it could work with any magazine type.

In this bundle of resources, students will be exposed to reading the different types of expository text: description, sequence, compare and contrast, caused and effect.

In this 3rd through 10th-grade lab, students will observe the formation of salt crystals. Students will also add food coloring to their dissolved salt solution to demonstrate how chemical impurities can change a mineral's color. If you have enough students doing the lab your class will get to see many different results. This Earth Science lab comes with the student work, student image sample results, and with my own insights and explanations as to how the experiment can work well.

Students will find the product using the distributive property.  There are also 4 questions that review the identity property, the zero property, the commutative property, and the associative property.

In this demonstration, students will get a better understanding of what a geyser is and what makes it function the way it does.  I was worried about trying this at the high school earth science level because it is a bit elementary, but the science is sound, and it works.  Materials needed are:

In this assignment, students will open up a Google Doc, you can have it printed as well, and fill out a table of some very useful industrial ores. The ores that will be researched are diamonds, gold, rock salt, bauxite, iron, and titanium. Students will research which 3 countries in the world are the top producers of each ore. They will then find and write 2 or more industrial uses for each ore. As they are doing their research, students will also use a map and mark where these countries are. This is great to reinforce the geography standards.

This is an interactive digital glacier lab that will help students understand what glaciers are, what some of the formations and deposits look like, and will have students explore how glaciers grow and shrink, and how scientists go about discovering glacial movement speeds over time as well as finding out how scientists come up with the numbers of how long glaciers will last at current rates. Students will actually be the scientists discovering the rate of speed as they build their own interactive glacier using PhET. You will need computers that can run Java.

Find out how glacier melt can raise ocean sea levels. This science video also explains thermal expansion.

Dirt Bike Comparing Fractions is a multiplayer math game that allows students from anywhere in the world to play tug of war with each other while practicing comparing fractions! Students can compete against each other.
