Scientific Method Poster and Interactive Journal Freebie
Introduce your students to the scientific method with a brightly colored poster and a hands-on journal. The journal includes sentence frames to make it easy to differentiate for the ESL students in your classroom.
Engage students in a class-wide experiment to get them used to the scientific method, then have them design their own hypothesis and experiment.
This poster and journal is a freebie from my Cross Curricular Main Idea, Cause and Effect, and Theme Unit

Discovering the Area of a Circle Activity
I give each student one half sheet with the instructions and 2 circles. The instructions advise the students to cut out the left circle into 8 sectors and shape their sectors into a parallelogram. Before the next step, we discuss as a class what the formula is for finding the area of a parallelogram and how we can use that to derive the formula for the area of a circle. My 7th graders usually spend about 20 minutes on this activity. They will need prior knowledge of the circumference formulas an

Simple Microscope Lab
Here is a quick, traditional introduction to microscope lab. I wrote this for a newcomer ELL class that was just starting to move into science content. These are high school students with a wide variety of backgrounds, some with no formal education in their past and some that had attended private schools in their home country.
This lab sheet has simple directions for students to draw what they see as they explored how to use a microscope. When I use this in my room we set out a selection of

Activities for 5PS1-2 Matter NGSS
These are materials that I've created, practiced, and tweaked over the last 3 years of teaching 4th and 5th grade! It's very hard to find good, simple, yet engaging materials to teach NGSS. Especially when most of your class is ELL or SPED, like mine is! So many materials are too hard to read for them, or include science concepts that aren't really in the NGSS. So I made my own that really get to the meat of the matter without any fluff.

Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem
This is a hands on geometric proof of the Pythagorean Theorem. Students arrange four congruent right triangles two different ways on a large square to show that the sum of the areas of the squares formed by the legs equals the area of the square formed by the hypotenuse. The only required materials besides the handout are scissors for each student or team. Rulers are not required because the template already includes unit markings.
