The Importance of a Challenge for GT Science Students There are usually one or two…and sometimes a whole cluster! I love the GT kids. We must remember to make special considerations with them in the science classroom. While the gifted and talented student may be a “teacher’s helper” at times and lead their groups, it ... Read more

This Kingdoms of Life Mix and Match Game is an excellent way to review the concepts of classification and taxonomy. When teaching a unit on classification and taxonomy, the presentation of the six kingdom classification system seems pretty easy and straight forward, right? When I ask my students what kingdom frogs belong to, I know without a doubt that they are going to say "Animalia." For our middle and high school life science students, learning which organisms belong to which kingdom is a simple task that is quickly and easily mastered. But when I ask my students questions like these, they will hesitate. And often give the wrong answer. Name the kingdom that contains heterotrophic plants. Name the kingdom in which all members are autotrophs. Name the kingdom that contains prokaryotes with peptidoglycans in their cell walls. Name two kingdoms in which all members are heterotrophs. Name the kingdom that contains organisms with specialized cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems. Name the kingdom in which all members have cell walls composed of cellulose. Click image to view product in my TpT store. I have fallen in love with using mix and match card sort games as a way of reviewing and reinforcing concepts in my science classes. My latest creation is this Kingdoms of Life Mix/Match Game. Students are given 6 larger cards. Each large card has the name of one of the six kingdoms in the 6-kingdom classification system. The set also has 80 "answer cards." Students are tasked with matching the answer card to the correct kingdom. The game comes with student answer sheets and a 7-page teacher guide. The student answer sheets are optional, but I always have my students record the answer card statements on the answer sheet. Writing is a way of studying, and the answer sheets make a great study guide for the unit test. The teacher guide has lots of suggestions for how to use the game, directions for set up and implementation, and of course, a complete answer key. The game is perfect for all life science students of different ability levels because you can easily differentiate the game for any group of learners. By selecting which answer cards to use, you can make the game perfect for any ability level.

Are you a 4th or 5th-grade science teacher who wants to save time planning your science lessons? Think about how much time you will save if you never have to create a science anchor chart or poster again. Get 37 ready-to-print Science Anchor Charts that are ready for you to immediately use in your science lessons. This science poster bundle includes over 37 anchor charts to help you teach some of the key science concepts. This bundle seriously will save you so much time. I used to spend hours each weekend creating my anchor charts until I finally decided to create them in PPT. Then all I had to do was print them out on Sunday and was ready to teach for the week. These anchor charts include clear and concise language related to the topic of each chart which makes it a great teaching tool for you and a wonderful reference for students to refer to after the lesson is over. Prep is quick and easy... Just print the version of the anchor chart you want to use and you’re ready to teach an effective lesson! THIS BUNDLE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING ANCHOR CHART SETS: ⭐️ Science Posters - Volume 1 (15 charts) ⭐️ Science Posters - Volume 2 (15 charts) ⭐️ The Scientific Method (7 charts) LOVED BY BOTH TEACHERS AND STUDENTS: Your students will love having access to these anchor charts during the year. They won’t feel the pressure to remember every little detail or step from your science lesson because they know they can look back in their notebooks anytime they need a reminder. You’ll love these anchor charts because they have easy-to-read font and are written with clear and concise language. Your students will understand the topic of the lesson you are teaching with these anchor charts. So many upper elementary teachers love these anchor charts because they aren’t cluttered with excess clipart or fonts that are too “cutesy”. And, you have options. You can choose to print them in half pages for students to glue in their journals… or you can share them with your students in Google Classroom… or you can give students the fill-in version so they can take notes during your lessons. You can pick the version that will work for you and your students. WHAT TOPICS ARE COVERED IN THIS BUNDLE? Here is a list of all the anchor charts included in this bundle. Each anchor chart provides visuals, vocabulary terms, and other details related to that science topic. Animal Adaptations Animal Traits Changes to the Earth’s Surface Earth, Moon, Sun Ecosystems Electrical Circuits Food Webs Force & Motion Insulators & Conductors Landforms Layers of Soil Life Cycle of a Butterfly Life Cycle of a Frog Light Transmission Metamorphosis of Insects Mixtures and Solutions Moon Phases Natural Resources Plant Adaptations Plant Life Cycle Producers, Consumers, & Decomposers Rock Cycle Rotation vs. Revolution Scientific Method Solar System States of Matter The Water Cycle Types of Energy Weather Maps Weather Vs. Climate The Scientific Method Set: The Scientific Method Ask a Question Gather Information Make Hypothesis Conduct Experiment Collect and Analyze Data Make a Conclusion HERE’S WHAT YOU GET: For each of the anchor chart sets, the anchor charts are formatted in the following ways: Half-page anchor charts - perfect for students journals Full page anchor charts - works great for whole group lessons Digital version - created using Google Slides FIll-in version - available for both the half-page and full-page versions and are great if you want your students to take notes during the lesson IDEAS FOR USING THEM IN YOUR CLASSROOM: Use as a model for your whole group lessons. Give students a copy to glue in their journals. Send home a copy to parents to keep them informed. Include a copy with your lesson plans to show your administrators what you’re teaching. Put posters on a ring or in a binder as a reference for small groups or workstations. TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tiann B. says, "Just like all your other anchor charts, these are an invaluable resource especially for busy teachers (and those like me with little artistic skills and the desire to have everything look perfect). These make using anchor charts easy, plus students can have a copy for their own notebook. Very excited to use these this year.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tiffany W. says, "My students loved how simplified these anchor charts were used to address each of the expected science standards. It was also a good guide for me to use as I taught the lessons.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Xatavius H. says, "These were very helpful to have displayed on the board throughout the unit. I even printed them to put in the students' notebook as a reference throughout the lesson!” ___________________________________ YOU MAY ALSO LIKE… → Exit Ticket Sticky Notes → Holiday Themed Reading Passage Bundle → 4th Grade Math Posters →5th Grade Math Posters ___________________________________ Copyright © The Stellar Teacher Co.
