Skittle Radiometric Decay Half-life Lab
Did you know you can use Skittles candy to demonstrate absolute dating and radiometric decay! Buy a 1-4 lb bag at your local bulk warehouse store for savings. This lab is a great way to show how isotopes decay by shaking a plate full of random skittles. Students use Skittles to observe "Isotopes" decay over each half life. At the end of the lab (and only IF they have done all their work) they can enjoy their "daughter products". Skittles were used because they are durable, hypoallergenic, and th

Force and Motion STEM Unit
The Force and Motion Interdisciplinary STEM Unit connects to the universal theme of Change. Students will learn through force and motion lessons that change can be planned or spontaneous, evolutionary or revolutionary and that one change stimulates another. Students will learn about Sir Isaac Newton and the Laws of Motion. They will engage in multiple discovery learning centers that include simple experiments about force and motion concepts. Using a problem solving strategy, students will so

Science Skills Bell Ringers
3 weeks worth of bell ringers focused on basic science skills including determining variables, reading graphs and data tables, making observations and inferences, explaining your thinking, forming hypotheses, sorting information, averaging, measuring, compare and contrast, rounding data and creating a claim. Some questions are open ended and do not have a right/wrong answer, some do have correct answers. These bell ringers are best used with upper middle school through high school. Answer Key is

Grade 6 Statistics and Classification Cross-Curricular Rotating Table Problems!
This is a great rotating table problems or stations activity. I used this with my inclusion population to introduce classification and review grade 6 statistics in math.
This includes 6 stations, a student answer document, and a teacher key.
Slides 1 and 2: Give living organisms that students must decide how to classify (wow! I thrilled with how creatively they classified!)
Slide 3: Find the mean, mode, median, range
Slide 4: Find the mean, find the absolute deviation
Slide 5: Determine if
