Students will find this grammar activity and worksheet fun as they try to put the words in the correct order to make a sentence.

In this activity, students will hone their observation, inference, and making conclusions skill by trying their best to use a dichotomous classification key to determine the name of their rocks. This Earth Science lab also contains a dichotomous key used for teaching students how sedimentary rocks are classified.

In this lab, students will identify up to 6 igneous rocks. They will practice using a dichotomous key in order to ID their rocks. Students will have a better understanding of igneous rock texture, composition, and color. There are four questions at the end of the lab that will review crystallization, intrusive and extrusive rocks. I give this assignment after our study on igneous rocks, so this is a great assessment activity as well. I have also included my own thoughts and instructions to help you implement this activity in your classroom.

This is an activity-based reading log.

My idea behind this type of reading log is threefold.

1. Keep track of the books that students are reading and the time they are reading each day.

2. Practice a skill-based on reading, writing, and science standards as well as a review of previously taught standards to add more practice.

3. To give students an opportunity to interact more with their parents and siblings, through instilling a little more patriotism, awareness of national events and ideas, and learn a little bit of charity and acts of kindness to others.

In this telling time worksheet, students will analyze 4 clocks and write down the time.  They will take a look at 5 empty clocks with the digital time written and then draw the clock faces.  At the bottom there is one division word problem that is used for a review and early finishers.

In this activity, students will briefly examine 10 fields/disciplines of Geology: hydrology, volcanology, mineralogy, paleontology, stratigraphy, seismology, petrology, geomorphology, geochemistry, and crystallography. They will pick one of those disciplines that they find interesting and find a job description in that field. Students will also find a salary range and what type of education they would need in order to obtain that salary. When students are finished, they should have an idea that there are money and great careers as a scientist in the field of Geology.

In this money word problems worksheet, students will add and subtract dollar amounts to find out how much they would spend altogether, how much change they need back and figure out if they have enough money to purchase the items.  There are 8 money word problems in all. 

You can also purchase the Google Doc version of this worksheet through Teachers Pay Teachers.  The Google Doc version allows you to edit the names, money amounts and verbiage to fit your local students.

This science lab can be used in any of the science disciplines because it is going to help students learn how to read a meter tape. Students will learn what the Magnus Effect is and how to demonstrate the Magnus Effect by "flying" a hollowed-out "Bic" pen across the classroom. Students will also learn how to create a spreadsheet and then add a formula that will automatically calculate the average of their pen flight distances. I use this lab at the beginning of the year to get students excited about science as well.

Students will measure the length of a bird, snake, dog, hippo, and a goat. They will also measure the height of a giraffe. This worksheet includes a comparing activity and some practice with spelling.
