Not to mention that they are a great way to let your students get to know you, and a great way to get to know your new students. Observations and inferences can be taught by providing students with a small item that represents who you are or why you teach - ask them to observe and infer what that item means to you. For example, my students analyze one of my favorite pieces of wall art, a sketch of a h

Matter/Basic Chemistry Unit- Part 10
This is basic matter and chemistry information. Each part is a couple days to a week long worth of activities. Students can use this as a flipped classroom lesson.
These can be adapted from 4th-9th grade I would say since science depending on state will hit many of these terms for state testing. Adapt to fit your kiddos. Don't forget to come back to see the other parts to create a full unit!
