Ive used this year after year. great resource with awesome cut-outs that give a great visual. clear and easy to use.
My students enjoyed this format in many other 5e lessons, it does a very good job of presenting the material, giving them activities to investigate it further and encourages communication of science ideas with their group.

Exploration

The student-led station lab is differentiated for all learners and learning styles. With nine stations, you can introduce potential and kinetic energy to your middle school students in a variety of ways! 

Input Stations offer students multimodal ways to absorb lesson learning.

  • Explore It! - Hands-on demo or experiment connects students with information through engagement.
  • Read It! - Students read a short passage and answer comprehension questions. Choose from differentiated reading passages in English and Spanish.
  • Research It! - Students visit a website, perform tasks, and answer related questions.
  • Watch It! - Students learn through a short video and discussion on their lab sheet.

Output Stations provide ways for your junior high students to show what they know about potential and kinetic energy.

  • Organize It! - Students use printable hands-on card sorts or manipulate digital images to foster categorization skills.
  • Write It! - Students respond to open-ended questions and communicate in complete sentences.
  • Illustrate It! - Students sketch or draw concepts; visual activity can increase recall and retention of new information.
  • Assess It! - Students answer more formal questions to demonstrate mastery and vocabulary in context.

Bonus Station!

  • Challenge It! This station offers fun extension activities for your early finishers to push their learning even further. This also provides the class with another reinforcement option. 

Explanation

  • Editable PowerPoints in standard and interactive versions with differentiation
  • NEW! Interactive notebook templates in multiple formats, including digital INB files and print files in Spanish and English
  • Note-taking templates to help students follow along with presentations

Elaboration

  • Student-choice projects on potential and kinetic energy to extend the learning in-class or at home

Evaluation

  • Assessment questions updated for STAAR 2.0 (Texas end-of-year testing) and available in dependent and modified versions
  • Review questions and a worksheet for class discussion, test practice, or homework

Can This Resource Be Used for Virtual Learning?

Absolutely! The station lab from the Exploration section and the PPT/INBs from the Explanation section have been created so that students can use them on campus or in a virtual learning environment.
