Rocks & Minerals Unit: Lesson 1: Mineral Relevance
While some students are inherently interested in rocks and minerals (I always get a rock hound or two) most middle schoolers find the topic boring. To start the unit on rocks and minerals, I've designed a whole lesson on mineral relevance so students can see the enormous role they play in our lives.
In this lesson, students experience real minerals through centers, a reading jigsaw, an online interactive and more, and will begin to see that some of the products they use the most (like their ce

Plants: Lesson 7: Experimental Design-- Writing Procedures
By this point, students should have the basics of their experiment underway-- their independent, control, and dependent variables.
We will then focus on writing good procedures by trying to follow directions that clearly do not work! After a jigsaw activity, students will come up with the rationale for writing a good procedure, fix poorly written procedures, and come up with rules for writing good procedures. Finally, students (in teams of 2-3) will begin writing their own. If time, students w

Lab Safety Lesson
A lesson on lab safety skills designed for middle school. Students work together to discuss why lab safety is important and create a poster. The lesson includes an activity that allows students to move around the room and identify the lab safety equipment and its use. There are several slides of lab situations and students identify the right and wrong. Several video clips reinforcing lab safety are also embedded. The final two slides are an exit slip to assess student mastery of the lesson.

Plants: Lesson 6: Creating an Experimental Design
Overview:
Before conducting their own experiments on plants, students must first understand the thought processes behind experimental design.
This lesson introduces control, independent and dependent variables through a series of brainstorming activities. Using graphic organizers and students' own thoughts, we work through the design process and rationale. Students should be able to metacognate or "think aloud" why the variables are important, look for connections between them, and differentia

Lunar Phases Part 1
The lunar phases are typically hard for students to learn, mostly because they are really hard to visualize. Thus, I created a simulation using styrofoam balls stuck on pencils to help students see exactly why the moon "changes shape." This lesson focuses on the integration of diagramming, keen observation, and logic. As students rotate, diagram and discuss, they begin to understand how our perspective determines everything.
In a later lesson, we explore what the moon looks like from "above" o
