My students love to look at the interesting specimens I have scattered about my classroom and what better way to let them do that than by learning the characteristics of life? This lab is a great introduction to the characteristics of life and is also a great beginning of the year activity for a life science or biology class. It gives students the opportunity to get to know other students in the class while simultaneously observing all of the weird and interesting specimens around the classroom. For this lab activity, have your students brainstorm 8 characteristics of life. It’s okay if they come up with incorrect characteristics. Students then travel around the room to look at 20 different specimens (you must provide the specimens). At each specimen, students try to determine what characteristics of life each one has and what the specimen is. After they observe all 20 specimens, there are a few post lab questions for them to answer. The Google Doc lab activity includes a full description of how to use the activity in your classroom and what types of specimens you could put out for your students. It also includes a link to a Google Slide that lists the 8 scientist approved characteristics of life. Check out the preview for more! Time to Complete: 40 - 60 minutes Topics Covered: Characteristics of Life What's Included: 2 Pages Data Table for Activity 8 Post-Lab Questions Google Slide of All 8 Characteristics of Life Answer Key Need to Teach Macromolecules Next?

I've always been a fan of using magnetic alphabet letters in the classroom. They're bright, fun, & seem to get kids excited when they see them. But that's not all they're good for, here are my top uses/reasons why magnetic letters are one of my classroom essentials. I've even got a FREEBIE for you. Magnetic Letters Are: Fast and Easy: little hands will have no issue manipulating these tools Engaging: your learner will be an active participant Hands on: promoting a deeper content connection Offer Learner Safety: making an error feels less defeating when using moveable pieces - I've seen kiddos shut down when spelling words at the small group table when needing to erase their response to make a change but magnets offer the feeling of "play" that makes spelling/letter sounds safer and more comfortable (from my experiences) Differentiation: the letters make it easy to switch up activities to meet the needs of different learners Here are a few of my favorite ways to utilize magnetic letters for differentiation in my classroom throughout the entire year Letter Recognition and Matching: Matching uppercase to lowercase and vice versa is a skill that's practiced most of the year in kindergarten. For this reason, I wanted to share an uppercase freebie with you to help support that beginning of the school year practice. Freebie Preview - To download: click the pink "download here" button at the bottom of this page Initial Sounds: For your students who master letter names and can match them with ease - offer differentiated letter content to them like using initial sound cards Initial Sounds + CVC's + Blending Sounds For students who have mastered their sounds, use the knowledge of initial sounds to solve secret CVC cards and blend those sounds to form CVC words All of these magnetic letter activities can be found in bundle via the blue button - to learn more about it, click it and it will direct you to my shop. To grab your freebie: click the pink "free download" button below. Enjoy!
