My kids weren't really interested in learning about cells until I said slime. Okay, it was a fairly cheap trick since I knew they loved slime. But I also knew that slime would be the perfect way to learn about cells. I can't say I've ever touched cytoplasm but it sounds very slime-like to me.

Want to improve your students' science literacy? Included are 10 writing prompts where students will make inferences and form conclusions based on pictures of scientific phenomena. Writing prompts are on the following topics: 1. How do people float so easily in the Dead Sea? 2. How do rocks slide on their own in Death Valley? 3. Why do sunflowers all face the same direction? 4. What causes fairy circles in Nambia? 5. Why do goats climb trees in Morocco? 6. What causes lenticular clouds? 7. What caused this irregular spider web? 8. What causes the ocean to glow in the Maldives? 9. What causes clubbed thumbs? 10. What caused rocks to form in columns in Ireland? Why use writing prompts? All students need to improve their writing skills, especially English language learners. I created these writing prompts specifically for my ELL students. Writing is typically one of the lowest scoring categories on the state language proficiency exam. To help them improve, I assigned a writing prompt for homework BEFORE the lesson was taught. The goal is for students to think and write about scientific phenomena. Having them answer the prompt before the lesson was taught allowed me to assess prior knowledge, address misconceptions, and guide my teaching. What's included? - PDF of 10 writing prompts with teacher answer key (13 pages) - Google slide student version (10 slides) You might also be interested in: Secondary Science Writing Prompts MEGA BUNDLE Science Writing Prompts FREE sampler Observation Inference Writing Prompts Be sure to follow my TpT store by clicking on the "follow me" button next to my seller picture to receive notifications of new products and upcoming sales.

So one of my goals this year was to put student work up on the walls in my classroom. You see, with 200+ students, how do I put all students' work up? Well that's just it... I don't. I was already collecting sample work from students (you know, keeping the REALLY good ones to show next year's students what their final product should look like), but wasn't doing anything with those samples aside from keeping them in a drawer until the following year. That's when I decided that it was time to put those samples up on the wall. I realized that I don't have to put up samples from EVERY student... meaning, I don't have to put up the eye-sores non-sample work. Below are pictures of what now adorns my very colorful and educational wall. I have already referenced projects on the wall several times... And my 8th graders are reminded of the science they forget from learned in 7th grade. Fun, right? And after receiving numerous emails requesting templates to make some of the foldables shown above, I decided to make a few tutorial posts. You see, my students are AMAZING artists and therefore none of the above projects required templates. Just instructions. So here they are.

This biology end of the year project will have students reflecting back over what they have learned this year in biology in order to complete tasks on 11 different pages. The tasks encourage students to be CREATIVE while they create pages in a book analyzing what they have learned in a new way. Each page has a prompt at the top and covers a different topic taught in biology. The topics covered are listed below: Page 1: Lab Safety Page 2: Biomolecules Page 3: Prokaryotes Page 4: Eukaryotic Cell Page 5: Viruses Page 6: Mitosis Page 7: DNA Page 8: Protein Synthesis Page 9: Genetics Page 10: Natural Selection Page 11: Taxonomy This has been recently updated with an EDITABLE template for you to adjust and use to fit your needs. For your convenience, I have also included a rubric that details what students should have on each page in order to receive complete credit.
